Working with AI coding agents means juggling terminal windows — one waits for permission while you watch another think, and a third finished ten minutes ago without you noticing. bohay puts them all in one place.
- See every agent at once. One sidebar shows what each agent is doing —
blocked · working · done · idle — across every project, and
Ctrl+Space .jumps straight to whichever one is waiting on you. Working needs on-screen proof, so a launching CLI or your own typing never reads as busy. - Never lose a session. Close the terminal and nothing stops. Run
bohayagain and every pane, tab, and layout is back, with each agent's own conversation resumed automatically — no flags to remember. Fork a session into a new pane to try a second approach without giving up the first. - Read the files your agents touch. A file tree tinted by git status, and a
fast built-in viewer that marks what changed against your last commit. Open
anything in vim, nano, or your
$EDITORwithout leaving the terminal. - Run a team of agents safely. A task board gives each worker its own git worktree and leases on the files it will touch, then merges finished branches through a quality gate.
- Git without leaving the terminal. Commits, branches, PRs, and issues in a built-in dashboard, with worktrees as first-class workspaces.
- Work from anywhere. Attach to a session over plain SSH — only the cells that changed cross the wire — and the layout adapts down to a phone screen.
- Scriptable and extensible. Every action in the UI is also a CLI command over a local socket, and modules in any language plug in through a small TOML manifest.
- Make it yours. 15 themes, fully remappable keys, movable sidebar docks, and a UI in 8 languages.

and start your agents — bohay recognizes them automatically.

cargo build # pure Rust, no C toolchain
cargo test # unit + off-screen render tests (no tty needed)
cargo run -- --local # client + server in one processA headless server owns the panes and renders frames into an off-screen buffer;
a thin client blits them to your terminal; state is pure, driven by one event
loop. Debug builds use ~/.bohay-dev/, so hacking never touches your real session.
