Overview of tuios
What it is
TUIOS is a modern terminal multiplexer and window manager built with Go. It provides a vim-like modal interface with multiple terminal panes, workspaces, BSP tiling, kitty graphics protocol support, and a command palette, all running inside your existing terminal. A daemon keeps sessions alive, reaches sessions on your other machines, and lets the coding agents in your panes report their state and message each other.
Key features
- Multiple Terminal Panes: Create, resize, drag, and organize terminal sessions - 9 Workspaces: Independent workspace isolation with instant switching - Modal Interface: Vim-inspired Window Management and Terminal modes - Command Palette: Fuzzy-searchable action launcher (Ctrl+P)
- Agent State: Panes running a coding agent show whether it is working, waiting, done or errored - Inbox: Prefix+i lists everything waiting for you across sessions and machines - tmux Shim: Run tools that drive tmux, such as Claude Code agent teams
Use cases
- Managing multiple terminal sessions with tiling and workspaces - Running coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) with state reporting and inbox - Automating workflows with Tape scripting - Connecting to remote sessions on other machines
