It a stage for your early-stage ideas, a place for your drafts, a box for your one-time use.

OneBox is designed for trivial, quick and temporary use cases, which shall:

  • Start instantly! - No need to make any directory, workspace or project!

  • Files and editor! - Quickly create, import, generate and export files with ease (or scripts)
