Built for Windows + WSL
Keep WSL distros, PowerShell, Claude Code, and Codex visible in one workspace without tab juggling.
WSL + Claude Code + Codex + CJK/IME
Terminal IDE for Windows + WSL, AI agents, and CJK input.
Run Claude Code, Codex CLI, and CJK/IME-heavy terminal work side by side without broken panes, drifting composition windows, or tab juggling.

Problem
Windows terminal work has different constraints. Laymux treats them as core.
WSL context, long-running AI agents, and CJK input methods all stress normal terminal UIs. Laymux is designed around those constraints from the start.
Agent-aware terminals
See when Claude Code or Codex is working, idle, or finished, with completion events surfaced in the dashboard.
Stable CJK / IME input
A shadow cursor keeps Hangul, Japanese, and Chinese composition windows aligned during aggressive TUI redraws.
How it works
Keep terminals, agents, and workspace state in one focused surface.
Create a workspace from a terminal-first pane layout.
Sync CWD, git branch, ports, and notifications across panes.
Expose terminals, output, screenshots, and pane control through local REST + MCP.
Automation
Let agents operate the IDE, not just the shell.
Local LLM tools can open panes, run commands, read terminal output, take screenshots, and post notifications through a local allowlisted interface.

FAQ
Built around the terminal workflows normal IDE shells miss.
Who is Laymux for?
Developers who live in Windows + WSL and use terminal AI agents such as Claude Code or Codex CLI as part of daily coding.
Is it only a terminal emulator?
No. It is a Tauri desktop IDE with terminal panes, docks, workspace state, notifications, an lx CLI, REST automation, and MCP integration.
Why does IME support matter?
TUI apps often repaint aggressively, which can make CJK candidate windows drift or flicker. Laymux treats IME positioning as a core workflow.
Can agents control Laymux?
Yes. A local REST API and Streamable-HTTP MCP server expose tools for panes, terminals, screenshots, output search, and notifications.
