What is Muxie?

Muxie is a terminal workspace for the work that should keep going when you stop watching it: coding agents, remote shells, cloud boxes, test runners, servers, and deploys. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Where a normal terminal ties every session to a window — close the window or drop the connection and the work dies — Muxie runs sessions through a small background daemon. Local shells, SSH hosts, and sprites.dev boxes keep running even after the window closes or the network blips. You reattach to the same terminal, with its scrollback intact, instead of restarting your agent and rebuilding its context.

What it gives you

Durable sessions. A bundled daemon owns your PTYs, so a closed window or a dropped connection doesn’t end the work. See Durable sessions.
One model for local and remote. Local shells, SSH hosts, and sprites.dev cloud machines live in the same workspace and behave the same way. See Session types.
Agent awareness. Muxie watches each pane and labels coding agents as working, blocked, or done, so you know what needs you. See Agent awareness.
A fast terminal engine. Terminals render with Ghostty’s terminal core compiled to WebAssembly, off the main thread, so noisy agent and build output stays smooth. See The terminal engine.
A workspace, not a tab strip. Group sessions into workspaces, split panes, stack pane-tabs, and preview web apps in a browser pane. See Workspaces & panes.
Extensible by design. Sprites, SSH, and the Agents hub are themselves plugins, built on the same hooks and slots any plugin can use. See the Plugin development guide.

Who it’s for

Muxie is aimed at people who run coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini, and others) and remote sessions as a daily driver, and who want those sessions to survive disconnects, restarts, and context switches.
