Gwae Is a macOS Terminal Multiplexer and AI Agent Orchestrator
Summary
Gwae is a lightweight terminal multiplexer and agent orchestrator developed and tested for macOS, aimed at users running several CLI coding agents at once. It uses an infinite-scroll layout so panes retain their width instead of shrinking as more panes are opened. The project provides a heads-up display for agent states, smart jumping to idle or failed panes, directory and agent selectors, pane movement and resizing, and drag-to-copy support with a remote-session fallback. Users can toggle macOS caffeinate, open an interactive cheat sheet, and run commands such as `gwae run` and `gwae doctor`. Installation is available through a shell script or Homebrew, while the README says Windows contributions are welcome and recommends a separate scrolling window manager for Linux. In the listed real-PTY benchmark, gwae reports median echo latency of 0.34 ms and median pane-spawn time of 0.48-0.52 ms, compared with higher values for herdr and tmux.
