tmux

tmux is an open-source terminal multiplexer that creates, accesses, and controls multiple terminals from a single screen. A session can be detached while its terminals continue running in the background, then reattached later, allowing terminal-based processes such as coding agents to survive disconnection. It runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS, and Solaris, and is built from source with dependencies including libevent and ncurses.
