Herdr: An Agent Multiplexer for the Terminal

Herdr is a terminal-based agent multiplexer written in Rust, designed to manage multiple AI agents within a single terminal interface. It provides features like workspaces, tabs, and panes, allowing users to monitor agent states (blocked, working, done) and detach/reattach sessions while agents continue running in the background.

Why it matters

Herdr offers developers a unified and efficient way to interact with and manage AI agents directly from their terminal. By providing a native terminal experience without GUI overhead, it streamlines workflows for developers working with AI agents, particularly those who prefer command-line interfaces and need to keep agents running persistently.

Herdr is an agent multiplexer built in Rust that operates entirely within the terminal. It enables users to manage various AI agents through a system of workspaces, tabs, and panes. A key feature is its ability to display the real-time status of each agent, indicating whether it is blocked, working, or idle. Users can detach from a Herdr client session, and the agents will continue to run in the background, allowing for reattachment later. The tool supports mouse interactions like clicking, dragging, and splitting panes, and offers keyboard-driven copy mode. Herdr is compatible with Linux and macOS and provides official integrations for improved state reporting and native agent session restoration, though it functions as a terminal multiplexer even without these integrations. The latest release, v0.6.6, includes fixes for OpenCode, Claude Code, and Codex integrations, improved macOS login-shell startup, and enhanced Git status refresh in the sidebar.
