Once you run more than one agent — Claude Code in one window, Codex in another, a third waiting on a question you never saw — the bottleneck stops being the agents and becomes you, alt-tabbing between panes. Luvus is a terminal UI that puts them all on one screen.

Install and run

  curl -fsSL https://luvus.dev/install.sh | sh
# or
brew install RizRiyz/luvus/luvus
  
  cd ~/projects/my-app
luvus
  

Agents it drives

Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, opencode, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Amp, Droid, Grok, Kimi, Qwen, Pi — and Kiro. It doesn’t replace them; it launches the CLI you already use and keeps the session in a pane.

What it actually buys you

ProblemWhat Luvus does
An agent stalled on a prompt and you didn’t noticeStatus per pane — working, blocked, idle
No idea what a session costToken and cost tracking per project
Terminal closed, context goneSessions resume on restart
Want to try a second approachFork a session into a new pane, history intact
Agents needing to hand work overMessage another pane with =
Two agents editing the same filesIsolated worktrees and path leases

The keys worth knowing

Review and git in place

Diffs are reviewed inside Luvus: leave notes on the change and send them straight back to the running agent, instead of pasting file paths into a chat. Commits, branches, PRs, and issues go through the same window — it leans on git and the gh CLI, so have both installed.

Working remotely

Sessions attach over SSH with little bandwidth, which means a long-running agent can live on a desktop or server and you can check on it from a laptop — or from a terminal app on a phone.

When it’s overkill

One agent, one repo, one task at a time — a plain terminal is fine. Luvus starts to pay off at two or three concurrent agents, and clearly pays off when tasks have dependencies and need to stay out of each other’s files.
