Ghostex is an all-in-one native agents workspace: agent chats, a code editor, and a browser for every agent CLI and subscription you have, in one fast native window built with Rust and GPUI.
Features:
- A real chat for every agent — thinking, tool calls, and file edits fold into tidy cards, diffs are readable, images are clickable, and prompts queue while the agent works. It is still the agent's own CLI underneath, and the raw terminal is one hotkey away.
- Coordinators that run the work — tell a coordinator what needs doing and it hands each piece to a thread it starts, briefs, and keeps track of, in its own Git worktree when threads should run in parallel.
- Multiple Claude and Codex accounts with automatic failover when limits are hit.
- Remote access to your machines via phone pairing or Tailscale.
- Optional plugins for Linear, Jira, GitHub, Sentry, and more.
