cmux

cmux is the best implementation I’ve seen for agent orchestrators apps like Conductor, T3 Code, Dux, and friends:

Open source Ghostty-based macOS terminal with vertical tabs and notifications for AI coding agents. Built for multitasking, organization, and programmability.

It’s built on top of Ghostty1 and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s effectively better than what I attempted to build once during an on-site hackathon wiring Claude Code sessions to Obsidian.

The invariant I care about the most:

  • restart your computer
  • reopen $APP
  • automatically restore every claude code session: layout & history preserved, scrollback intact

…is accomplished with fine elegance by cmux.

There’s no need to manually fiddle with tmux / zellij resurrection or alike.

Pair it with worktrunk (the wt CLI) for bonus points. Its integration is well-supported, achieving one cmux workspace per git worktree. For the time being I’m still invoking wt manually though, because that gives me more control.

It is very customizable.


  1. Desirable side effect: existing ghostty settings are automatically inherited. They aren’t duplicated — they are effectively reused, which is superb. ↩︎
