A terminal multiplexer for AI coding agents.

GridBash keeps agent sessions visible, lets you target prompts to selected panes, and avoids the window sprawl that comes with modern CLI-agent workflows.

Selected-pane input

Type into one pane, a chosen subset, or the whole grid without sending prompts where they do not belong.

Real terminal panes

Every pane is backed by a real Windows PTY, not a fake log viewer.

Agent profiles

Launch Codex, Claude, Gemini, Aider, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Cursor, Copilot, Git Bash, PowerShell, cmd, or custom commands.

Safer parallel work

Use `--worktrees` to open every pane in a repo-local git worktree, so agents can explore fixes in isolated checkouts.
