I made a Claude Code session manager for tmux
A developer created a Claude Code session manager for tmux that allows users to manage multiple Claude Code sessions within tmux panes or windows. The tool provides features like session creation, switching, and organization directly from the terminal.
Background
- **Claude Code** is an AI coding assistant from Anthropic that runs in the terminal, letting developers ask questions, write code, and manage projects via natural language conversations.
- **tmux** is a popular "terminal multiplexer" for Unix systems that lets users run multiple terminal sessions inside a single window, keep sessions alive after disconnecting, and organize workflows with split panes and tabs.
- The author built a custom tool that integrates Claude Code sessions with tmux, allowing developers to start, switch between, and manage multiple Claude Code conversations inside named tmux sessions — similar to how they'd manage multiple editor tabs or terminal windows.
- This matters because Claude Code sessions are stateless by default (each conversation is isolated), so a session manager helps developers juggle multiple ongoing AI-assisted tasks without losing context or cluttering their terminal.
