VisitRMUX vs Terminalz
What both publish
| Fact | RMUX | Terminalz |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Install options include package managers, prebuilt installers, and Cargo; the docs say quick installers verify SHA256. | The web control plane is distributed as a Docker Compose image, and the native agent is offered through Homebrew or GitHub Releases. |
| Integrations | The project documents a ratatui integration widget and a Claude Code teammate mode that runs Claude inside a local RMUX workspace. | The project documents integration with Herdr, tmux, Docker, Google OAuth, and Tailscale or WireGuard networks. |
| License | RMUX is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache License 2.0. | The repository provides the software under the MIT License, whose text grants use without charge. |
| Purpose | RMUX is a local terminal multiplexer for persistent, scriptable terminal sessions and terminal automation. | Terminalz streams terminals from multiple machines to one web browser. |
| Security | During Web Share, shells and PTYs stay on the local daemon while the browser decrypts encrypted terminal updates locally; tunnels carry encrypted frames. | Machine tokens are shown once and stored hashed in SQLite, and terminal output is not persisted or sent to observability services. |
| Self-hosting | The Web Share frontend is open source and can be built and served from a user's own domain. | The README instructs users to run the web control plane themselves using Docker Compose. |

Pick RMUX if…
RMUX suits developers who want persistent local terminal sessions or programmatic control through an SDK. Its browser sharing and access roles may also suit people who need to share a pane or session with others.
Pick Terminalz if…
Terminalz suits people who want to access terminals from multiple machines through a browser and work with Herdr or tmux sessions. It requires self-hosting the web control plane, and its mobile client requires an Xcode build.
