What is Claude Cage?

Claude Cage is an independent community project built around running Claude-related workflows inside a managed virtualized environment, rather than directly inside the host desktop.

Isolated workspace

Run supported guest operating systems in a separate environment. Share only the folders you choose.

Network controls

Import a Clash/Mihomo-compatible proxy or supported proxy node, select an exit, and inspect network checks.

One place to work

Use Claude Code, a browser, terminal, editor, and supported Claude Desktop workflows from one dashboard.

Persistent projects

Keep your work and guest tools in persistent virtual disks, so you can continue later.

Multiple accounts

Manage supported Claude Code account sessions and review the quota information shown in Cage.

Remote options

Connect a phone for supported remote controls or deploy to a compatible Linux VPS through SSH.

Cage does not include a Claude account, proxy subscription, or operating-system license. Its network checks reduce certain risks, but cannot guarantee account safety or complete isolation.

Supported devices and systems

Desktop Cage requires compatible virtualization capabilities. The mobile apps are companions, not replacements for the desktop or remote environment.
