Summary
Alex Finn walks through Herdr, a free terminal-based app he says has replaced the Claude Code and Codex desktop apps in his daily vibe coding workflow. Herdr organizes work into machines, spaces (projects), and tabs, where each tab is its own AI agent. That lets one developer supervise a whole herd of agents across a Mac Studio, a laptop, and multiple projects from a single window.
The video demonstrates mixing agents within one project, for example Claude Code for 3D models, Codex for gameplay and maps, and a separate testing agent, with the agents able to message one another. A running list of agents sorts by who finished most recently, so the user simply clicks the next one that is ready and gives it a new task.
Finn then builds a small game step by step so viewers can follow along. He covers setup, naming agents, and delegating tasks between them. He also previews extras such as a Herdr HUD for monitoring agents while doing other things, and an Apple Watch app he built to talk to his agents. Developers and beginners interested in running parallel coding agents will find a concrete, reproducible setup to try.
