Show HN: Corgi, a helpful {agent, terminal} multiplexer(corgi.computer)
Hey everyone,

Inspired by Herdr, I've built an agent multiplexer that I've been using as my daily driver for a few weeks now.

I think I improved on the concept in a few ways, focusing on the ergonomics I always wished I had:

I show you what the agents are up to, along with a running feed of their activity. There's also a simple shortcut (F1) to go to the next unread agent.

I use multiple accounts, so I've added unified launcher for Codex/Claude Code/Pi. Theres some careful ergonomics there: fast search and resume over sessions, inline usage tracking etc.

Many small quality of life improvements to the terminal experience: - Links can be copied with a click, so no need to drag-select over many lines - cmd+v just pastes images (even on SSH) - images have a thumbnail preview. - Built-in CPU/Memory/GPU usage tracking, broken down by workspace

I assume you have access to cheap inference (Luna/Haiku/etc). It just reuses the agents to organize things for you: what is this http link? what is this worktree about? what is each agent doing? It's small but it made my environment feel more cozy.

On a personal note, I've been on a frustrating sick leave for a while now. I created Corgi to challenge myself, and see if I can go back. The answer is more mixed than I had hoped, but I am happy with the result and thankful for the experience.

I hope you like it! a few friends & myself have been using it for a few weeks and it's been pretty nice. There's still a lot to improve and some rough edges, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you :)

Bless you dang, you keep the spirit of this website alive and fight back the always-encroaching cynicism of the world.

At this point any coder that forgot (or rather deliberately chose not to) to tell their agent

    'oh btw, add the light theme as well and maybe read the system's, if that's not such a bother of course'
isn't worth the time, and they probably didn't bother about the 'a' of accessibilty/ux in the first place anyway, neither is their tool no matter how famous it is or would become.

There's a built-in theme called "Animal Style" that adapts to your terminal's existing theme by picking up & extending its palette, and specifically tries to adapt to light themes as well :)

It works ~alright in light themes, but not as well considered as the default one yet which is why it's not the default.

Can you give it a try?
