- 05
Extensible configuration for custom CLI tools and status rules
Freemium
The core tool is open-source (Apache-2.0 license) and free to use. Users are responsible for any costs associated with their own third-party AI model subscriptions.
Best for
Developers and software engineers who use multiple AI coding agents simultaneously and prefer a terminal-native, keyboard-driven workflow.
Not ideal for
Users who require a graphical user interface (GUI), those unfamiliar with tmux or terminal environments, or users seeking built-in AI agent frameworks rather than orchestration.
A highly efficient, open-source orchestration tool for power users who want to manage complex, multi-agent development workflows directly from their terminal.
Recent releases added portable session notifications, first-class support for Hermes Agent, MCP tools for managed terminals, and improved navigation with arrow keys for stepping in and out of panes.
