What happened
Thurbox is an open-source tool published on GitHub that lets users run multiple coding agents simultaneously inside a single terminal. Supported agents include Claude Code, Codex, opencode, aider, and Antigravity, along with any custom CLI a user defines. Each agent runs in its own persistent tmux session, and the project presents itself as a TUI and CLI for local AI agent orchestration. The repository is publicly accessible on GitHub, though licensing details are not specified in the available evidence.
Why it matters
Developers managing several AI coding agents currently must juggle separate terminal windows or context-switch manually. A tmux-based orchestration layer that keeps each agent isolated in a persistent session could reduce that friction and make side-by-side agent comparison more practical for teams evaluating which tools suit specific tasks.
What to watch
Adoption will likely depend on documentation quality, licensing clarity, and whether the tool handles session recovery reliably. Community traction is minimal so far, with only two points and no comments on the Hacker News submission.
