Features

Everything you need to run coding agents at scale

🖥

Persistent Sessions

Run multiple coding-agent CLIs side-by-side, each in its own tmux pane. Sessions persist across crashes, restarts, and multiple concurrent Thurbox instances.

🌳

Git Worktrees & Sync

Spawn sessions in isolated git worktrees for branch-level isolation. One-key sync ( Ctrl+S ) rebases all worktrees from origin/main, with automatic conflict resolution and worktree cleanup on session close.

🤖

Any Coding Agent

A session runs one agent of your choice — Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, opencode, aider, GitHub Copilot CLI, Vibe, pi, Oh My Pi, or any CLI you describe. Each agent runs with its own default config. Mix different agents across the sidebar.

🛡

Agent Definitions

Agents are declared as data in ~/.config/thurbox/agents.toml , seeded with built-ins on first run. Add or tweak an agent — command and argument templates — with no recompile.

⏰

Automations

Named, scheduled agent runs — one-shot or recurring (cron, with daily / weekly presets). On schedule they send a prompt to a session or spawn a fresh one. Manage them from the always-on Ctrl+P pane (or the thurbox-cli headless binary); they fire even when the TUI is closed.

☑

Tasks

A built-in todo list whose items connect to a coding agent — send the title to a session or spawn a fresh one. Toggle the panel with Ctrl+W ; edit in place, cycle status, and trigger the action with r .

🔎

Code Review

A native, GitHub-style diff reviewer ( Ctrl+X ) — no external tool. Browse the branch, a commit, or working changes in a folder tree , leave classified comments, fold reviewed files, then send the review back to the agent to address. Stays open per session, like the shell view.

🧩

Extensions

Opt-in, agent-agnostic add-ons that compose Thurbox through thurbox-cli — never the binary. Install each from a declarative manifest in one command ( thurbox-cli extension install <name> ), and Thurbox keeps its session and automation self-healed . Ships flow, forge, ci-shepherd, renovate, and task integrations for GitHub / GitLab / Linear / Jira (all experimental).

🔍

Global Search

One key ( Ctrl+/ ) searches every scope at once — sessions (incl. live terminal content), tasks, automations, and files — with matches highlighted live in the panels themselves.

🧩

Persistent tmux Sessions

Every session runs in a dedicated tmux -L thurbox pane behind a single SessionBackend trait, so sessions survive crashes, restarts, and detaches.

🔌

Headless CLI

The thurbox-cli binary scripts everything from the terminal: create and drive sessions and schedule commands, all sharing the TUI's SQLite database.

How It Works

Three steps from launch to coding

1

Launch

Start Thurbox. The session sidebar and terminal panel appear.

bash 
thurbox
2

Create a Session

Press Ctrl+N to pick repos, name the session, then choose an agent.

thurbox 
Ctrl+N  New session
# Pick repo: ~/projects/my-app
# Name: my-app   Agent: claude
3

Start Coding

Spin up sessions (optionally on a fresh git worktree) and start working with the agent. Navigate, sync, and fork with Vim-inspired keys.

thurbox 
Ctrl+N  New session (select mode)
Ctrl+L  Cycle focus to terminal
Ctrl+J  Switch between sessions
Ctrl+S  Sync worktrees with origin/main
Ctrl+P  Automations (scheduled agent runs)
Ctrl+R  Restart active session
Ctrl+F  Fork active session
Ctrl+O  Open repos in editor

Session creation

Spin up a session in a few keystrokes: pick one or more repos, name it, and choose an agent — optionally on a fresh git worktree for branch isolation.

File viewer

Browse the worktree's file tree right beside the agent, with fuzzy search to jump straight to any file.

Themes

Nine built-in palettes — five dark, four light — switch live with a keystroke and persist across restarts. Bring your own in themes.toml.

Prerequisites

  • tmux >= 3.2 — session backend
  • A coding-agent CLI — e.g. claude , codex, antigravity, opencode, aider, copilot, vibe, pi, or omp
  • git — required for worktree features
  • Rust 1.75+ — only for building from source (optional)
