Run coding agents like processes.

Supervise them like jobs.

agtd turns coding agents into durable tasks with state, artifacts, and history. Run Claude Code, Codex or any TTY-based agent in parallel. Instead of babysitting terminal tabs, you supervise work.

curl -fsSL https://agtd.sh/install.sh | bash

macOS, Debian/Ubuntu and Arch. Installs agt and agtd to ~/.local/bin.

Sessions that need you come first, in agt ls, in the picker and in the switcher.

tmux multiplexes terminals. agtd supervises agents.

Developers are running several coding agents at once. Past the first one, things get messy. agtd runs each agent as a task inside a managed session: a working directory you choose, a dedicated PTY, retained terminal history and persistent artifacts.

Without a supervisor

Terminals everywhere
Scrolling logs
Lost artifacts
Agents waiting on you, unseen

What agtd manages that your terminal can't

Native terminal first

Ghostty, iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm: keep the terminal you chose. Open a tab and runagt attach fix-tests. Native scrollback, native search, native copy/paste. For free.

Attention, not logs

Sessions report when they are working, blocked or done. Know when an agent needs you without watching it, and follow it with agt events --follow --notify.

Durable sessions

Agents keep running after you disconnect. Sessions survive the daemon restarting, crashing or being upgraded, with a live handoff to the new binary.

What a session produced

Commits, staged and unstaged edits and new files since the session started. Review withagt diff, download a patch for git am.

Your devbox, from your laptop

Reach sessions over QUIC on a LAN, Tailscale or WireGuard, with pinned keys and no hosted service. Close the laptop; the agent continues. In preview.

Vendor-neutral

Claude Code, Codex, or any TTY-based agent. Configure them in config.toml and pick one per task.

Install

On macOS, Debian/Ubuntu or Arch (Omarchy included).

The script installs agt and agtd side by side in ~/.local/bin. Run it again at any time to upgrade: a running daemon hands its sessions to the new binary without stopping them. It never turns on remote access.

Install options and what the script does

shell

❯ curl -fsSL https://agtd.sh/install.sh | bash

Or run ./install.sh from a checkout, which builds that checkout. AGTD_PREFIXchanges the prefix.

Start your first task

Give it a name. agtd creates a session and starts your default agent in an attached PTY.

Detach with ctrl + \; the session keeps running. Switch to the previous or next session with ctrl + [ and ctrl + ].

agt

❯ agt new fix-tests
❯ agt attach fix-tests
❯ agt diff fix-tests --stat
❯ agt kill fix-tests
❯ agt rm fix-tests
