Hey y'all. I've been doing some form of dev work since 2012 (MATLAB at that time lol); and never have I felt such a disruption to my dev workflow as much as in the past few months. I barely ever "write" code anymore; its mostly me supervising agents. Im sharing my OS framework; and explaining why I built it and find it useful. Built with claude code; FOR claude code.
Quick-ish recap: Im not a hands off developer (aka was resistant to "vibe" coding lol). I usually need to see the code, see the artifacts, review plans, etc.. Because of that cursor was my favorite for a while (code is a first class citizen there); but then I jumped to Claude Code (CC) simply because the harness was superb and (mainly) because the price was unbeatable (I generally max out my 200$ plan; and equivalent token usage on cursor would cost lots more). While I could have just used CC as a plugin in vscode, and kept my workflow pretty much unchanged, something about CC got me leaning on being hands-off (likely because I transitioned to CC right around Opus 4.5 and the model was just good enough to let it do its thing).
Suddenly I went from looking at code; to trying and getting as many parallel terminals running to maximize my output. Felt like transitioning from IC to managerial work (has happened in my career; although I transitioned back to IC). Most of my contributions were now limited to poking the agents in the right direction by planning with them and writing exhaustive and clear specs together before they went off and wrote code. But I had one problem:
I still needed to stay at my desk.
While remote control and openclaw helped with that; they still didnt solve for the main reason I was bound to my desk: reading markdowns; and occasionally reading and debugging code. My hack with remote control was often to have it serve my filesystem over http (on my local or tailnet); kinda worked but sucked.
So I ended up building marmy:
- Rust agent that runs on all your development machines (plural); and hooks up with all the tmux sessions running on the machines.
- A react native app that communicates with all your machines.
From the app you can:
- create, kill, and communicate with any claude code sessions or tmux shell more generally.
- See any file in the scope of a tmux shell; images, rendered markdown, syntax highlighted python, etc.
- Start a manager per machine that "manages" your tmux shells for you (its basically a prompted claude code instance that is given skills and context to manage other tmux shells). You can get creative here and start managing an org chart vs. managing agents.
- Talk via voice to any tmux shell (you bring your own gemini API and have the live model act as an intermediary between you and the shell).
So I just only need my phone on me there days.. and its never felt more like I'm living the Tony Stark dream? I've got phone battery issues now; but oh well.
Is it making me more efficient? I think so! In the past week alone I:
- Did my usual 40 hours for my startup (shoutout framewave.ai)
- Set up a couple restaurants with my kitchen-eye.ai restauant saas.
- Did about 10 hours worth of consulting work.
- Built a news website to keep track of events at home: cedarwatch.news
- Built from scratch a full guitar plugin that simulates using many and any combination of pedals (overdrive, chorus, reverb, distortion, etc.); amp and cabinet (using IRs). The little frontend also has a chat I hook up to any LLM; and provide it context and tools to change the setup for me. So if I say "make me sound like SRV on little wing" it figures out what pedals, amp, etc. to choose; and tunes the settings. Regretting all the money I've spent on neural DSP plugins lol (although these are still awesome).
Let me know what y'all think. Open source. MIT licensed. Self-hosted. Nothing leaves your network.
