The open-source terminal built for coding agents

cmux is the open-source terminal built for multitasking with coding agents. It has vertical tabs, notifications, a built-in browser, and it's built on Ghostty. When Claude Code needs you, the pane glows blue and the sidebar tells you why. No Electron/Tauri. Just Swift/Appkit.

Hey Product Hunt!
We're Austin and Lawrence, the creators of cmux.
We run a lot of Claude Code and Codex sessions in parallel. We were using Ghostty with a bunch of split panes, and relying on native macOS notifications to know when an agent needed us. But Claude Code's notification body is always just "Claude is waiting for your input" with no context. With enough tabs open, we couldn't even read the titles anymore.
We tried a few coding orchestrators but most of them were Electron/Tauri apps and the performance bugged us. We also just prefer the terminal since GUI orchestrators lock you into their workflow, and we couldn't set up our layout the way we wanted it.
So we built cmux as a native macOS app in Swift/AppKit. No Electron/Tauri.
Vertical tabs
Blue rings around panes that need attention
Built-in browser
Based on Ghostty
It uses libghostty for terminal rendering and reads your existing Ghostty config. It also has a built-in browser with a scriptable CLI. Agents can snapshot the accessibility tree, click elements, fill forms, and evaluate JS, all from the terminal.
It’s completely free & open source (AGPL). You can grab it via Homebrew:
brew install --cask manaflow-ai/cmux/cmux

I've been using this for a while. I really enjoy it. The notifications are surprisingly a game-changer in my workflow. Highly recommend!
