Herdr is a Rust‑based CLI runtime that lets AI coding agents run in persistent terminal panes. It provides a server‑client model for detaching, reattaching, and orchestrating agents across local and remote machines.

Use cases

• keep coding agents running after closing the terminal or losing SSH connection
• manage multiple AI agents in separate panes with automatic state tracking
• orchestrate agents across several machines from a single window
• automate agent workflows via Herdr's socket API and CLI commands
• extend functionality with community plugins for custom agent integrations

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, non‑Electron solution for running AI coding agents
• you want persistent terminal sessions that survive client disconnects or reboots
• you require coordination of multiple agents across local and remote hosts
• you prefer a single binary that works on Linux, macOS, and Windows

When to avoid

• you need a full‑featured graphical IDE with built‑in code editing
• your workflow depends on Windows‑only SSH server support (still limited)
• you require deep integration with existing terminal multiplexers like tmux
• you need a solution that runs agents inside a web browser
