Agent time is expensive

The hidden cost of AI coding is not just API spend. It's the time you lose when an agent is done, blocked, or waiting on you.

Time wasted

You kick off an agent, switch to something else, and lose the thread. Maybe you check Slack. Maybe you open another tab. Maybe you forget entirely. Meanwhile the agent already finished, hit an approval prompt, or got stuck waiting for input.

Instantly back to work

When that happens, back2vibing does more than ping you. It takes you back to the exact pane, window, or app so you can respond immediately and keep the work moving.

See which agent is waiting on you

The Session Dock gives you a live view of active sessions, pending approvals, and completed runs so you stop checking manually.

  • At a Glance

    See which agents are still running, which ones are blocked on you, and which ones already finished.

  • Quiet until it matters

    If you're typing, we stay out of the way. When something actually needs you, you still have a clear path back.

  • Exact context, one click

    Click any session in the dock to jump straight to its window. Set default apps or per-app overrides so the handoff lands exactly where you want.

Remote Agents, Local Focus

Running agents on a beefy remote Linux box? Back2Vibing bridges the gap, ensuring your completion signals travel back to your Mac.

  • Seamless SSH Tunneling

    Start with b2v ssh <host>. Back2vibing handles the tunnel and local focus handoff without the old manual install flow.

  • Native Remote Hooks

    Setup scripts automatically configure hooks for Claude, Gemini, and OpenCode on your remote machine. They just work.

  • Saved Host Visibility

    Save a host in the app when you want connection status, one-click setup reruns, and SSH config helpers alongside the CLI flow.

Exact context restore.
Not just another notification.

Notifications tell you something happened. back2vibing knows where the work started and takes you back there.

Tmux Superpowers

Restore the exact tmux window, session, pane, and running application. Hover over the session dock to peek into active panes without switching.

Exact Window Restoration

Whether you were in the terminal, VS Code, or a browser, back2vibing brings you back to the exact window you were using.

Designed for Your Ears

Notifications shouldn't be jarring. We built an audio engine that respects your music and your focus.

Relative Audio

Notification volume scales relative to your system volume. It's never too loud, never too quiet—just right for your current environment.

Audio Ducking

Google Maps style dimming. Your music smoothly fades out for the notification, then ramps back up. The vibe stays unbroken.

Full Control

Choose your sound. Mute temporarily. Disable completely. Customize the behavior to fit your workflow perfectly.

Play with Everyone

Run multiple agents simultaneously. back2vibing is the glue that holds your multi-agent workflow together.

Why this exists

Notifications tell you something happened. back2vibing takes you there.

If you run agents in the terminal, the expensive part is not launching them. It's getting back to the right place fast when they finish or need you.

1 No workflow migration

Keep Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Opencode, Codex, Cursor, your editor, and your worktrees. back2vibing fits around the workflow you already have.

2 Faster approvals

When an agent finishes a long task or hits an approval prompt, you land back in the right terminal or tmux pane immediately.

3 Built for parallel sessions

Run several agents at once without keeping a mental map of where each one lives or whether it is still waiting on you.

4 Quiet until you need it

Audio ducking, notifications, and dock behavior stay in the background until it is actually time to jump back in.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and how it integrates into your workflow.

Is this another AI code editor?
No. back2vibing is designed to work with your existing tools, not against them. It acts as an orchestration and experience layer that sits alongside editors like VS Code and Cursor, managing your environment and focus while your agents do the heavy lifting.
How does it know when my agent is done?
We hook into the signals your agent already exposes, then map them back to the right window, terminal, or tmux pane. The point is simple: less checking, faster response.
Is tmux really necessary?
No. back2vibing works with a normal terminal setup too. tmux just gives you the most precise session and pane restore if that is already how you work.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. back2vibing is a local-first application. Your context, code, and agent interactions stay on your machine. We only communicate with our servers for license validation and optional updates.
What platforms are supported?
Today it is optimized for macOS because the product relies on deep window-management and audio integration. That is what lets it restore context so precisely.
