vmux

Built for Linux · written in Rust

Your agents are working.
You should know where.

vmux is the terminal multiplexer for AI-assisted development. Persistent workspaces, live agent status, and every pane one command away.

Less terminal babysitting

See the whole operation.
Act on what matters.

vmux turns a pile of terminal sessions into a workspace that understands agents.

01

Agents report their own state.

Busy, waiting, done, or failed. Status stays visible across workspaces until you actually look.

02

Detach without stopping.

Panes live inside a small daemon. Close SSH, shut the laptop, reconnect tomorrow—your agents are still there.

03

Organized like your work.

Sessions contain workspaces, tabs, and panes. Every new shell opens in the directory you expect.

04

A terminal, not a web app in disguise.

Written in Rust and drawn with ratatui. No Electron, no browser runtime, no account required.

vmux Remote

Your terminal.
In your pocket.

Check every workspace, catch agent handoffs, and send the answer without reopening your laptop. vmux Remote connects directly to your relay over Tailscale or your local network.

  • Live workspace and pane status
  • Terminal input and essential keys
  • Direct connection—no vmux cloud

From zero to attached

One command.
Your workspace survives.

  1. 01

    Install

    cargo install vmux-tui

    Or use the checksum-verified prebuilt binary for Linux and macOS.

  2. 02

    Attach

    vmux attach

    The daemon starts automatically and keeps every pane alive.

  3. 03

    Connect your agents

    vmux hooks install

    Agent status appears in vmux without changing your workflow.

Local by architecture

Your terminal data stays on your machines.

The CLI and relay talk to your local vmux daemon. Remote access crosses your own tailnet—not ours.
