Main
herdr is valuable when you already trust agent output but cannot reliably supervise parallel runs. It centralizes panes, status, and session persistence so orchestration stops depending on memory.
The operational pattern is simple: start one session, create task-specific panes, detach when you leave, and reconnect later without losing the running context.
Because the README explicitly calls out phone or remote SSH check-ins, herdr fits teams that need to monitor long-running coding jobs without keeping a laptop open all day.
Source-backed notes
- README has a dedicated install section with a shell installer and release binaries.
- Quick start is simply launching
herdrafter install. - Persistence docs explain detach-and-resume sessions and SSH-based remote access.
FAQ
Q: Is it just tmux? A: No. The project focuses on agent-aware session management, status scanning, and a simpler operator flow.
Q: How do I install it? A: Use the shell installer or download a release binary, exactly as documented in the README.
Q: Can I reconnect later? A: Yes. Persistence and remote SSH re-entry are first-class workflow points in the docs.
