Corgi is a terminal multiplexer that shows what your AI agents are doing
Corgi is a terminal multiplexer that describes itself as built "for humans (and agents)". Its landing page, posted as a Show HN, installs with a one-line command that pipes a script from corgi.computer into bash.
The core idea is visibility into agents. The page promises "every agent, what it's doing, and who needs you". Status markers show whether an agent is working, needs you, has finished (or has unread output) or is idle. Pressing F1 catches you up. Ctrl-T opens a new-tab agent for jumping into work, new or old, and the page says you can use your existing accounts, all of them.
Several views sit on top of that. A "top for your tokens" view answers "Where did the tokens go?". Activity tracking lets you hover an agent to see what it did, and a changes view lists every file it touched in one scroll. Resource usage is shown per workspace, live. The page also lists worktree support, and says Corgi "organizes your workspaces for you".
As with tmux, agents and processes keep running in the background. For remote work the page highlights SSH: Cmd-V pastes an image even over SSH, and on a slow link Corgi "keeps pace". That image paste requires Ghostty Nightly, a footnote the page repeats. Other listed details: closed tabs can be undone with Ctrl-Shift-T, links can be copied, images can be seen, and both keyboard and mouse are supported.
For scripting, you can drive Corgi from any terminal, and running corgi --skill teaches your agents to use it. The page is a feature list only. It names no author or company, and gives no release date, version, pricing or licence.
Key facts
- Corgi calls itself a terminal multiplexer for humans (and agents) and installs with curl -fsSL https://corgi.computer/install.sh | bash.
- It shows every agent, what it is doing and which one needs you, with status markers for working, needs you, finished or unread, and idle or clear.
- Extras include a token usage view, hover activity tracking, a list of every file an agent touched, worktrees and live per-workspace resource usage.
- As with tmux, agents and processes keep running in the background; Cmd-V image paste over SSH requires Ghostty Nightly.
- No author, company, release date, pricing or licence is given.
Why it matters
Running several agents at once makes it hard to know which one is stuck, which has finished and which is waiting for you. Corgi's pitch is to put that status in the multiplexer itself, so one view answers "who needs you". It pairs this with the tmux habit of leaving processes running in the background, and adds a token view for the question of where tokens went.
Who it affects
People who run AI agents in a terminal, especially several at a time or over SSH. The SSH and image paste features are aimed at remote work, though the image paste needs Ghostty Nightly. Anyone who already uses tmux is the obvious comparison, since the page itself leans on that comparison.
How to use it
Install with the one-line command from the page: curl -fsSL https://corgi.computer/install.sh | bash, then run corgi. Inside, F1 catches you up, Ctrl-T jumps into work, new or old, and Ctrl-Shift-T undoes a closed tab. Corgi can be driven from any terminal, and corgi --skill teaches your agents to use it. The page says existing accounts work, all of them. No pricing is given.
How solid is it
This is a first-party landing page, so everything here is the project's own description. The page offers no benchmarks, user numbers or independent verification. It does not say which agents are supported or how agent status is detected, and it states no licence or open-source status.
Risks and caveats
The install command pipes a remote script straight into bash, so read install.sh before running it. The page names no author, company or maintainer, and gives no version or release date. Image paste over SSH requires Ghostty Nightly, a pre-release build. Supported operating systems are not listed beyond the mention of Cmd-V and Ghostty Nightly.
“Every agent, what it's doing, and who needs you.”
