Herdr is an innovative agent multiplexer designed to provide a robust runtime environment for AI coding agents directly within the terminal. It offers a unique approach by displaying real terminal views of agent activities, enabling users to monitor agents' states (blocked, working, done) at a glance without abstracted interpretations. A key feature is its session persistence, allowing users to detach from the terminal while agents continue running in the background, and then reattach from any terminal, including over SSH, with sessions surviving restarts. The platform includes a pure socket API, enabling agents to interact with Herdr itself, spawning panes, reading output, and coordinating tasks. It supports both keyboard-driven (tmux-style prefix keys) and mouse-based interactions, offering flexibility in user control. Herdr also boasts a plugin architecture for extending panes and workflows, with a marketplace for extensions. Built in Rust as a single binary, it avoids the overhead of Electron-based solutions and integrates seamlessly with existing terminal environments. Installation is straightforward via curl, Homebrew, or other package managers, making it accessible for developers looking to manage and orchestrate their AI coding agents effectively.
