Coordinate multiple coding agents in parallel, keeping them running in the background.
Herdr is a workspace for coordinating multiple coding agents and managing parallel tasks. It runs as a background server that hosts the agents' terminals, so they keep working when you close the lid or lose the network, and it restores the layout and resumes sessions after a restart.
It reads every pane to show whether each agent is working, blocked, or idle, so you can find the one waiting on you without checking panes one by one. It works with existing agent CLIs without wrapping or replacing them, and it can manage agents across multiple machines over SSH.
It is aimed at developers who want orchestration without a heavy setup.
