Windows Terminal Multiplexer
Windows Terminal Multiplexer (wtmux) lets you run many terminal sessions inside a single window and keep them all alive as long as you need. Split your screen into panes to watch a build, tail logs, and edit files side by side; organize related work into named windows and sessions you can jump between in a keystroke.
Because your sessions run in the background, you can detach and walk away — close the terminal, reconnect over SSH, or reboot your workflow — then reattach later to find everything exactly where you left it, still running. Long-running tasks keep going whether or not a window is open to watch them.
If you already know tmux, you’ll feel at home: Windows Terminal Multiplexer uses familiar prefix-key commands and reads your existing ~/.tmux.conf, so your prefix key, key bindings, and status bar come along with you. A configurable status bar keeps session, window, time, and custom info in view, and a plugin system lets you extend what the status bar and wtmux itself can do.
