pmtui

pmtui is a native Rust supervisor designed for developers who run long-lived AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex. It keeps one persistent terminal session per project, so each agent continues working toward a defined goal without losing context. The tool nudges idle agents on a regular cadence, auto-handles routine decisions, and only pulls the human in when a genuine judgment call is needed. This lets developers manage multiple AI agent projects simultaneously while staying focused on higher-level work. The project ships two binaries: pmd, an optional headless driver that runs the heartbeat and handles escalations via logs and desktop notifications, and pmtui, a terminal dashboard built with ratatui. The dashboard offers three views: Sessions, which shows every project grouped by its driver with a live transcript beside it; Tasks, which displays sessions as cards in columns like Paused, Needs You, Pending, Autopilot, and Working; and Settings, for tweaking preferences such as themes. All state is file-based, so the dashboard works whether or not the daemon is running, and it integrates with tmux for session management. pmtui is ideal for developers who want to scale their AI coding workflows, reduce context switching, and keep multiple agents productive with minimal manual intervention. It is open-source and free, with a simple installer that checks for binaries and falls back to a source build when necessary. The tool supports keyboard and mouse navigation, and it can fork conversations, send messages without attaching, and set goals to steer autopilot behavior.
