**agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal.**
- **every agent at a glance** — blocked, working, done. real terminal views, not a wrapped interpretation.
- **detach, agents keep running** — reattach from any terminal, or over ssh. sessions survive restarts.
- **agents can use herdr too** — a pure socket api: agents spawn panes, read output, wait on each other. [agent skill →](https://herdr.dev/docs/agent-skill/)
- **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 →](https://herdr.dev/plugins/)
- **one rust binary, no electron** — runs in whatever terminal you already use.

## install
```bash
curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh
```
or `brew install herdr` · `mise use -g herdr` · windows beta: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://herdr.dev/install.ps1 | iex"` · [binaries](https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr/releases)
then start it where the work lives:
```bash
herdr
```
run your agents, split panes, walk away. `ctrl+b q` detaches, `herdr` reattaches. [quick start →](https://herdr.dev/docs/quick-start/)
