The Problem It Solves

Running multiple Claude agents in parallel is how serious AI-assisted development actually works. You don't run one agent sequentially — you run a doofing session, a test runner, a refactor agent, and a shell, simultaneously. Standard tmux gives you the panes but none of the awareness: you have to actively check each one, manually accept permissions, manually navigate.

gmux adds a status layer — 🟢🔴🟡 per pane — so you know at a glance which agents are working, waiting for permission, or blocked. Then it adds gesture and voice navigation so you don't break flow to interact with the multiplexer itself.

What gmux Does

Status bar — per-pane: 🟢 working, 🔴 waiting, 🟡 needs input, ○ idle. Progress counters where applicable.

Gesture navigation — point at a pane for 600ms to select. Swipe to move between panes. All hands, no keyboard.

Voice commands — "next red", "go to pane 3", "accept permission". Wake-word activated, offline STT.

TTS responses — agents can speak their status updates. "Doofing complete: 5 of 7 tasks done, waiting on database."

Phone remote — web dashboard on local network. Accept/deny agent permissions from your phone without touching the keyboard.

Session restore — saves agent configurations. Re-launches all agents in their configured panes after reboot.

Competitive Landscape

Tool	Stars	What's missing
herdr	214★	No gesture control, no voice, no status overlay
recon	192★	No gesture control, no TTS, Linux only
cmux	13.3k★	macOS only. No AI awareness.
Codeman	289★	Single agent. No multiplexing.

The Cloud Tier Play

gmux is open source and fully functional locally. The cloud tier adds what local can't provide:

No API key management

Bedrock as the managed AI backend. Users don't configure or pay for API keys directly on the paid tier. Anthropic Claude via AWS IAM — enterprise-grade auth, no credentials exposed in config files.

Cross-machine session sync

Lambda + DynamoDB sync session configurations, agent bindings, and keybindings across machines. Your gmux setup on the laptop matches your desktop matches your server.

Free / paid boundary

Free: local Anthropic/OpenAI key, basic pane tracking. Paid ($12/month): Bedrock backend, session sync, phone remote, priority support. Enterprise: dedicated instance, SLA, custom integrations.

What AWS infrastructure unlocks

Bedrock — Managed Claude API. No user API key. IAM auth. Audit logs. The prerequisite for a business-grade paid tier.

Lambda — Sync session state, agent configurations, and keybindings. Stateless, scales to any user count.

DynamoDB — Per-user session storage. Cross-machine config sync. Sub-10ms reads for session restoration.

CodeWhisperer — Voice/gesture-triggered suggestions. "Kalarc, suggest a fix for the error in pane 3."

"The developer environment that knows which of your 10 AI agents is stuck, and lets you approve it with a thumbs up."
