About the product

What is it?

If you keep several tmux sessions open — servers, logs, long-running agents — the only way to know what is happening in them is to attach to each in turn. MTW Tmux gives you one window over all of it: every session with its windows and panes, what command is running, since when, and whether it has gone idle. You can send commands, see a live preview of the content, or attach in Terminal with one click. It reads state through tmux's control mode rather than by polling, so changes show up when they happen instead of at the next check. If control mode is unavailable it falls back to polling and reconnects on its own. You can define rules that fire on an event: a notification when a process ends, a command sent automatically, a script run. Each with a cooldown and a log, so you do not end up with a hundred notifications. It also ships an MCP server so Claude Code can read your session state. Six verbs, all read-only — it cannot kill, create or send keys anywhere. It works with the app closed.

The challenge

Problem solved

tmux tells you nothing until you attach. With six sessions open, you find out one died two hours ago when you finally get to it. And `tmux ls` gives you a list of names, not what is actually running inside.
