**the runtime your coding agents live on.**
- **detach without stopping work** — herdr keeps terminals running in a background server when you close the client or lose your SSH connection. after a server or machine restart, herdr restores the saved layout and can resume supported agent sessions; the original processes do not survive. session state →
- **several machines, one window** — keep local work and saved ssh machines together, with a combined agent list and independent reconnects. remote machines →
- **never hunt for the stuck one** — every pane is marked working, blocked, or idle. when an agent stops and needs an answer, herdr says so.
- **agent-native** — agents drive herdr through the cli and socket api: they can spawn panes, prompt each other, and wait until another agent is genuinely blocked. agent skill →
- **runs what you already run** — claude code, codex, cursor, opencode, grok and the rest. herdr doesn't wrap or replace them; it owns their terminals. building an agent? add herdr support →
- **keyboard and mouse, both first-class** — tmux-style prefix keys *and* click, drag, split. pick per moment, not per tool.
- **plugins** — extend panes and workflows. browse the marketplace →
- **one rust binary, no electron** — runs in whatever terminal you already use.
