## What it is
|
|
|
|
herdr is a terminal workspace manager built for AI coding agents. It splits your terminal into panes, like tmux, and runs your agents in them: Claude Code, opencode and others. Each pane is marked working, blocked or idle, so you can see at a glance which agent is waiting for an answer.
|
|
|
|
Its terminals keep running in a background server when you close the window or lose an SSH connection; run `herdr` again to pick up where you left off. It can also gather sessions from several machines into one window.
|
|
|
|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **Many agents, one view.** Run agents across projects side by side and spot the one that's stuck.
|
|
- **Walk away.** Detach with `ctrl+b q` and the agents keep working.
|
|
- **Uses what you have.** It doesn't replace your agents or your terminal; it runs them.
|
|
|
|
## On CoreDesktop
|
|
|
|
herdr is installed from the AUR. Start it in a project directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
herdr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Agents you start by name in its panes, such as `opencode` or `hermes`, still run in CoreDesktop's [AI sandbox](/ai-sandbox/). `update` keeps herdr current with the rest of the AUR packages.
