Uxnan
Uxnan Desktop is an Agent Development Environment: a lightweight, terminal-centric app to orchestrate several CLI coding agents at once, each isolated in its own git worktree and terminal. It is not an IDE, but an orchestration, monitoring and change-review layer around the agents you already use.
- Run agents side by side, each in its own worktree and pseudoterminal
- Follow every agent's state and review its changes as diffs before you keep them
- Continue a session as a chat, or from your phone through the Uxnan bridge
- Renders through the system webview, so it stays light on memory
Uxnan is in alpha.

Usage
Uxnan is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running Uxnan on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Beware! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Uxnan AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
chmod +x ./*.AppImageThen double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Uxnan
If you want to restrict what Uxnan can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Uxnan
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Uxnan AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Uxnan and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Uxnan in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the Uxnan AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the Uxnan AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Thanks for shipping AppStream metainfo inside your AppImage. Please open a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/Uxnan if you have changed it and would like to see this page updated accordingly.
If you would like to see a donation link for the application here, please include one in the AppStream data.
