What is rimz?

RimZ is a dashboard that helps a person manage many AI coding agents working at the same time inside a terminal. It runs on top of two existing terminal tools called tmux and Zellij, which let a person split a terminal window into several panes, and RimZ adds a sidebar on top of that setup showing the live status of every agent: what it is working on, how healthy its context is, and how much it is currently costing. The tool is built as a single lightweight program that attaches to the terminal setup someone already uses, so their existing keyboard shortcuts and terminal apps keep working unchanged, and the official web, desktop, and mobile apps for each AI provider also continue to work as before. RimZ simply adds an extra layer of visibility and control around agents that are already running. Key features described in the README include a dashboard that shows each agent's task, model, and cost in real time, a sidebar that highlights which agent needs the user's attention, the ability to open several agents side by side in separate work areas, and support for pairing different AI models together as a team so that different models can specialize in different parts of a task. The tool also lets a user send chat like messages to individual agents by name, run agents in scripts or continuous integration pipelines with proper exit codes, and schedule recurring automated runs on a timer. If an agent hits a rate limit, RimZ can automatically resume the work once the limit resets. A user can also answer an agent's question from their phone through the official mobile apps for supported providers, and the response is delivered back into the same terminal session. The project describes itself as beta software: the everyday features work reliably, but commands, settings, and output formats may still change between releases, so it is described as suitable for personal daily use today but not yet ready for production systems that need a fully stable interface. It is written in Rust and is licensed under MIT.
