About
Control Herdr, a terminal multiplexer for coding agents. Use only when the user explicitly mentions Herdr or asks to use Herdr to inspect or control panes, tabs, workspaces, commands, or another agent. Do not use merely because a task could benefit from a background terminal, delegation, or parallel work. Requires HERDR_ENV=1.

[session state →](https://herdr.dev/docs/session-state/) - **several machines, one window** — keep local work and saved ssh machines together, with a combined agent list and independent reconnects. [remote machines →](https://herdr.dev/docs/connecting-machines/) - **never hunt for the stuck one** — every pane is marked working, blocked, or idle. when an agent stops and needs an answer, herdr says so. - **agent-native** — agents drive herdr through the cli and socket api: they can spawn panes, prompt each other, and wait until another agent is genuinely blocked. [agent skill →](https://herdr.dev/docs/agent-skill/) - **runs what you already run** — claude code, codex, cursor, opencode, grok and the rest. herdr doesn't wrap or replace them; it owns their terminals. - **keyboard and mouse, both first-class** — tmux-style prefix keys *and* click, drag, split. pick per moment, not per tool. - **plugins** — extend panes and workflows. [browse the marketplace →](https://herdr.dev/plugins/) - **one rust binary, no electron** — runs in whatever terminal you already use. --- ## install ```bash curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh ``` or `brew install herdr` · `mise use -g herdr` · windows: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://herdr.dev/install.ps1 | iex"` · [endpoint-protected Windows](https://herdr.dev/docs/windows-beta/) · [binaries](https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr/releases) then start it where the work lives: ```bash herdr ``` run your agents, split panes, walk away. `ctrl+b q` detaches, `herdr` reattaches.
