Herdr: the terminal multiplexer built for AI agents 🤖
Orchestrating several AI agents in your terminal has never been this simple.
With the rise of AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent…), the way we work in the terminal is changing fast. Running several agents in parallel inside a classic multiplexer (like tmux or zellij) quickly becomes messy when you need to track who’s doing what. That’s where Herdr comes in.
What is Herdr?🔗
Herdr is a persistent terminal multiplexer built specifically for the age of AI agents. It runs as a background server and adds an agent-aware management layer on top of your usual PTYs.
What Herdr lets you do🔗
- 🚦 Real-time status tracking: Herdr automatically detects each agent’s state and displays it clearly (running, waiting for input, blocked, or done). No more endless scrolling to figure out whether an agent needs you!
- 🔄 Absolute persistence: Your tasks keep running even if you close your terminal window or disconnect an SSH session.
- 🔌 API & automation: Through its CLI and socket API, agents can themselves interact with the multiplexer (open new tabs, launch sub-tasks).
- 🖥️ Native terminal: It integrates seamlessly with your favorite terminal emulator using standard PTYs.
In short🔗
If you use AI agents in the CLI every day for your projects and want to maximize your productivity without losing track, Herdr is a tool you should try right away.
