Overview

Amux is an open‑source control plane that lets you run multiple AI coding agents, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Ollama, together from a single interface. You can host it yourself with a one‑line install script, or use a managed cloud instance that runs at a subdomain such as yourname.amux.io.

The system presents a shared kanban board where each worker claims tasks atomically, so two agents never pick the same item. Workers can send messages that include the real sender's identity, request reviews, and attach evidence files. When a model hits its usage limit, amux holds the delivery and resumes the job after the reset, and it restores each worker's conversation after a reboot on macOS. You can define recurring prompts in plain language (for example, “daily at 9 am”) and set loops that let agents pace their own queues.

Amux is aimed at developers who already use CLI‑based AI coding tools and want a lightweight coordination layer instead of a full IDE integration. The dashboard runs in a web browser, and a native iPhone, iPad and Mac app let you monitor and steer workers from any device. Each worker keeps its own repository, memory and lane, and you can switch the underlying model for a running worker without losing context. The backend is a single Rust binary; the retry queue stores claims in memory and drops in‑flight jobs on restart, which the codebase documents in a 214‑line Rust file.

The platform includes a set of visual tools: a board with filters and saved views, an iCal feed for schedules, and a sketch surface that syncs drawings between laptop and phone, saving them as plain .excalidraw files. Feature videos demonstrate the end‑to‑end flow, and the source code is publicly available under the MIT + Commons Clause license.

Pros and cons

Pros

Coordinates dozens of agents from one dashboard without duplicate work
Works with existing CLI agents; does not replace the underlying tools
Provides mobile access to monitor and intervene in real time
Open‑source codebase allows self‑hosting and customization

Cons

Pricing details are only shown for the managed cloud option; self‑hosted version has no published cost but requires your own infrastructure
In‑flight jobs are stored only in memory, so they are lost on restart unless persisted manually
No built‑in IDE features; it relies on external CLI agents for code editing and execution.
