Herdr is a cross-platform desktop application designed for terminals and coding agents, enabling users to manage work across spaces and maintain persistent terminals. Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, the app integrates with existing development workflows by organizing work into spaces with tabs and panes. Users can track agent status through a sidebar, distinguishing between Working, Blocked, Done, and Idle states.
The application supports remote work via SSH, allowing terminals to remain running on remote machines even after the local session closes. Installation varies by operating system, with specific scripts for Linux and Windows PowerShell, and a drag-and-drop .dmg for macOS Apple Silicon. Herdr features a command palette for customization and supports user-created layouts and mods.
Updates are handled in the background, keeping terminals running in the core. The tool aims to streamline terminal management and agent coordination for developers.
