Herdr: Manage All AI Coding Agents from One Terminal
Original: Herdr: One terminal to rule them all
Why This Matters
As multi-agent AI coding workflows grow, unified terminal orchestration tools address a real developer productivity gap.
Herdr is a terminal-based agent multiplexer that lets developers run multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, etc.) from a single terminal interface. It requires no Electron, no account, and no telemetry, and supports SSH access and mobile reattachment.
Herdr is an open-source, binary-only tool that acts as an agent multiplexer — a single terminal dashboard for managing multiple AI coding agents simultaneously. Users can monitor agent status (blocked, working, done, idle) at a glance via a sidebar, with each agent running in its own persistent terminal session on a server. Sessions remain alive even after closing the laptop, and users can reattach from a phone or any remote device over SSH.
The tool supports agents including Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex, and is built without Electron, requiring no account registration or telemetry. Installation is available via a shell script, Homebrew, Nix flake, or a Windows PowerShell preview. The interface shows real-time PTY output per agent, context usage, and permission controls. Herdr is positioned as a lightweight, privacy-respecting alternative to GUI-based agent management tools, targeting developers who prefer terminal workflows and need to orchestrate multiple long-running AI coding sessions across projects.
