Ghostty Terminals Inspired
by Codex App's UX
Ghostex combines high-performance Ghostty terminals with
Chromium browser panes, VS Code editing, and polished session management to keep your agents productive and your Mac responsive.
The Agent Manager for Power Users
Built for long-running work. Sessions are persistent, automatically named, and resume exactly where you left off. You get intuitive tabs and splits, menu bar status indicators, and plenty more features, all designed to keep you in flow without sacrificing performance.
Split your terminals and use keyboard hotkeys to jump between them in the Agents view
Split terminals in Agents view, then jump between panes with familiar keyboard flow. Use Cmd+T, Cmd+D, and Cmd+Option+Arrows like Ghostty or Cmux, fully configurable.
Supports all of the popular Agent CLIs
Use Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, and more! Run them side by side with shared workspace context, session history, and controls.
Android and iOS
Connect live to your Ghostex agent CLI sessions from Android and iOS mobile apps. Download APKs from GitHub Releases, or join Discord for the iOS TestFlight build.
Embedded Chromium Browser
Use embedded Chromium with annotations, profiles, DevTools MCP, and agent context. Run /ghostex-browser-use so agents can control browser tabs without approval prompts!
Kanban board based on beads!
Capture ideas on a beads-backed Kanban board, then let an Orchestrator agent delegate work. Cross-agent orchestration lets Claude launch Codex agents and route tasks between them.
Rich Prompt Editor with Ctrl+G
Edit prompts with full hotkey support, image previews, and a real editor surface. No more uneditable "[Pasted 50+ lines]" text; press F1 to browse every command.
Previous Sessions Search
Fuzzy search in all your previous sessions accross agents by typing a few words from your prompts. Press enter to resume that session! Lots of filters available. Start it from the sidebar or run ghostex find / gx f to start it.
