dmux review

dmux is a terminal tool that creates a tmux pane, git worktree and branch for each agent task, installed with npm. It is MIT-licensed. We read the vendor's site and GitHub pages in October 2026. We did not run an independent test.

Who it is for

Terminal and tmux users who want one worktree and branch per agent task, with merge and pull request actions from a menu.

What stands out

Pressing a key creates a pane, asks for a prompt and one or more agents, then sets up the worktree, branch and agent launch. The README lists Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline CLI, Gemini CLI, Qwen CLI, Amp CLI, pi CLI, Cursor CLI, Copilot CLI and Crush CLI.

From the pane menu you can merge back to the main branch or push and open a GitHub pull request. Other listed features are lifecycle hooks, a file browser with diff preview, multi-project sessions and macOS notifications.

Terminals restore their last directory, and supported agents resume their conversation when a pane is recreated. The latest release was v5.11.1 on 16 August 2026. The repository showed 1,811 stars on 29 October 2026.

Price and licence

The LICENSE file is MIT, with copyright to Justin Schroeder, and the site footer credits FormKit, Inc. No price is stated (seen 29 October 2026).

Where it falls short

Alternatives

Claude Squad is a comparable terminal manager. Orca gives a desktop interface for the same worktree-per-task idea.
