axel-app

Axel is for anyone who wants the calm of a task list and their agents in war mode — without losing track of what's running, where, or why.

It pairs a native macOS app with a fast RUST CLI to orchestrate many AI agents across tmux panes, Ghostty based terminals, and git worktrees — with a user interface inspired by Things.

[!IMPORTANT] Axel is currently in beta and may have bugs. Contributions and bug reports are welcome.

What Axel Feels Like

• A clean, Things‑like inbox for tasks and priorities.
• A living map of your active agents, each anchored to a worktree and terminal.
• A system that literally makes “spin up another agent in a new git worktree” feel as cheap as “open a new tab.”

What Axel Does

Axel turns agent work into a first‑class workflow:

• Tasks with intent: queue, run, and complete agent tasks with status, priority, and context.
• Real terminals: manage live sessions (Claude, Codex, etc.) in tmux panes and Ghostty.
• Worktree‑first isolation: one agent, one branch — no more stepping on each other.
• Inbox & permissions: see agent requests in a single stream and approve quickly.
