AI Productivity

Send to Many

Write one prompt in Agent Input and send it to every AI terminal you tick — across every project in the workspace, not just the one you are looking at. Cold terminals are started and waited for before the prompt is typed.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Some prompts are the same everywhere: run the test suite, pull main, apply this convention, summarise what you changed. Sending them one tab at a time means retyping and losing track of who got what. Send to many opens a picker of every AI terminal in the workspace with a “Filter by terminal or project…” box, Select all and Clear all; a tab that was only saved is launched, waited on until its composer is empty, then typed into, and is never reported as sent if readiness failed. Your crew stays checked on the toolbar badge, only a full success clears the composer, and a partial send offers a retry scoped to the ones that missed so a retry cannot double-send.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1
1

Write the prompt once

Type it in Agent Input as you normally would, with any files attached.

2
2

Open Send to many

The control on the Agent Input toolbar opens “Pick the agent terminals this prompt goes to” — every AI terminal across every project, with Filter by terminal or project…, Select all and Clear all.

3
3

Send once

Each target gets the same prompt after its agent is ready. A tab that was only saved is launched, waited on until its composer is empty, then typed into.

4
4

Handle a partial send

Only a full success clears the composer. If some missed, the draft is kept and the retry is scoped to just those terminals, so nothing is sent twice — and focus never leaves the tab you typed in.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# same prompt, five terminals
# click tab 1, paste, Enter
# tab 2 is cold -- start it, wait
# tab 3 pasted before the composer was ready
# forget which one you already did

How it compares

Sending one prompt to several agents usually means pasting it into each tab in turn, or turning on input broadcast in the terminal.

Send to Many: 1DevTool compared with tmux, iTerm2, Cursor
  • 1DevToolBuilt in

    The picker lists every AI terminal across all projects, starts cold ones and waits for their composer, and a partial send retries only the terminals that missed.

  • tmuxPartly

    tmux's synchronize-panes option types the same input into every pane of a window. It covers the panes of one window at a time.

  • iTerm2Partly

    iTerm2's Broadcast Input sends keystrokes to every pane in the current tab or to all tabs. Each agent must already be running and ready.

  • CursorPartly

    Cursor can run one prompt on several models at once, each in its own worktree, and compare the results within one project.

Other features in this category you might find useful

Prompt History

Search prompts and sticky notes from Remote Control while away from the desktop. Switch between This project and All projects, filter prompts by agent or notes by source, copy entries, delete with Operator access, and sync local prompt history.

Resume UI

Read any past AI session before you resume it. Resume AI Sessions is a split view with a searchable list of every Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other agent session on the left and a live preview of the project, branch, tool calls and conversation on the right, with replies rendered as Markdown, with Resume, bypass permissions and an editable command one click away.

Combine Sessions

Merge several past AI sessions into one opening prompt, or hand a single session to a different agent. Tick sessions in Resume AI Sessions, see a token estimate of the context they add, and send the result to a new chat with any agent or preset or to a terminal that is already open.

AI Diff Review Panel

Track every file modification any AI agent makes — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, custom — and review, accept, or revert their work per file from a dedicated panel with inline diff overlays in the editor.
