∴ rex

Rex is a terminal kanban for parallel AI coding-agent sessions. Two binaries: rex (CLI and TUI) and rex-daemon (PTY supervisor). You run many agent CLIs at once; Rex tracks state, transcripts, and input prompts.

Requires Go 1.26+ to build from source. Targets macOS and Linux.

Install

From a checkout:

./install.sh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
rex setup

Or:

make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
rex setup

Or without a clone:

go install github.com/tristanbietsch/rex/cmd/rex@latest
go install github.com/tristanbietsch/rex/cmd/rex-daemon@latest

Install both binaries. Put the install directory on PATH.

Use

rex daemon start
rex new "hello rex" --tool echo --model short --slug demo
rex ls
rex status

rex ls prints a session table. rex status prints one summary line. Run rex with no arguments for the board.

Go source wins when documentation disagrees with behavior.
