## panex vs tmux
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
tmux is a vastly more powerful and mature tool. panex solves a narrower problem with less friction.
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
**tmux** is a terminal multiplexer — it manages persistent shell sessions with arbitrary layouts, remote detach/reattach, scripting, plugins, and deep customization. It's industry-standard for remote work, server administration, and complex terminal workflows. Decades of development, massive community, battle-tested everywhere.
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
**panex** is a process runner — it runs N commands in parallel with a built-in UI for monitoring and managing them. No config files, no session concepts, no learning curve.
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
### Where tmux wins
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
| Capability | tmux | panex |
|
|
119
|
+
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
120
|
+
| **Session persistence** | Detach/reattach across disconnections, reboots (with tmux-resurrect) | Sessions die when you quit |
|
|
121
|
+
| **Remote work (SSH)** | Start on server, detach, reconnect later — processes survive | Local only |
|
|
122
|
+
| **Window/pane layouts** | Unlimited windows, arbitrary splits, zoom, resize, rearrange | Fixed split: process list + output |
|
|
123
|
+
| **Scripting & automation** | tmuxinator, teamocil, tmuxp — define complex workspaces in YAML | CLI args only |
|
|
124
|
+
| **Plugin ecosystem** | TPM with dozens of plugins (resurrect, yank, powerline, etc.) | No plugins |
|
|
125
|
+
| **Customization** | Hundreds of options in `.tmux.conf` — keys, status bar, hooks, themes | CLI flags only |
|
|
126
|
+
| **Copy mode** | Vi/emacs navigation, search with `/`, jump through history | Basic visual select (`v`/`V`) |
|
|
127
|
+
| **Shared sessions** | Multiple users attach to the same session (pair programming) | Single-user only |
|
|
128
|
+
| **Maturity** | Decades old, massive community, endless documentation | New, small user base |

|
+
| Capability | panex | tmux |
|
|
133
|
+
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
134
|
+
| **Zero config** | `panex "cmd1" "cmd2"` — done | Need tmuxinator/scripts for multi-process startup |
|
|
135
|
+
| **Process lifecycle** | `r` restart, `x` kill, `A` restart all — from the UI | Process dies? Navigate to pane, retype command |
|
|
136
|
+
| **Process status** | Built-in list showing running/exited/crashed with exit codes | No process awareness — just shell panes |
|
|
137
|
+
| **Learning curve** | `?` shows help, mouse works, usable immediately | Steep — prefix keys, no on-screen hints, needs cheat sheets |
|
|
138
|
+
| **Layout** | Automatic — all processes shown immediately | Manual splits, or write a config/script |
|
|
139
|
+
| **npm install** | `npx panex "cmd1" "cmd2"` | Not applicable — system package |
|
|

|
|

|

### When to use which
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
**Use tmux if you need:** remote work, session persistence, complex layouts, shared sessions, deep customization, or long-running server processes.
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
**Use panex if you need:** run a handful of dev commands in parallel (API + frontend + worker), see their status, restart them easily, and not think about configuration. It's the difference between a Swiss Army knife and a purpose-built tool.
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
They're not mutually exclusive — you can run panex inside a tmux session.
