Field notes
BX uses macOS sandboxing rather than a virtual machine or container, according to the homepage. Its launcher model combines selected folders with app-specific presets, while .bxignore files can be kept under version control. A protection tree distinguishes readable, writable, and hidden paths, and the site says rejected accesses are recorded with the responsible program named beside them.
