It uses tmux to manage agent sessions and gives them a shared board and messaging, addressing the coordination work involved in running multiple coding agents at once. The project is aimed at developers who want to supervise a group of agents from one dashboard rather than manage each session separately. It runs locally on macOS and Linux, with browser access and companion apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad; Android users can use the browser dashboard. ## Key Features - A shared task board with atomic claiming to prevent two agents from taking the same task. - Agent-to-agent messaging for questions, handoffs, and unblocking work. - Session recovery that restarts crashed or stuck workers. - Scheduled runs and recurring loops, including time-based schedules. - Per-worker model and CLI switching across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Ollama. - Dashboard access from a browser, phone, tablet, or Mac app. - Local-first storage using SQLite, with an optional hosted amux Cloud service. ## Use Cases - A solo developer can delegate independent coding tasks to several agents and coordinate their work from one board. - A small engineering team can schedule recurring agent tasks and monitor progress without manually relaying messages between workers. - A developer running long jobs can use session recovery and an always-on amux Cloud server to keep work going while their laptop is asleep. - A mobile user can check on workers or approve and steer work away from their development machine. ## Our Take amux is a practical fit for developers who already use coding-agent CLIs and want shared orchestration, though its young, highly concentrated project history deserves attention. **Good fit if:** - You use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or Ollama and want multiple workers coordinated through a task board. - You can run tmux 3.2+ and prefer a Rust binary with local SQLite storage on macOS or Linux. - You value active development: the project is marked active, has recent commits and releases, and has contributions from multiple people. **Look elsewhere if:** - Your environment cannot provide tmux or you need a platform beyond the stated macOS and Linux server support. - You need a project whose maintenance is broadly distributed: measured contribution data shows most code comes from one contributor. - You want a tool limited to one coding-agent provider, since amux is designed to manage several CLIs and switch models per worker. ## Project Health | Signal | Value | |---|---| | Status | **Active**: regular commits and releases | | Last commit | 2026-10-26 (today) | | Commits, last 90 days | 100+ | | Releases, last 12 months | 2 (latest desktop-latest, 2026-10-19) | | Contributors | 21 (top contributor: 97% of commits) | | Issues closed, last 90 days | 0+ | | Pull requests merged, last 90 days | 93 (typically merged in 0 days) | | Project age | 8 months | Checked on 2026-10-26 with the GitHub API. ## Project Facts - Language: Rust - Stars: 547 - Forks: 69 - Topics: agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, ai-agents, ai-coding-assistant, anthropic, claude, claude-code, codex - Website: https://amux.io - Archived: no ## What You Need Detected in the repository: - Node.js (from package.json) - Rust (from Cargo.toml) - A test suite and automated checks on GitHub Actions ## Getting Started ```bash curl -fsSL https://amux.io/install.sh | bash ``` Then open `https://localhost:8824`. You need tmux 3.2+ and at least one supported agent CLI.

Without a license, the default copyright rules apply: you may read the code, but not reuse it. Check the repository or ask the authors. ## Alternatives - [rimz](https://osrepos.com/repo/rimio-ai-rimz): RimZ centers on terminal sessions in tmux or Zellij, while amux adds a shared task board, schedules, recovery tools, and a dashboard. - [codeg](https://osrepos.com/repo/xintaofei-codeg): Codeg coordinates agents through the Agent Client Protocol in a cross-platform workspace, rather than amux’s tmux-based control plane. - [multica](https://osrepos.com/repo/multica-ai-multica): Multica focuses on assigning issues and reviewing agent progress, using a Go backend instead of amux’s Rust and tmux setup. - [Vicoa](https://osrepos.com/repo/vicoa-ai-vicoa): Vicoa connects agent CLIs to web, desktop, and Flutter mobile clients through a Python backend and local daemon. | Project | Language | License | Stars | Status | |---|---|---|---|---| | **amux** | Rust | – | 547 | Active | | [rimz](https://osrepos.com/repo/rimio-ai-rimz) | Rust | MIT | 33 | New | | [codeg](https://osrepos.com/repo/xintaofei-codeg) | Rust | Apache-2.0 | 4k | Active | | [multica](https://osrepos.com/repo/multica-ai-multica) | Go | – | 53.2k | Active | | [Vicoa](https://osrepos.com/repo/vicoa-ai-vicoa) | Python | AGPL-3.0 | 516 | New | ## Considerations - The project is young, despite frequent recent commits and releases. Its measured contributor base is larger than one person, but code contributions are heavily concentrated in a single contributor. - The measured data shows no issue closures in the recent period, so issue-handling responsiveness is not established by that metric. - Local use requires tmux 3.2+ and at least one agent CLI. The repository also lists Node.js and Rust as runtimes; it does not list Docker as a requirement. - The README presents the license as MIT plus Commons Clause, while repository metadata reports `NOASSERTION`. Review the repository's license files and obligations before adopting it, especially for commercial use.
