About
Overmux is an experimental beta for building custom agent development environments on top of an existing tmux workflow, mixing terminals with custom web UIs. Nearly everything is a plugin, with planned support for multiplexers such as tmux and Zellij and terminal renderers such as xterm.js and Ghostty. It can also connect to cloud infrastructure so workspaces are not limited to the local dev machine.
At a glance
Overmux adds configurable web interfaces to a tmux-based workspace for developers and coding agents. It is worth exploring if you want your terminal and code-review view to fit a workflow that standard panes do not cover.
Good fit
Developers comfortable configuring an experimental workspace and reviewing its plugins.
Consider something else when
Keep your current terminal when you need a stable tool with little setup.
Start here
Use a disposable repository and one terminal pane. Add a diff view and check whether it makes reviewing a small change faster before enabling remote access.
Cost and requirements
MIT-licensed experimental beta using tmux and web plugins. The project describes desktop and mobile interfaces.
Limits to know
Plugins add code to your workspace. Review their access and how the mobile interface connects before exposing a terminal with credentials.
