RMUX: A Rust-based universal terminal multiplexer with typed SDK for agent orchestration
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
RMUX is a universal Rust-based terminal multiplexer built for the agentic era. It offers a tmux-compatible CLI, a daemon-backed SDK with a typed interface, and native Ratatui integration. Designed for running long-lived agents over SSH without losing terminals, it enables detachable, scriptable, and inspectable terminal session management across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project reimagines the tmux use case from scratch in Rust for performance and modern orchestration needs.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledRMUX exists because I believe the tmux use case has only been partially explored.
I wanted to run long-lived agents over SSH without losing their terminals, while still being able to inspect, script, and orchestrate everything around them.
So I rebuilt that idea from scratch in Rust: a blazing-fast, tmux-compatible multiplexer.
