muxdeck

Your tmux sessions, from any browser.

muxdeck is a single Go binary that serves a session manager and a full terminal for the tmux server it runs next to. Every browser tab is a real tmux attach client — splits, scrollback, copy mode, and the status line all just work.

Everything tmux gives you, nothing it doesn't

Full terminal in the browser

xterm.js attached over WebSocket. Multiple viewers of one session behave exactly like multiple tmux attach clients — watch a deploy from your laptop and your phone at once.

One static binary

The frontend — xterm.js included — is embedded in the binary. The only runtime dependency is tmux itself. Linux and macOS, amd64 and arm64.

Installable PWA

Add it to the home screen on an iPad or phone. A touch key bar covers what software keyboards lack: esc, tab, arrows, and a sticky ctrl — so ctrl-b works everywhere.

Sessions that survive

Create, kill, rename, deep-link with /#name. Sessions live in the tmux server, not in muxdeck — restart muxdeck and everything is still running.

The actual UI

Session list on the left, live terminal on the right. What you see is the whole app — there is nothing else to configure.

Run it your way

The installer detects your platform, checks for tmux, and offers to set up a systemd or launchd service. Or grab a release binary and run it directly:

./muxdeckloopback, no auth — try it
./muxdeck -addr 0.0.0.0:8300LAN — access code auto-generated
./muxdeck -addr 0.0.0.0:8300 -token s3cretfixed token
./muxdeck -tls-cert cert.pem -tls-key key.pembuilt-in TLS, no proxy needed

A browser terminal is remote code execution by design, so auth is on by default: bind beyond loopback without a token and muxdeck prints access code: XK7M2P at startup. Opting out is explicit (-no-auth), never accidental.
