How is this different from sshing into a server and attaching to a tmux session? I don't see the benefits in switching over.

How is this different from sshing into a server and attaching to a tmux session? I don't see the benefits in switching over.
The primary benefit I've gotten over just a straight tmux session is that there is a collapsable left "tab" bar that shows you your different workspaces, which you can relabel, and below that is a list of the agents you are running (claude code, codex, etc) along with their status (idle, blocked, working).
So I will start a workspace for each different thing I'm working on, label it "Studio Shed Packet", "Teapot game", "Mux experiment". Then in each one I run a Claude Code. Then I can see the status of my Claude Codes just by glancing at the sidebar, rather than having to switch between screens to see what is waiting next.
I've been using it around a week so far.
You can rename the tabs in tmux but not sure if there's a way to do dynamic status (I suspect there is but it's probably non trivial to get it to play nice with the harness)
If you're willing to go down to a single boolean of "needs attention", tmux responds to the terminal bell.

Using mosh to do the same (which is helpful if you're on a laptop and you want to survive lid closes or ip roaming)
I think most of this can be done with tmux and some simple extras. An afternoon of vibing.
Yes but someone else has put in the effort so I don't have to. I could go to the supermarket and buy a bunch of groceries and make food, or I could buy food from a restaurant.
