Herdr
Herdr is a terminal runtime for coding agents that keeps sessions active and persistent across different machines and network conditions.
Herdr acts as a runtime environment for coding agents, keeping them active even when laptops close or network connections drop. It operates as a background server, maintaining terminal sessions so agents can continue tasks without interruption. Users can reconnect to these sessions from any machine with a keyboard, ensuring continuity across local devices and remote servers. Herdr supports existing agent tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor without requiring modifications. It tracks agent status across panes, identifying which processes are working, blocked, or idle to simplify management.
