README

tuimux

A centralized TUI multiplexer for running multiple terminal applications in embedded terminal windows. Pick a **tabs** layout (a task-list sidebar plus one active app) or a tmux/zellij-style **panes** layout (tiled, split-able windows) — and switch between them live. Built with [OpenTUI](https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui) and SolidJS.

Screenshots

Tabs mode

The default layout: a task-list sidebar of your apps on the left, with the active app (here, `btop`) running in a full embedded terminal.

Panes mode

A tmux/zellij-style tiled layout — split windows into multiple panes and watch several apps at once (here, two `htop` panes), with a window-list sidebar for navigation.

Command palette

Press `Space` to fuzzy-search apps, global commands (switch layout, rotate sidebar, run the setup wizard, pick a theme) and per-app actions.

First-run onboarding

On first launch with no apps configured, a welcome wizard lets you multi-select from a list of app presets.

Nine built-in themes with live swatches, switchable on the fly.

Rotatable task list

The task list can live on any edge — left, right, top, or bottom (`Shift+B`). Here it sits as a horizontal top bar in panes mode.
