## Works with

What dmux runs, and what can run dmux. "With your existing login" means the wrapped tool's subscription is reused, no second bill.

### Runs

- [Claude Code](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/claude-code) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Anthropic's terminal agent. Reads the codebase, edits files and runs commands, with a VS Code and JetBrains extension and a web surface on the same engine. Launches your installed CLI in a tmux pane and resumes the conversation when the pane is recreated.
- [Codex CLI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/codex-cli) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): OpenAI's open source terminal agent. Signs in with a ChatGPT account and shares the plan's usage window, or bills an API key at token prices.
- [OpenCode](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/opencode) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Open source terminal coding agent from Anomaly, with a desktop app in beta and a VS Code extension. Works with any provider through your own keys, plus the hosted Zen and Go plans.
- [Cline](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/cline) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Open source agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the terminal. Bring your own key for any provider, local models included, with an MCP marketplace and plan-then-act modes. Runs the Cline CLI.
- [Gemini CLI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/gemini-cli) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Google's open source terminal agent for Gemini models. Since 18 June 2026 it only serves paid Gemini API keys and Vertex AI, Google points individuals to Antigravity CLI.
- [Amp](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/amp) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Amp Frontier Corporation's terminal agent. Low, medium, high and ultra modes pick the model per task, subagents run in parallel, orbs run threads on remote machines.
- [Pi](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/pi) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Minimal terminal coding harness from Mario Zechner, now maintained by Earendil. Four built in tools, tree structured sessions, and TypeScript extensions for everything else.
- [Cursor](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/cursor) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): The VS Code fork that popularised AI-native editing. Cursor 3 replaced Composer with an Agents window and Cursor Router picks models by cost, balance or intelligence. Runs the Cursor CLI agent with your Cursor account.
- [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/copilot-cli) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): GitHub's terminal agent on the Copilot subscription. Parallel subagents through /fleet, cloud sandboxes, worktrees and remote control from mobile. Runs the Copilot CLI.
- [Grok Build](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/grok-build) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): xAI's terminal coding agent, a fullscreen TUI in Rust that edits files, runs commands and spawns subagents. Signs in with a grok.com account or an API key, headless or over ACP.

## Models

- **Providers**: Vendor models, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Meta, Moonshot, Alibaba, Zhipu, MiniMax, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, inherited from the tools it runs
- **Bring your own key**: BYOK
- **Local models**: No
- **Signs in with**: ChatGPT, SuperGrok

The agents keep their own logins. dmux itself takes an optional inference provider for branch naming, commit messages and pane summaries, with an API key, a custom OpenAI compatible endpoint, a Codex login on a ChatGPT plan or a Grok Build login on a SuperGrok plan.

## Features

- **Git worktrees**: One isolated checkout per task
- **Parallel agents**: Several agents running at once
- **Hooks**: Run your own commands at lifecycle points
