AMUX
Run dozens of parallel AI coding agents unattended via tmux
Expert verdict

3-1The Panel's Take
AMUX is an open-source agent multiplexer that lets you run dozens of Claude Code (or other terminal AI coding agents) simultaneously, all managed from a single web dashboard — no complicated setup required. Built by the team at Mixpeek, it requires only Python 3 and tmux, with the entire server delivered as a single ~23,000-line Python file with embedded HTML/CSS/JS. The standout features are a self-healing watchdog that auto-compacts context when it drops below 20% and restarts stuck sessions, a SQLite-backed kanban board where agents atomically claim tasks to prevent duplicate work, and a REST API injected at startup that allows agents to coordinate with each other via simple curl calls. There's even a mobile PWA with offline support via Background Sync so you can monitor your agent army from your phone. In the "agentmaxxing" era, AMUX is the most complete open-source solution for running parallel AI coding agents unattended. Rather than babysitting one agent, you dispatch 5–20 agents to isolated worktrees and check back in as a reviewer. The MIT + Commons Clause license means it's free to self-host.

“This is exactly what the agentmaxxing workflow needs. Single Python file, no external services, and the kanban board preventing duplicate agent work is genuinely clever engineering. The self-healing watchdog alone saves hours of babysitting stuck sessions.”
“MIT + Commons Clause isn't really open source in the traditional sense — you can't build a commercial product on top of it. Also, coordinating 20+ agents that all share Claude Code rate limits means you'll hit API throttling walls faster than you think.”
“We're moving from one developer + one agent to one developer + agent swarm. AMUX is early infrastructure for that paradigm shift. The agent-to-agent coordination REST API hints at genuine multi-agent systems emerging from terminal tooling.”
“The web dashboard with live terminal peeking is surprisingly polished for a side project. Being able to monitor your agent army from a mobile PWA while away from the desk is a genuinely practical touch.”
