Have you ever wonder how to open multiple sessions in a singel screen in termux.
Here is a solution, an open source terminal multiplexer for Linux or Unix operating systems.

It was developed by Nicholas Marriott and contribute by Thomas Adam , Ben Boeckel and many more you can check it in the GitHub Contribution page.
Tmux is written in C Language and it's open sourced at GitHub. If you think that you can improve the program than you can contribute at Tumx.
