Terminal-first execution
Run serious AI work in a native macOS shell surface instead of bouncing between wrappers and detached browser tabs.
Official site/v1.8.10
One cockpit for terminal-first AI execution.
imux is a native macOS command center for serious AI work. Keep terminal execution, local and remote files, source control, browser tasks, and supervisor-driven next steps inside one deliberate workspace.
Platform
Native macOS
Swift, AppKit, Ghostty-grade rendering.
Workspace
Local + remote
One model for projects, SSH targets, and files.
Operating style
Zero-config first
Infer context early, expose controls only when needed.

Status
Ready to continue
Goal inferred from current repo, files, and recent task history.
Files
Open, inspect, edit, and save without leaving the workspace.
Remote
SSH-backed browsing, same layout, same path handling.
Capabilities
Built for operators who want context visible while work is happening.
imux is not another browser dashboard sitting on top of a terminal. It is a command center that keeps execution, files, remote state, and guidance within the same working surface.
Local and remote explorers
Browse local projects and SSH-connected hosts from the same workspace, using the same mental model and the same right-side control plane.
In-app file editing
Open, inspect, edit, and save files without breaking terminal flow. Drag paths directly into the active conversation when needed.
Supervisor mode
Turn a few lines of user intent, project context, and recent work into a concrete execution brief with bounded next steps.
Browser and automation
Keep browser-backed tasks beside the terminal and expose them to the same operator workflow instead of juggling separate tools.
Source control visibility
Keep Git state, repo context, and working directories visible while agents or operators are pushing real work forward.
Why it lands differently
The fastest path from a few user turns to a real execution surface.
Files stay beside the active terminal instead of hiding behind a separate app.
Remote hosts use the same explorer and editing workflow as local projects.
Source control and project context remain visible while changes are happening.
Supervisor mode frames the next move without forcing a heavyweight setup ritual.

Workflow
Zero-config where it should be. Explicit control where it matters.
The product philosophy is simple: infer first, ask second. You should be able to open a project, connect a host, and start moving before you get buried in setup panels.
01
Open a workspace
Point imux at a local repo or connect an SSH target. Zero-config flow infers enough structure to begin immediately.
02
Read the working surface
Terminal state, files, Git context, remote paths, and recent interaction notes stay visible in the same command deck.
03
Let the supervisor frame the next move
imux can compress current context into a startup plan, execution brief, or operator handoff without turning the workflow into ceremony.
04
Execute without losing context
Browse files, edit code, inspect output, and move between local and remote targets while the conversation stays anchored.

FAQ
Direct answers for what people ask first.
The product stays opinionated about workflow quality, while remaining practical to adopt.
Is imux just a Ghostty fork?
No. imux is a native macOS command center built on Ghostty-grade terminal rendering. The product expands that foundation with explorers, editing, browser execution, supervision, and workspace orchestration.
Who is imux for?
Operators, engineers, founders, and power users who already run multiple AI-assisted workflows and want one sharper control surface instead of more window sprawl.
What makes the workflow different?
imux keeps the terminal first-class while adding the missing surfaces around it: files, remote hosts, source control, browser context, and an execution-focused supervisor.
Does it support remote work?
Yes. imux reads SSH configuration, connects to remote targets, and exposes remote files in the same explorer model used for local work.
