Herdr

Once I had six Claude Code sessions open at once, the most expensive part of my workflow was not writing code. It was patrol: cycling through tabs to see which agent was still running and which one had been sitting on a question for ten minutes. tmux has no concept of any of this. To tmux, every pane is a rectangle of terminal, equally interesting, equally mute. herdr’s pitch lands exactly on that pain: panes are still real terminals, but a sidebar shows each agent’s live state. So it got a one-month trial, with exit conditions written down before it started. The verdict lands on August 16, and this post is honest about still being inside the window.
