Important

This project was renamed from Mux to Xum after Mux.com raised a trademark concern. “Mux” is a common technical abbreviation of “multiplexer” and we do not expect confusion between the projects, but chose to rename ours rather than spend more time on the dispute.

Features

  • Isolated workspaces with central view on git divergence (docs)
    • Local: run directly in your project directory
    • Worktree: git worktrees on your local machine
    • SSH: remote execution on a server over SSH
  • Multi-model (sonnet-4-*, grok-*, gpt-5-*, opus-4-*)
    • Ollama supported for local LLMs (docs)
    • OpenRouter supported for long-tail of LLMs (docs)
  • VS Code Extension: Jump into Xum workspaces directly from VS Code (docs)
  • Supporting UI and keybinds for efficiently managing a suite of agents

Xum has a custom agent loop but much of the core UX is inspired by Claude Code. You'll find familiar features like Plan/Exec mode, vim inputs, /compact and new ones like opportunistic compaction and mode prompts.
