Muxy

Muxy is a terminal multiplexer. You organize your work into projects and work in tabs and split panes. Terminals run in a background server, so they keep running when you close the app, and several apps can show the same terminal at once.

Three ideas explain most of Muxy:

• The server owns the work. Projects and terminal sessions live in the server, not in the apps.
• Each app owns its view. Tabs, split layouts, workspaces, and project order are private to each app.
• Terminals outlive apps. Quitting or crashing an app never ends a terminal. Closing the last pane that shows it does.
