peky
v0.0.39
Published
Tmux layout manager with YAML based configuration.
Readme
All your terminal AI agents, just one app.
Peky puts all your AI Agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI, pi, opencode e.g. into a single app to keep things organized.
Why?
Running multiple agents on different projects at the same time takes real organization and a different approach to how we do agentic coding.
I built peky to solve my own problems with juggling too many windows and wasting time on setup and rebuilding the same environment every time. It lets you build your own reusable window layouts and better-organized projects.
Features
- 🧠 AI agent orchestration - Run Codex/Claude/agents side by side with quick replies, slash commands, and broadcast
- 🗂️ Multi-project dashboard - See every project/session in one TUI without switching windows
- 🖱️ Mouse support - Create, Select, resize and drag panes.
- 🎯 Zero config - Just run
pekyin any directory - 🧭 Persistent native daemon - Sessions keep running after the UI exits
- 📜 Scrollback + copy mode - Navigate output and yank from native panes
- ⌘ Command palette - Quick actions, including renaming sessions/panes
- 🧠 Native live previews - Full TUI support (vim/htop) with live panes
- 📁 Project-local config - Commit

Configuration (quick look)
Define layouts in YAML, share them with your team via git, and get consistent environments everywhere. Sessions are owned by a native daemon so they keep running after the UI exits.
Project-local config lives in .peky.yml, and global config lives in ~/.config/peky/config.yml.
See the full schema, built-in layouts, and variable expansion in docs/configuration.md.
session: my-project
layout:
panes:
- title: editor
cmd: "${EDITOR:-}"
- title: server
cmd: "npm run dev"
split: horizontalDashboard
The dashboard shows projects, sessions, live previews, and an always-visible action line.
Default typing goes to the selected pane; click the action line for / slash commands, @ file picker, and structured actions. Use ctrl+k to toggle RAW (pure terminal).
See docs/dashboard.md for keybindings, input routing, and dashboard configuration.
CLI
See docs/cli.md for the full command list and examples.
Testing
See docs/testing.md for the full test matrix and CI notes.
For heavy concurrency/regression coverage, run scripts/cli-stress.sh locally.
For profiling + benchmarks, see docs/performance.md.
Release
See RELEASE-DOCS.md for the full release checklist (tests, tag, GoReleaser, npm publish).
Windows
npm packages are currently published for macOS and Linux.
Windows users should install from the GitHub release or build with Go.
