Products that do what spymux – Spy on your tmux panes does
I had motivation for writing this after I kept switching back and forth between agents to see if they've finished what they were working on (and I couldn't find a similar tool out there). I'd imagine it can be useful for other scenarios as well, e.g. tracking multiple build/test jobs over multiple windows. Still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share :)

Hey HN, Small OSS project that i created for myself and want to share with the community. It's a declarative, scriptable, terminal-based IDE focussed on agentic engineering. That's a lot of jargon, but essentially its a multi-agent IDE that you start in your terminal. Why is that relevant? Thanks to tmux and SSH, it means that you have a really simple and efficient way to create your own always-on coding setup. Boot into your IDE through ssh, give a prompt to claude and close off your machine. In tmux-ide claude will keep working. The tool is intentionally really lightweight, because I think…

Author here. RMUX started from a frustration: I've used tmux for years and got tired of scraping output with grep and sleeps to automate anything. So I rebuilt the multiplexer from scratch in Rust, with a programmable layer on top. Two surfaces: a tmux-compatible CLI (~90 commands, your keybindings just work), and a typed async Rust SDK on the same daemon — stable pane IDs, structured snapshots, locator-style waits. The idea is Playwright-style automation, but for terminals. Native on Linux, macOS, Windows (real ConPTY, no WSL). Demos and docs at rmux.io. Happy to answer questions about the…

Hey HN, There’s been a lot of interest recently in meta-harnesses, loops, and multi-agent orchestration. Obviously, there are already a lot of good tools: Conductor, cmux, the native Codex / Claude Code apps, etc. For my own use cases, I’ve felt that the orchestration layer tends to feel overengineered. I mostly wanted a simple local harness (i.e Pi) for running and tracking CLI agents with the ability to hop in (via tmux). Relaymux is my opinionated attempt at that. A few design principles: - The frontend is just Telegram / iMessage / CLI. If I want more visibility, I hop…

I kept losing track of my terminal as I started using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex more heavily, I kept finding myself cmd-tabbing, hitting cmd-`, and mousing around trying to find the right tab. I have Carpal and Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome in my thumb and pinky, so this was really flaring up my RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) symptoms. So I built back2vibing. When an agent finishes or needs input, it can bring the exact terminal window or tmux pane back into focus so I can start typing or dictating immediately . For me, the biggest benefit is not just for my RSI but also reliability. While…

I've been a tmux user for years. When I started running 5-10 Claude Code sessions in parallel, I tried the tools that are out there: Conductor, cmux, the GUI orchestrators. None of them felt right. They either wanted me to leave tmux entirely for a 100MB+ Electron app with its own editor and Git workflow, or they were thin wrappers that didn't solve the actual problem: I need to parallelize my entire development environment, agents, editors, servers, logs, and keep track of all of it. So I built jmux. It turns tmux into a parallel development environment. Every session, every agent, every…

Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai

Most neovim users will be familiar with flash.nvim, which amongst other things, allows you to quickly jump to a word in your visible buffer. It’s a great tool for developers who want to quickly navigate their codebase. I was looking for something similar, but for tmux. I wanted to be able to search visible words in the current tmux pane, then copy that word to the system clipboard by pressing the associated label key. I built https://github.com/Kristijan/flash-copy.tmux, with the aim to bring that functionality to tmux. Here’s a bit of a write up…

RunKit is a browser based tmux manager that works great on a phone over Tailscale. I created it to be able to run several AI agents in parallel, after trying out several existing tools. There's no database (state is read live from tmux). Right now, its the first thing I install on any server, and from there on RunKit becomes the management cock-pit for that server. Also, for running several agents in parallel, RunKit has been a lifesaver. It shows the status of all running agent on the left panel, and sends you a notification anytime an agent is stuck. Please try it out, and let me know if…
