About

wmux keeps a console session alive after its window closes. Start a session, detach with Ctrl-B d, close the terminal, and reattach later with the shell and everything running in it intact.

It is deliberately scoped to session persistence alone: no panes, no splits, no status bar. Windows Terminal already provides tabs, splits, and search, so wmux does the one thing Windows lacks and leaves the rest to your terminal.

Built directly on ConPTY. A detached server process owns the pseudoconsole and holds no console of its own, so the close event sent to the window that started it never reaches the session. Scripts can also drive a session without a terminal at all.

Security

No known CVEs for wmux.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
