agent-manager puts Claude Code and Codex in one tmux view

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    The team behind agent-manager, a free open-source app written in Go and tmux, says it wraps 12 CLI tools including Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI in one session list.

  2. Why it matters

    It leaves each CLI and its login, subscription and settings intact, so existing users can trial several coding agents at once without reconfiguring them.

Context & Analysis

The posting comes from the people building agent-manager, and it frames the problem in operational terms: once two or three agents run at once, terminal tabs multiply and it becomes hard to tell which session is finished or stalled. Their stated answer is not to replace the CLIs but to add a thin layer outside them, so logins, subscriptions, config files and MCP servers carry over unchanged.

The setup choices follow from that. Sessions run on a dedicated tmux server called agentmgr, separate from a user's everyday tmux, and they survive quitting the manager; a command to list them is provided. A review mode collects inline comments on an agent's diff and sends them back as a numbered review, tracking whether each was addressed. Sessions can be killed to free memory and later restored v.45.0 introduced a first-run setup that imports each CLI's saved conversations, and environment profiles let one CLI run under separate accounts for work and personal use.

FAQ
Which CLI tools does agent-manager support status detection for?
It supports 12: Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Grok Build, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Pi, Command Code, Hermes Agent, Muse Code, Oh My Pi and Cursor CLI.
How do I install it?
On macOS and Linux, the simplest route is Homebrew with 'brew install agent-manager', which installs tmux if missing. Windows works natively with psmux via Scoop, or under WSL2 using the Linux steps.
Can I keep prior conversations from each CLI?
Yes. Since v0.45.0 the first-run setup imports the conversations each CLI has already saved, so you can resume earlier work from the list.
