Herdr
One terminal for all coding agents – like tmux, but agent-aware
AI Summary
Herdr is a terminal-based agent multiplexer that brings together multiple coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) in a single terminal interface – similar to tmux, but with agent state detection. It runs locally, on servers, or remotely via SSH, without Electron, a browser dashboard, or a cloud account. It targets developers who want to orchestrate multiple AI coding agents simultaneously and monitor them from anywhere.
✓ Pros
- + Runs anywhere SSH works – no GUI, no Electron, no cloud account required
- + Displays agent status (blocked, working, done, idle) at a glance across all sessions
- + Extensible control via CLI and JSON socket API enables full automation
✗ Cons
- − Windows support is still in beta and only available as a preview
- − Steep learning curve for developers unfamiliar with tmux-style terminal multiplexers
Use Cases
- → Monitor and control multiple coding agents in parallel within a single terminal
- → Remote development: run agents on a server and observe them via SSH from your phone
- → Automated agent orchestration via CLI and JSON socket API
- → Persistent sessions: close the terminal and let agents keep running, then reattach later
Who is it for?
Ideal for software developers who work with multiple AI coding agents on a daily basis and want to manage them efficiently from anywhere – including remotely via SSH.
