In their own words
muxterm
Muxterm is a free, self-hosted terminal multiplexer with a browser interface and a Go session daemon. Users can split panes, group them into named workspaces and switch workspaces from a bar. The daemon runs separately from the HTTP server, allowing shells to persist across server restarts, deployments and reboots. Server-side VT emulation retains a live screen snapshot that can restore full-screen applications after reconnecting. Its installable PWA supports desktop and mobile use, with service-worker offline support. For MCP-compatible agents, the server provides 25 tools across seven categories for managing workspaces, panes, terminals and other functions. Documented integrations include Claude Code, OpenCode and Amplifier; lifecycle reporting is available for Claude, Codex and Amplifier wrappers. Authentication uses HMAC tokens, with a localhost bypass for local use. A file-publishing tool can expose one local file at an unguessable public URL, with a 24-hour default expiry, a seven-day maximum and revocation for future reads. The project is MIT licensed and self-hosted as a single binary. Windows support is listed as coming soon.
