Manus Sandbox is a fully isolated cloud virtual machine that Manus allocates for each task. Each Sandbox runs in its own environment, does not affect other tasks, and can execute in parallel. The power of Sandbox lies in its completeness—just like the personal computer you use, it has full capabilities: networking, file system, browser, various software tools. Our AI Agent has been designed and trained to effectively choose and correctly use these tools to help you complete tasks. Moreover, with this computer, the AI can solve problems through what it does best—writing code—and can even help you create complete websites and mobile apps. All of this happens on the virtualization platform behind Manus. These Sandboxes can work 24/7 to complete the tasks you assign without consuming your local resources.

What's in Your Sandbox Your Manus Sandbox stores the files needed during task execution, including: Attachments uploaded by you Files and artifacts created and written by Manus during execution Configurations needed by Manus to execute specific tasks (such as tokens uploaded by users, or tokens assigned by Manus to users for calling related APIs) You can view all artifact files in the Sandbox via the "View all files in this task" entry in the top-right corner.

The cloud sandbox has served Manus well. Inside an isolated, secure environment, it has everything an AI agent needs: networking, a command line, a file system, and a browser. This is the foundation of Manus's power as a general AI agent, always online and always ready to work. However, there has always been a fundamental limitation: your most important work happens on your own computer. Your project files, development environments, and essential applications all reside locally, not in the cloud. Today, we are closing that gap. Meet My Computer, the core capability of the new Manus Desktop application. It brings Manus out of the cloud and onto your computer, allowing it to work directly with your local files, tools, and applications.

Through the Manus Desktop app, Manus executes command line instructions (CLI) in your computer's terminal. This allows it to read, analyze, and edit local files, as well as launch and control your local applications.

Every terminal command requires your explicit approval before execution. You can choose "Always Allow" to streamline your workflow for trusted tasks, or "Allow Once" to review each operation individually.

My Computer also integrates with your personal Projects, Agents, and Scheduled Tasks. This allows you to create recurring local routines, such as tidying your Downloads folder every morning or generating a weekly summary report from your local data.
