bmux launches tmux-style browser for agents
bmux is a free, open-source Chromium browser with split panes, persistent sessions, isolated profiles, and keyboard-driven workflows. Its JSON CLI lets agents navigate, inspect, click, type, and capture screenshots in background panes without disrupting the user. [GitHub](https://github.com/tonisives/bmux)
bmux’s strongest idea is treating browser state as a durable, observable workspace rather than a pile of disposable tabs.
- –Detachable sessions let agents keep pages and form state running while developers work elsewhere.
- –Explicit pane IDs and focus-preserving CLI commands offer a practical bridge between visible browsing and automation.
- –Isolated profiles make parallel logins manageable, though they are not security boundaries for local agents or plugins.
- –The early-preview status, unsigned builds, and Electron limitations may slow adoption among teams needing production reliability.
- –Its best audience is keyboard-centric developers running parallel research and browser automation, not casual Chrome users.
