Herdr: the Tmux for AI Agents
Herdr is a terminal multiplexer built for AI coding agents — basically tmux for agents. In this video, I walk through how Herdr helps solve one of the biggest AI coding workflow problems: running long coding sessions, detaching, walking away, and coming back later without losing your work.
Herdr gives you persistent terminal sessions, workspaces, panes, tabs, keyboard shortcuts, mouse-friendly TUI controls, remote SSH sessions, and built-in agent status tracking for tools like Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents. It also exposes CLI commands through a Unix socket, making it possible to use Herdr as an agent orchestration layer for spawning and managing multiple AI agents inside the same terminal session.
In this video, I cover:
What Herdr is and why it feels like “tmux for agents”
How Herdr compares to tmux and Cmux
Persistent terminal sessions for long-running AI coding tasks
Workspaces, panes, tabs, splits, and keyboard shortcuts
Agent status updates, blocker notifications, and macOS alerts
Remote Herdr sessions over SSH
Using the Herdr CLI for agent orchestration
Spinning up multiple Claude Code / Codex instances from inside Herdr
Current limitations, bugs, and tradeoffs
Herdr is especially useful if you use AI coding agents and want a better way to manage long-running sessions across your local machine, laptop, server, or remote Ubuntu box.
