Problem solved

Running multiple terminal-based AI coding agents often means juggling tmux windows, losing track of which tab is waiting for input, and repeatedly switching contexts. Agent Session Manager Desktop centralizes agent and shell sessions in a desktop GUI, preserves per-tab working directories, highlights waiting agents with a header counter, and supports ntfy push notifications so users can respond promptly without hunting through terminal tabs.

Use cases

• Manage several AI coding-agent sessions from one desktop window
• Run agent and shell tabs side by side for a single project or repository
• Keep separate working directories per tab when switching between repos
• Answer waiting agent prompts via a header counter without changing tabs
• Receive ntfy push notifications when an agent needs attention
• Coordinate parallel Gemini, Aider, Codex, or similar terminal-based coding agents
• Maintain persistent tmux-backed sessions while using a graphical interface

Audience

• Developers
• ML Engineers
• Hobbyists
• Startups

Pros

• Desktop GUI reduces the overhead of managing many tmux terminal tabs
• Per-tab working directories help organize multi-repo and multi-task workflows
• Waiting-agent header counter surfaces prompts without manual tab switching
• ntfy push notifications extend monitoring beyond the desktop
• Open-source and built on Wails, Svelte, and xterm.js

Cons

• Requires tmux to be installed and understood on the host system
• May require Wails/Go build tooling if no prebuilt package is available
• ntfy notifications need additional setup or an ntfy service
• Focused on terminal-based agents, not GUI-only or cloud agent platforms
• Early-stage project documentation may be limited
