## The Hook

Thurbox is a tmux-backed TUI that keeps multiple coding-agent CLIs alive in parallel — local orchestration without a cloud harness.

## What's Good

MIT (Thurbeen/thurbox). `thurbox` TUI + `thurbox-cli` headless; sessions persist in tmux so agents keep working when you detach. Repo picker, worktree mode, multi-agent panes. Docs/install at thurbox.thurbeen.eu (Show HN-shaped local harness).

## The Catch

Vs Atlas (pacifio agent source-control) and DeskcommCRM (self-hosted AI sales CRM): Thurbox is a local tmux/TUI orchestrator for coding-agent CLIs — not session+commit memory like Atlas, not a CRM. Early stars (~67★); needs tmux ≥3.2 (or psmux on Windows) plus at least one agent CLI you already pay for or self-host.

## Verdict

MIT local agent TUI. tmux parallel agents vs Atlas/DeskcommCRM; young but concrete.
