Introduction

Gridmux is a terminal command center for the desktop. It multiplexes shells into resizable panels, groups them into workspaces that survive a restart, and turns the commands you run often into named aliases.

What Gridmux is

Section titled “What Gridmux is”
  • Shell multiplexing — run several shells side by side in one window (PowerShell, CMD, PowerShell 7, Git Bash, WSL on Windows; zsh and bash on macOS; bash, zsh, sh on Linux), split into resizable panels.
  • Persistent workspaces — organize terminals into workspaces; your layout, panels, and working directories come back after a restart.
  • Aliases & automation — save commands as named aliases with namespaces, variables, and groups.

The Extended Subscription tier adds cross-device sync and remote control (drive your desktop from the Android client).

What Gridmux is not

Section titled “What Gridmux is not”

Gridmux is not a code editor and does not replace your IDE. It is the layer around your shells — terminals, workspaces, and automation — and it runs alongside the editor you already use (VS Code, Neovim, or whatever you prefer).
