Herdr — where your coding agents live (and keep working when you close the terminal)
· 13 min read
If you use coding agents often, you've probably lived this scene: three terminals open, a Claude Code implementing a feature, a Codex reviewing another branch, an OpenCode investigating a bug. You go grab a coffee. When you come back, two of them have been sitting there for 15 minutes waiting for you to approve something, and one finished a while ago without you noticing.
Or worse: you accidentally close the terminal, the SSH connection drops, and the whole session goes with it.
Herdr solves exactly that. It describes itself as "where your coding agents live": a terminal runtime that keeps agents running in the background, shows the state of each one, and exposes an API so scripts (and other agents) can control everything.
