# AgentsRoom > Your IDE for Claude agents. The visual alternative to CMUX for running multiple Claude agents. AgentsRoom is a desktop app that lets you run dozens of Claude CLI agents across all your projects at once. Think WhatsApp, but for your AI dev team. ## What it does - **Visual project management**: All your projects organized by zones (Work, Personal, Side-projects) with live activity indicators - **Multi-agent orchestration**: Assign specialized roles (DevOps, Frontend, QA, Backend, Architect, Security, PM, Marketing, Fullstack) to agents across your projects - **Real-time terminal per agent**: Full xterm.js terminal with syntax colors, 10K lines scrollback, and live streaming output - **Agent status tracking**: See at a glance who's coding, thinking, done, idle, or stuck - **macOS notifications**: Get notified when an agent finishes or needs your input - **CLAUDE.md editor**: Edit project context, permissions, and hooks without leaving the app - **Model per agent**: Choose Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku per agent depending on the task - **100% local**: Agents run on your machine via Claude CLI — your code never leaves your disk ## How it works 1. Create a project pointing to a real folder on your machine 2. Add agents with specialized roles (each gets its own system prompt) 3. Send prompts — AgentsRoom spawns real Claude CLI processes 4. Watch the output stream live, get notified when done, give new instructions ## Tech stack - Electron + React (desktop app) - xterm.js (terminal) - Claude CLI (agent runtime — real process per agent) - Zustand (state management) - Tailwind CSS (styling) ## Comparison with alternatives | Feature | AgentsRoom | CMUX | AMUX | iTerm2 | tmux | |---------|-----------|------|------|--------|------| | Visual GUI | Yes | No | Web UI | Yes | No | | Agent status | Yes | No | Basic | No | No | | Notifications | Yes | CLI only | No | No | No | | Multi-project view | Yes | No | No | Manual | Manual | | Built-in terminal | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Edit CLAUDE.md | Yes | No | No | No | No | | Drag & drop | Yes | No | No | No | No | | Setup time | 30 sec | 5 min | 10 min | Manual | Manual | ## 9 built-in agent roles 1. **DevOps** — CI/CD, infra, deployment. Example: "Set up CI to run tests on every PR" 2. **Fullstack** — End-to-end features. Example: "Add Stripe checkout flow with webhook handling" 3. **Frontend** — UI/UX, components. Example: "Refactor the Header with the new design tokens" 4. **Backend** — API, database, perf. Example: "Add rate limiting to the auth endpoints" 5. **Architect** — System design, refactoring.
