Summary
Herdr is a terminal multiplexer in the spirit of tmux, but designed around AI coding agents. In this walkthrough, NetworkChuck shows how to install it on Mac, Linux, and Windows, and how to run multiple long-lived sessions that keep going in the background and can be reattached from another machine.
The video demonstrates what makes Herdr AI-native: notifications and status icons that tell you when an agent is done, blocked, or waiting on a question, plus keyboard shortcuts for filtering sessions by status such as done, blocked, working, and idle. He runs Claude Code and Hermes side by side, sets up sound and toast notifications, and uses the prefix-mode shortcuts to jump between agents that need attention.
The most notable feature is that agents can control Herdr themselves. They can open new panes and windows, and even launch and talk to other agents, with a Claude Code session driving Codex, Gemini, and Grok. The video includes a sponsored segment from HPE Networking aimed at network engineers, encouraging them to use AI for log analysis, root cause analysis, and documentation. Viewers who run several coding agents at once will find a practical setup guide here.
