Bohay

Bohay is a terminal application that brings all your AI coding agents into one interface. If you're running Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, Aider, or any of the other AI assistants that have taken over developer workflows, Bohay gives you a single place to monitor status, manage tasks, browse files, and handle git operations without bouncing between windows. The platform supports a wide range of agents including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, opencode, Cursor, Pi, Kimi, Amp, Grok, Qwen, Gemini, Aider, and Droid, with session resumption and precise event reporting available for select agents in that list. The goal is to make managing multiple AI coding assistants feel like running one coherent system rather than juggling a dozen disconnected terminals.

The core problem it addresses is context fragmentation. Modern AI-assisted development often means multiple agents working on different parts of a codebase, each in its own terminal or window. Keeping track of which agent is waiting for input, which one finished its task, and what files changed becomes overhead that slows you down. You lose time switching between windows, remembering what each agent was doing, and trying to coordinate their work manually. Bohay consolidates that into one view with real-time status indicators that distinguish between waiting, working, finished, and resting states. Optional audio notifications let you know when agents complete tasks or need input, so you can focus elsewhere without constantly checking back. The status monitoring alone can save significant context-switching time in a typical development session.

Session persistence is one of the features that sets it apart from just running multiple terminals. Close your terminal and your sessions survive. Panes, tabs, and layouts reload exactly where you left off, and agents pick up their chat history automatically. That matters when you're mid-task on a long-running refactor and need to shut down for the day, or when your machine restarts unexpectedly. When you come back, everything is waiting for you in the same state, not starting fresh with lost context. You don't have to re-explain what you were working on to each agent or recreate the setup you had before. This persistence extends to the full interface layout, so your carefully arranged panes and tabs survive across sessions.

For teams using multiple agents in parallel, the orchestration system is where Bohay shines. A task board called orch lets you define dependencies between tasks, so you can set up a sequence where agent A does the refactor, then agent B writes the tests, then agent C updates the documentation. The platform spins up isolated git worktrees for each agent so they don't step on each other's work when editing files. Path leases block overlapping file edits, preventing conflicts before they happen. Quality gates require test commands to pass before a task counts as complete, adding a verification layer to agent output so you catch problems early. A dedicated merge worktree protects your primary checkout from agent commits until you're ready to integrate, giving you control over what lands in your main branch. This orchestration layer turns parallel AI assistance from a coordination headache into a structured workflow.

File management is built in with a sidebar tree that shows git status for every file and a fast viewer that updates live as agents edit. You can browse commits, branches, pull requests, and issues without leaving the interface, and create or merge PRs directly. The integrated editor support connects to vim, nano, or whatever you've set in your EDITOR environment variable, so you can jump from viewing a file to editing it in your preferred tool. For remote work, Bohay can drive sessions on machines over SSH without needing port forwarding, making it practical for teams with remote dev environments or cloud-based development setups.

On macOS, an optional notch panel called Bohay-Notch mirrors agent status to the MacBook's notch display and gives you quick approval access from the menu bar. It requires macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon and installs via Homebrew with a separate cask command. It's a small touch, but useful if you want to keep tabs on agent progress while working in another app like a browser or documentation without switching back to the terminal constantly. When an agent needs approval or finishes a task, you can see it immediately in the notch without interrupting your current work.

Bohay is open source under AGPL-3.0, so there's no paid tier or freemium model. You install via curl from the website, Homebrew tap, or Cargo if you prefer building from source. The code lives on GitHub and the community is growing as more developers adopt multi-agent workflows. The tradeoff is that this is a terminal-native tool. If you prefer GUIs or aren't comfortable in the command line, the learning curve may feel steep. But for developers already living in the terminal who want to wrangle multiple AI agents without losing track of state, Bohay pulls all the threads together in one coherent interface that makes parallel agent work manageable rather than chaotic.
