What muxd is
muxd is a free, open-source AI coding agent that runs in a terminal TUI. It helps read, write, and edit code, with chat assistance, a coding agent, and terminal access. muxd connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Grok/xAI, Google AI, Z.AI, Fireworks AI, DeepInfra, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible APIs. Its 41 built-in tools cover 21 categories, including files, bash, web search, HTTP, SMS, git, memory, and LSP code intelligence. Sessions are kept in local SQLite storage and can be resumed, branched, or searched. Each agent turn creates a git checkpoint for /undo and /redo. A hub coordinates daemon instances, proxies requests, serves a web dashboard, and manages workers. Permission modes are ask, accept-edits, and full-auto. muxd collects no telemetry or usage data, and provider requests use your own keys. Git and a provider API key are prerequisites.
Who it suits
muxd suits developers who want terminal-based coding assistance and control over model providers. It also fits users who need resumable local sessions, git checkpoints, and self-hosted or web access.

- 41 tools across 21 categories
- Sessions resume, branch, and search
- Git checkpoints support undo and redo
