Solo Dev with One Agent

This is where most people should start. One machine, one agent, you in control. You do the research and planning, your agent does the typing. Thrum keeps the session alive, routes messages to your phone when you're away from the terminal, and gets out of your way the rest of the time. If you've never used Thrum before, start here.

Prerequisites

Walkthrough

  1. Quickstart — install Thrum, start the daemon, and register your first agent
  2. Single Agent Mode — use Thrum without any messaging overhead; just you and one agent
  3. Tmux Sessions — run your agent in a persistent tmux session so it keeps working when you close the terminal
  4. Multi-Runtime Support — pick the runtime that fits your workflow; Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc. all work
  5. Session Restart — recover cleanly after context loss without losing your place
  6. Identity — how Thrum knows who your agent is and how that persists across restarts

Control from Your Phone

Connect the Telegram Bridge and you don't need to stay at your desk. Thrum pings you when your agent hits a decision point or needs input. You reply from Telegram and the conversation threads back into the session — no terminal required. Close your laptop and your agent keeps running in tmux.
