What it is

Use cmux to create a custom AI-powered command line in your Mac terminal.

Real use case example

"A solo developer is working on multiple projects and wants to stay organized. By setting up cmux, they can create a custom terminal interface with vertical tabs and notifications. They can then use AI coding agents, like codex, to automatically suggest lines of code and review their work. This lets them focus on their projects' logic instead of spending time writing code."
