Show HN: Clor – The ADE where Claude and Codex work together with shared memory

Clor, an agentic development environment (ADE) co-founded by Jacob, lets Claude and Codex agents work together in Docker-based sandboxes with shared memory, and is free for local use. The tool, available for Mac with web access, syncs credentials and transcripts across workspaces, and monetizes optional cloud runners.

Hi HN, I'm Jacob, one of the co-founders of Clor https://clor.com https://clor.com . Clor is an agentic development environment ADE for Claude and Codex with shared memory. Every agent session runs in its own sandbox workspace with its own Git checkout, processes, and dependencies, and all of them share memory, so each one can search every past transcript and read what the others are doing in real time. Quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDpZBJHsKSk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDpZBJHsKSk We built Clor because we were juggling Claude and Codex TUIs across a dozen Ghostty terminal tabs, and it stopped working well. We would lose track of which tab was doing what, two agents in the same checkout would fight over the working tree, node modules, and dev server ports, and switching from Claude to Codex on the same task was a manual handoff every time. Claude Desktop and ChatGPT Desktop make it easier to stay organized, but switching between two apps that are slightly different gets old fast. Keeping skills, memory, and MCPs in sync across both is also a pain. Every workspace is a Docker container built from the base image https://github.com/clorhq/containers https://github.com/clorhq/containers , and you can extend it with your own image or run setup scripts on top. The same image runs on your laptop or a cloud runner. Here's how it works on a Mac: - If you don't have one installed yet, install OrbStack https://orbstack.dev/download https://orbstack.dev/download or Docker Desktop. - Download Clor for Mac https://clor-cdn.com/Clor.app https://clor-cdn.com/Clor.app . - Start creating workspaces for your coding tasks. Each workspace is a Docker container with a Git checkout and the official Claude or Codex CLI, which you can use from the browser or from your terminal. - Sign in with your Claude or OpenAI subscription, or an API key. Agent credentials are synced to new workspaces automatically. The Clor control plane is cloud-based, so the Mac app, the browser, and your phone are just different ways of accessing your workspaces. You can start a task on your Mac, check it on your phone, and then keep working on it from another machine. You can use your computer as a local runner. You can also add other machines you own like a Mac mini as runners. Clor also offers hosted cloud runners. Developers use them to run more workspaces than a laptop can handle. They're also always on, so closing your laptop or overheating doesn't stop your work. There's no desktop app for Linux or Windows yet, but it works great from the web. Run curl -fsSL https://clor.com/install.sh https://clor.com/install.sh | bash in WSL2 on Windows to make the machine a runner, and then go to https://clor.com https://clor.com Every agent transcript goes into shared memory, so it's searchable from any workspace, alongside a wiki where agents can create notes for each other. Clor does not proxy, resell, or mark up agent traffic. The Claude and Codex CLIs connect directly to Anthropic and OpenAI. Stored agent credentials use AES-256-GCM with a separate key derived for every secret. The runner and the tunnel service use mTLS. You can delete transcripts stored in memory and wiki documents at any time. Clor is entirely free to run on your own Mac, Linux, or Windows machines, including workspaces, shared memory, tunnels, and secrets. There's no credit card required. We make money on cloud runners and other optional cloud services. Your Claude or OpenAI subscription or API usage is separate. We'd love your feedback.
