# herdr — Terminal Multiplexer for Coding Agents

> herdr runs multiple coding agents in one persistent terminal workspace with pane control, detach-and-resume flow, and remote status check-ins.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

```bash
curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh
herdr
herdr update
```

## Intro

herdr runs multiple coding agents in one persistent terminal workspace with pane control, detach-and-resume flow, and remote status check-ins.

**Best for:** operators running several coding agents at once who need one stable terminal control plane instead of many fragile tabs

**Works with:** Linux or macOS, terminal-first agent workflows, SSH access, persistent sessions, multi-pane agent orchestration

**Setup time:** 5-10 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 701 stars · 46 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
- License: AGPL-3.0; owner avatar verified from GitHub API for ogulcancelik.
- Entry point checked from README: `curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh`.

## 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 `herdr` after 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.

## Quick Use

```bash
curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh
herdr
herdr update
```

## Intro

herdr 用持久化终端工作区统一管理多个编码 agent，提供分屏调度、状态总览、断开后恢复与远程查看能力，适合并行开发场景。

**Best for:** 同时跑多个编码 agent、但不想被大量终端标签页拖垮的工程师或运维团队

**Works with:** Linux 或 macOS、终端优先 agent 工作流、SSH 访问、持久会话、多 pane 编排

**Setup time:** 5-10 minutes

## Main

当你已经开始并行跑 agent，但监督方式还停留在“记住哪个标签页在做什么”时，herdr 的价值就很清楚了：pane、状态与会话持久化被统一到一个控制面里。

实际使用路径很直接：起一个主会话，按任务拆 pane，离开时 detach，回来后再接上原会话，而不是重新找上下文。

README 明确提到可通过 SSH 从外部设备查看进度，所以它很适合长时间运行的编码任务，不必整天守着本机终端。
