Verified project record

ogulcancelik/herdr

A terminal-based multiplexer for viewing, managing, and orchestrating multiple AI coding agents that can continue running in the background, including over SSH. It runs as a single Rust binary without requiring a graphical Electron interface.

Project overview

Project type: AI Agent · Infrastructure
Use cases: Coding & Development · Automation
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: License pending

Best for

Developers who operate in a CLI environment and need to monitor and coordinate multiple long-running AI agents locally or over SSH.
Workflows requiring programmatic coordination where AI agents spawn panes and wait on each other via a socket API.

Key capabilities

View and manage every agent at a glance with real terminal views showing if they are blocked, working, or done.
Provides a pure socket API that allows agents to spawn panes, read output, and wait on each other programmatically.
Renders a terminal user interface in whatever terminal the user already uses, without requiring Electron.

Limitations and risks

The application runs exclusively as a single Rust binary without a graphical Electron interface.

Getting started

Installation is considered easy and can be performed via a single command using an install script or package managers such as Homebrew.
After running the install command, execute the program in your working directory to begin managing agents.

README: run your agents, split panes, walk away. `ctrl+b q` detaches, `herdr` reattaches.
README: agents can use herdr too — a pure socket api: agents spawn panes, read output, wait on each other.
