GoKawiilHerdr launches native desktop app for terminals and coding agents
Herdr has released a native desktop application that organizes terminal sessions and coding agents into workspaces called 'spaces,' each containing tabs and splittable panes. The app includes an agents sidebar that tracks the status of coding agents across all spaces—marking them as Working, Blocked, Done, or Idle—and lets terminals keep running after the window closes. It installs via shell script on Linux/macOS and PowerShell on Windows, and can also install its companion herdr-core component if missing.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By consolidating multiple terminal sessions and AI coding agents into a single interface with status tracking, Herdr addresses a workflow pain point for developers juggling several automated agents at once. The install scripts fetch and execute remote code, which the installation notes flag as worth reviewing before running, a common tradeoff for convenience versus security in developer tooling. Platform support gaps—such as requiring Intel Mac users to build from source—suggest the app is still prioritizing certain hardware configurations over full cross-platform parity.
- Herdr is a new native app for managing terminals and coding agents across workspaces called spaces.
- An agents sidebar shows real-time status (Working, Blocked, Done, Idle) for agents across all spaces.
- Installation uses curl/PowerShell scripts that run remote code and can also install the required herdr-core component.
