About agent-manager
agent-manager is an open-source developer tool created by Yoan Wainmann designed to optimize command-line workflows when coding alongside multiple AI agents. Distributed as a lightweight, single Go binary under the Apache-2.0 license, it consolidates popular AI CLI agents—including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Grok, and Pi—into a single live-status tmux environment.
Built specifically for power users and terminal-centric developers, agent-manager streamlines multitasking across multiple AI assistants with dedicated keyboard shortcuts and deep tool integration:
- Quick Responses: Tap the
spacebar to respond to blocked AI agents instantly without manually attaching to their session. - Conversation Forking: Press
fto fork an active conversation thread into a named sibling session to explore alternative coding paths. - Integrated Terminal: Press
Tto pin a standard terminal shell alongside your active AI agents for manual execution. - Structured Diff Reviews: Use
ctrl+rto review whole-file diffs and add line comments, which aggregate into a single structured prompt sent back to the agent. - Git Worktree Isolation: Launch agent sessions directly inside isolated Git worktrees to keep experimental AI code modifications neatly organized.
- Session Persistence: Operating on standard tmux sessions, your background agent tasks continue running unhindered even if you exit the manager UI.
agent-manager runs natively on macOS and Linux platforms, and supports Windows via WSL2.
Pros of agent-manager
- Unified tmux view for tracking Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Grok, and Pi sessions with live statuses
- Productivity-focused hotkeys for quick responses (`space`), thread forking (`f`), and pinned terminal shells (`T`)
- Built-in diff viewer (`ctrl+r`) that aggregates line comments into a single AI review prompt
- Ability to spawn AI sessions into isolated Git worktrees to safeguard main project branches
- Distributed as a single Go binary under an open-source Apache-2.0 license
Cons of agent-manager
- Terminal-based tmux interface presents a learning curve for developers accustomed to GUI IDEs
- Windows compatibility requires operating through WSL2 rather than a native Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell
Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI agents does agent-manager support?
agent-manager natively aggregates Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Grok, and Pi within a consolidated tmux environment complete with live status tracking.
What platforms are compatible with agent-manager?
agent-manager is distributed as a single Go binary that runs natively on macOS and Linux, as well as Windows environments operating through WSL2.
How does agent-manager handle code diffs and reviews?
Pressing `ctrl+r` opens whole-file diffs where developers can leave line comments. These inline notes are automatically aggregated into a single, structured review prompt sent directly back to the active AI agent.
Will my tmux sessions close if I quit agent-manager?
No, standard tmux sessions remain active in the background even after you exit the agent-manager user interface, allowing long-running tasks to continue uninterrupted.
What license is agent-manager released under?
agent-manager is an open-source project distributed under the Apache-2.0 license.
About WebMotion
WebMotion is a highly technical, open-source tool designed for browser-native video composition. It fundamentally shifts how programmatic video is created by eliminating the need for heavy server-side infrastructure like render farms, headless Chrome instances, or even FFmpeg. Instead, it leverages the DOM and the modern WebCodecs API to compose and encode MP4 videos directly within the user's browser. The core philosophy of WebMotion is deterministic rendering. Every single frame generated by the tool is a pure function of its frame index, meaning developers have absolute, frame-by-frame control over the output. This makes it an exceptionally powerful utility for developers and creators looking to programmatically generate data visualizations, generative art, or automated marketing videos using familiar web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) entirely client-side.
Pros of WebMotion
- Operates entirely in the browser, eliminating server costs and the need for complex backend rendering infrastructure.
- Utilizes modern WebCodecs for fast, efficient, and native MP4 encoding.
- Completely open-source, allowing developers to inspect, modify, and host the tool themselves.
Cons of WebMotion
- Requires a solid understanding of web development and programmatic rendering, making it inaccessible to non-technical users.
- Performance and rendering speed are heavily reliant on the user's local machine and browser capabilities rather than scalable cloud servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install FFmpeg or run a backend server to use WebMotion?
No. WebMotion is entirely browser-native. It uses the WebCodecs API to encode video directly in the DOM, so there is no need for FFmpeg, headless Chrome, or a backend render farm.
What does it mean that 'every frame is a pure function of the frame index'?
It means the rendering is deterministic. You write code that defines exactly what a frame should look like based solely on its sequence number (e.g., Frame 1, Frame 2), ensuring perfect, predictable, and repeatable animations.
