Introduction to Plexus

Plexus is a desktop application that provides a unified observability platform for your AI coding agents. Built with Electron, it runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Note: This project is in early development (v0.1.0).

What is Plexus?

As AI coding assistants become essential tools in the developer workflow, managing multiple agents across different terminals and IDEs becomes increasingly challenging. Plexus addresses this by:

1. Aggregating Status - All your agents' statuses in one view
2. Tracking Costs - Real-time token usage and API cost monitoring
3. Preserving History - Searchable conversation archives
4. Focus Terminal - Jump directly to agents that need attention

Supported Agents

How It Works

Plexus uses lightweight hook scripts that integrate with each AI agent's communication layer:

Hook Installation

When you first launch Plexus, it automatically installs hook scripts for each supported agent:

• Claude Code: Adds hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json
• Cursor: Configures Cursor's hook system
• Gemini CLI: Sets up Gemini CLI integration

These hooks stream events to Plexus in real-time via a local Unix socket.

You can manage hooks in Settings.

Privacy & Security

Plexus is local-first:

• All data is stored locally on your machine
• No cloud services or accounts required
• No telemetry or tracking
• Your conversations never leave your computer
• Hook scripts run locally with no network calls
