Ask HN: Claude multisession

I use a tiling window manager to manage each task (/workflow/issue/ticket) on a separate (visual) workspace with its own isolated container/git worktree that is bound to it.

I name my workspaces to match the task, so it's easy to find all terminal sessions/apps related to one task; then I only have to be able to find a session/app within the task. And i3wm supports tabs, the tab title automatically set by most AI agents and apps to be something helpful, so it's trivial to find.

Thought this is not sth even AI specific, it's not really AI specific, it is just super useful for multi-tasking in general way beyond coding tasks as well. I first started automating this flow 6-7-ish years ago as i3-env: https://github.com/kantord/i3-env thought since I tried to rewrite that a couple times because debugging bash scripts was not so much fun; I'm kinda settling on a well-made and portable system now, though it's not well documented yet.

I reckon a terminal multiplexer is the way to go. Just like what most people are suggesting.

Just like a lot of people, I have built my own solution.

I built on top of tmux to make a claude multiplexer for projects. Its not restricted to claude, any cli will work. https://github.com/Lockyc/agentmux

I then built a config defined terminal using libghostty to run agentmux across multiple projects. Its not restricted to running agentmux, its just config defined terminal tabs. https://github.com/Lockyc/warden

Start up claude with "claude agents" instead of "claude"

This way you can start and manage multiple sessions from the terminal easily. Can jump into individual session, or peek into them to see progress, will get alerted when a session needs your attention, etc.

u can try these 2: - Solo (SoloTerm) - daily driver on multiple TUI and a GUI to manage. Personally really liked it - Paseo - also support multiple session (but its not native Claude CLI) more built in using its own framework and GUI. Shines when it comes to remote sessions as your phone can connect to multiple host instances

I built myself a little tui that lists all my projects and moves claude code sessions to the foreground/background:

(The $ estimates in that screenshott are wildly incorrect! haha)

I am using iTerm2 with multiple tabs. Sometimes I put different projects on different spaces on macOS. The trick seems to have a special place of them in my head.

But I do feel there must be a better way.

I personally use the herdr tool and recommend it.

https://herdr.dev/

I use syns.dev for this. It syncs the md files between agents so they can work in parallel

Use Nimbalyst (I work on it). Multi-sessions, visual editing, open-source

tmux + https://github.com/pjlsergeant/byre for sandboxing and config

it's basic, but `/rename` helps me differentiate my terminal windows at a glance

Herdr gets the job solved for me.

Use one of: tmux, orca, herdr
