Xum (formerly Mux) is an open-source desktop application for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own isolated workspace (local, git worktree, or SSH remote). It is LLM provider-agnostic with multi-model support, integrates with VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Neovim, and JetBrains via ACP, and offers a central UI for managing agent suites with rich markdown output.

Use cases

• run multiple coding agents in parallel on isolated git worktrees
• manage a suite of AI coding agents from one desktop UI
• run long-running agent refactors in the background and resume after restarts
• compare several model answers to the same coding task with Best of N
• connect coding agents to editors like VS Code, Zed, Neovim, or JetBrains via ACP
• use local LLMs with Ollama for offline coding assistance
• review agent-generated code changes with integrated code review
• execute agents on a remote server over SSH

When to choose

• you want to parallelize AI coding work across isolated workspaces with git divergence visibility
• you need provider-agnostic multi-model support including local models via Ollama
• you prefer a desktop GUI with keyboard-driven agent management over a single terminal agent
• you want editor integration (VS Code, Zed, Neovim, JetBrains) for the last mile of agent tasks
• you run agents on remote servers and need SSH-based workspaces

When to avoid

• you only need a simple single-agent CLI like Claude Code without workspace management
• you require full Windows support - it is still in alpha
• you need a fully managed commercial product with SLA rather than an AGPL-3.0 open-source tool
• your workflow does not involve git or coding tasks
