Herdr is a Rust-based terminal multiplexer and runtime designed for running AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor in persistent terminal panes. It tracks agent state (working, blocked, idle), survives disconnects and restarts, and exposes a CLI and socket API so agents and scripts can orchestrate each other.

Use cases

run multiple AI coding agents in parallel terminals
keep coding agents running after closing laptop or losing network
monitor which agent is blocked or idle across workspaces
let one agent spawn and coordinate other agents
detach and reattach terminal sessions over ssh
replace tmux with a mouse-first multiplexer
restore terminal layouts after a server restart

When to choose

you run several AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) simultaneously and need visibility into their state
you want agent sessions to survive lid close, network drops, or machine restarts
you need programmatic/agent-driven orchestration of terminal panes via CLI or socket API
you want tmux-style keybindings plus first-class mouse interaction
you want a single Rust binary with no Electron dependency

When to avoid

you only ever run one terminal with no AI agents and are happy with tmux
you need full process preservation across full server restarts (snapshot restore only restores layout)
you rely on niche agents not in the supported list and need deep lifecycle integration
you need mature Windows parity — Windows support is newer with documented platform-specific gaps
