Herdr

About Herdr

Herdr is a terminal-based runtime and multiplexer for developers who run AI coding agents, shells, tests, and other command-line tools. It organizes work into workspaces, tabs, and panes managed by a background server, so processes can keep running when a client disconnects. Users can reattach locally or connect to Herdr on other machines over SSH. The software detects supported coding agents and displays whether they are working, blocked, idle, or done; integrations can preserve native agent sessions after a server restart. Its CLI and local socket API let scripts and agents inspect sessions, manage panes, start or prompt agents, and wait for state changes. Developers can configure keybindings and themes and extend workflows with local executable plugins. Herdr is installed on macOS, Linux, or Windows and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
