Desktop terminal multiplexer
Gridmux splits your shells into resizable panels, groups them into workspaces that survive a restart, and turns the commands you run most into named aliases. Not a code editor — it runs alongside the one you already use.
Overview
A GUI terminal multiplexer, persistent workspaces, cross-platform shell support, and alias-based automation — assembled into one tool instead of stitched together by hand, and tied to no particular editor. Each part stands on its own; together they're a single command center for your terminal.
Positioning
Gridmux doesn't open files for editing and doesn't replace your IDE. It's the layer around your shells — terminals, workspaces, automation. Keep whatever editor you already use; Gridmux runs the terminal side and stays out of the way.
Capabilities
Group terminals into workspaces — a backend server, a frontend dev server, a database shell, logs tailing — all side by side. Close the app and reopen it: panels, layout, and working directories come back exactly as you left them.
Run PowerShell, CMD, Git Bash, WSL, bash, and zsh side by side in one window. Split into resizable panels, with multiple terminals per workspace.
Save commands as named aliases — with namespaces, variables, and groups. Run a multi-step setup by name instead of retyping it every time.
Sync your workspaces and configuration across your machines, so your setup follows you from one device to the next. Part of the Extended Subscription tier.
Gridmux Remote · Android
Gridmux Remote isn't a stripped-down mobile mode — it's full control of your desktop from your Android phone, over your own network. Open and switch workspaces, type into terminals and watch live output stream, run aliases, apply templates, edit notes, and use the AI Agent. Pair once by scanning a QR code; the connection is secured with a self-signed certificate and per-request tokens. Part of the Extended Subscription tier.
Community
Get help, share feedback, report issues, and connect with other Gridmux users. The Discord community is the fastest place to get support and stay updated with new features, releases, and development progress.
Pricing
The Base tier is free and covers everyday terminal work: multiple workspaces, shell multiplexing, local Git, custom shortcuts, themes, and a bring-your-own-key AI agent. Extended adds aliases, local templates, and Git remote (push / pull / clone), and raises the limits — more workspaces, unlimited terminals per workspace. The Subscription tier adds cross-device sync, remote control, team templates, and shared notes.
