amux - The Agent Control Plane

Hi HN, I'm Ethan. I built amux because I was spending more time switching between terminal tabs than actually building things. amux is an open-source agent multiplexer that lets you run, monitor, and control multiple headless Claude Code sessions from a single dashboard — in your browser, on your phone, or from the terminal. The problem: I run 5-10 Claude Code agents at a time across different repos. Keeping track of which one is waiting for input, which one is working, and which one broke something was chaos. I needed a control tower. What it does: - Spin up any number of Claude Code…

What it does

amux is an open-source control plane for AI coding agents. Instead of running one Claude Code session at a time, you run 10-50 in parallel — each claiming tasks from a shared kanban board, coordinated so they never duplicate work. Includes a web dashboard, mobile PWA + native iOS app, built-in CRM, Gmail API, browser automation, scheduler, and agent-to-agent messaging. Single Python file. Zero external dependencies. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.

Run an AI engineering team from one dashboard. amux is the open-source control plane for AI coding agents — launch, coordinate, monitor, and recover dozens of parallel Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI sessions from a single interface. Self-healing, MIT licensed.

amux is the open-source control plane for AI coding agents. Run Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI side by side as named workers with a shared board, origin-stamped messaging, schedules, and self-healing recovery. One dashboard, and your phone. 5 to 50 agents, zero coordination overhead. Watch live worker status, steer any session by typing into it, answer blocked prompts with one tap, and get an owner alert when something genuinely needs you. The dashboard is an installable PWA, and the native iOS app is on the App Store. Steering, approvals, and alerts work on both.

    HN, I'm stoked to share this product I've been working on non-stop for the past few weeks. It's an immersive GUI experience for working with many coding agents in parallel. The UX should be familiar to Claude Code users, but we took advantage of the GUI nature to add in a bunch more. cmux is early but certainly usable—almost all of our internal cmux development rolls through cmux itself. Please let me know your thoughts and feedback!

    Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

  • 20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53

    Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

  • Aviator Agents2025 · aviator.co · ▲97

    When we asked developers from large engineering teams, almost everyone is using Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. But adoption is still inconsistent. Some of us would have 15 agents running in Claude Code at the same time; some would still refuse to use any of them and write code manually. There's a fragmented AI development problem: - Five developers building similar features, and all of them start from scratch - No way to share "here's how we prompt AI to follow our architecture" - No trail of how the AI changes were generated - People leave the company, so does the their knowledge Aviator…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
