Muxy is a free, open-source terminal for macOS, built with SwiftUI and libghostty to stay lightweight and easy on memory. It organizes your terminal sessions by project, so instead of a pile of unrelated tabs, you get a workspace that keeps each project's terminals, panes, and history together.

Key Features

• Project-Based Workflow: Muxy organizes terminals by project and keeps your workspace state saved between sessions.
• Vertical Tabs and Split Panes: Use a sidebar tab strip with drag-and-drop reordering, plus horizontal and vertical split panes with resizable dividers.
• Built-In Git Tools: View git status, diffs, commit history, and branches, and create or list pull requests, all inside the terminal.
• Git Worktrees: Create, switch, and manage git worktrees right from the sidebar.
• File Tree and Text Editor: Browse your project files and edit them in a built-in text editor with syntax highlighting, without leaving the terminal.
• Find in Files: Search across your whole project for matching text, with a preview of each match.
• Quick Terminal: Open a floating terminal from anywhere with a shortcut, which keeps its own shell and history while hidden.
• Free and Open Source: Muxy is released under the MIT license, so its code is public and it costs nothing to use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. Muxy is completely free and open source under the MIT license.

What macOS version does Muxy need?

Muxy requires macOS 14 or later.

How do I install Muxy?

You can install it with Homebrew using the commands brew tap muxy-app/tap and brew install --cask muxy, or download the latest release from GitHub.

Does Muxy support git out of the box?

Yes. Muxy includes built-in git status, diffs, commit history, branch switching, and worktree management, so you do not need a separate git client for most tasks.

Is Muxy the same as a regular Mac terminal?

Yes. Muxy has companion apps for iOS and Android that let you pair with your Mac and control your terminals remotely.
