Ghostex

Ghostex is an open-source native workspace for running AI coding agents, built entirely in Rust with the GPUI UI framework. Hosted on GitHub with about 1,400 stars and under active development in 2026, it positions itself as a fast, keyboard-friendly home for agent sessions, with desktop and mobile apps and an MIT license.

Overview

Ghostex is designed for developers who work with many agents at once — it supports more than 20 agents, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, Gemini, Groq and Cursor, inside one native application rather than a browser tab or Electron shell. Because it is fully Rust and GPUI based, it starts fast and stays responsive, and it embeds a native Ghostty terminal so shell work lives next to your agent sessions. You can summon it with a single hotkey, pick the model and effort level right from the chat box, and even hand a session from one agent to another mid-task when a different model is better suited to finish the job.

Key Features

• Native Rust and GPUI app — no Electron, fast and lightweight
• Workspace for 20+ coding agents in one place
• Swap agents on the fly, even mid-task, and choose model and effort per session
• Built-in native Ghostty terminal
• One-hotkey access so the workspace is always within reach
• Mobile companion apps alongside desktop
• Runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS

💳 Pricing

Ghostex is free and open source under the MIT license. You download and run it on your own machines; the only costs are the subscriptions or API usage of the third-party coding agents you connect to it.

Who Is It For

Developers who juggle several AI coding agents and want a single fast, native workspace to run, compare and hand off sessions, instead of scattering agents across terminals and browser windows.
