When to Choose AMUX

AMUX is a good fit in specific scenarios. Here is when it makes sense.

You prefer a web-based interface

AMUX runs in any browser. If you work across multiple operating systems and want a consistent UI without installing a native app, AMUX covers that use case.

You run agents on remote servers

AMUX can be deployed on a remote server and accessed through SSH tunneling or a browser. This is useful for teams with centralized build machines.

Your team shares a single server

Multiple developers can connect to the same AMUX instance running on a shared server. AgentsRoom focuses on individual developer workflows with E2EE mobile sync.

Switch from AMUX

Moving to AgentsRoom takes under a minute. Your Claude Code config files carry over.

Download AgentsRoom

Install the macOS app from agentsroom.dev. Open it and point it to your project directory.

Configure your agents

Assign roles, set models, and organize agents with drag-and-drop. Your existing Claude Code config files are detected automatically.

Start working

Launch agents directly from the app. Status updates, notifications, and mobile sync work out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AMUX?+

AMUX is an open-source tool that provides a web-based UI for managing multiple Claude Code sessions. It wraps tmux to display agent terminals in a browser interface, letting you monitor and interact with several agents from one page.

Can I use AgentsRoom on Linux or Windows?+

AgentsRoom is a native macOS desktop app. The mobile companion runs on iOS and Android. AMUX works on any OS with a browser, which gives it broader platform support for the desktop experience.

Does AMUX support agent roles?+

No. AMUX treats each session as a generic Claude Code instance. AgentsRoom provides 13 specialized roles (architect, frontend, backend, tester, reviewer, and more) with distinct system prompts and visual indicators.

How does setup time compare?+

AgentsRoom installs in about 30 seconds: download, open, point to your project. AMUX requires installing dependencies (Node.js, tmux), cloning the repository, building, and configuring. Typical setup takes around 10 minutes.

Can I get notifications with AMUX?+

AMUX does not support push notifications. AgentsRoom sends native macOS notifications on the desktop and push notifications to iOS and Android through its E2EE relay.
