Overview
pixtuoid is a terminal app written in Rust that visualizes the runtime status of multiple AI coding Agents as a pixel-art virtual office. Each Agent session corresponds to a character and a desk in the office, letting you observe all Agents' work at a glance from a top-down perspective. ### The Problem It Solves When running multiple coding Agents simultaneously, developers often have to switch between terminal windows to check which Agent is stuck, which is waiting for permission, and which has finished. pixtuoid consolidates this into one view: characters type while working, raise a question mark when user input is needed, and doze off once done. ### Key Features - **Multi-Agent support**: Each Agent session gets its own desk; new floors are added automatically when the current one fills up. - **Status visualization**: Character animations (typing, raising a hand, sleeping, walking) reflect each Agent's real-time state. - **Tool-monitor glow**: Each desk's monitor changes color based on the tool in use (e.g., Edit is blue, Bash is orange, Read is cyan). - **Token metering**: Paper stacks on desks grow with Token usage—at 250K, 2M, and 16M. Hover to see exact numbers. - **Team colors**: Agents running in the same working directory wear the same color, making collaboration easy to spot. - **Agent tree panel**: Press Tab to view all Agents along with their CLI commands and current actions. - **Floating desktop window**: Run `pixtuoid floating` to display the office as a borderless, always-on-top window on your desktop. - **Ambient atmosphere**: Includes day/night cycles, weather changes, theme switching, and code-generated lofi background music. - **Image rendering support**: Terminals supporting kitty, iTerm2, or SIXEL show detailed cross-section views; others render a classic text-block look. ### Installation Install via Homebrew (Linux, macOS, or WSL2), npm, Cargo, prebuilt binaries, or Debian packages (.deb). ### Who It's For Developers running multiple AI coding Agents (such as CLI tools like Claude Code or Codex) who need a centralized status dashboard.
Key features
- Cross-section office view: terminals supporting kitty, iTerm2, or SIXEL show detailed pixel art; others render a classic text-block look.
- Multi-Agent desks: each Agent session gets its own desk, and new floors open automatically when one fills up.
- Office zones: the office includes functional areas such as cubicles, meeting lounges, and pantries.
- Character animations: characters type, raise a question mark when help is needed, doze off when done, and walk between desks.
- Team colors: Agents in the same working directory wear the same color, making collaboration easy to spot.
- Tool-monitor glow: monitors change color by tool—blue for Edit, orange for Bash, cyan for Read.
- Token metering: paper stacks on desks grow with Token usage at 250K, 2M, and 16M. Hover to see exact values.
- Agent tree panel: press Tab to list all Agents, including their running CLI commands and current status.
- Office pets: each floor has a cat or dog roaming between desks and sofas. Click to pet them and release pixel hearts.
- Ambient atmosphere: day/night cycles and weather changes outside the window; themes alter the office's appearance.
- Lofi background music: code-generated lofi tracks shift with time, weather, and activity. Control volume and mute via shortcuts.
- Floating desktop window: run pixtuoid floating to open a borderless, always-on-top window on your desktop.

- How do I install pixtuoid?AI-generated
- Install via Homebrew (`brew install pixtuoid`) or npm (`npm install -g pixtuoid`). Cargo, prebuilt binaries, and Debian packages (.deb) are also supported.
- How do I connect an AI Agent to pixtuoid?AI-generated
- Run pixtuoid and press s to connect an Agent CLI; pixtuoid configures it automatically. If issues arise, run `pixtuoid doctor` to diagnose. Then start the Agent in another terminal—the character appears in about a second.
- Which AI Agents does pixtuoid support?AI-generated
- No specific Agent names are listed, but topics mention claude-code and codex, and the docs note you can connect any agent CLI.
- How do I display pixtuoid on my desktop instead of in the terminal?AI-generated
- Run `pixtuoid floating` to display the office as a borderless, always-on-top window on your desktop.
