Herdr's next step is connecting machines. With over 700,000 downloads and close to 1,000 plugins, the tool now supports multi-machine management. Users can attach to remote machines via SSH, allowing agents to run 24/7 without keeping a laptop open. The update shifts the client to aggregate multiple servers in one interface.

Previously, each machine required a separate Herdr client, making it hard to track agents. Multiplexers like tmux and Zellij don't support one TUI managing independent servers, but agents are changing that. Herdr 0.9 renders the outer UI on the client while servers own sessions, enabling seamless switching.

With this update, users can add machines via SSH and access workspaces, tabs, and agents locally or remotely. Agents keep running when disconnected. Future plans include cross-machine agent collaboration and easier setup through a Herdr account, moving toward a 1.0 release.
