+ strengths
- Apache-2.0 licensed single binary for macOS, Linux and Windows
- Agents keep running when the terminal closes or the network drops; layout and sessions restore after restart
- Machines added over SSH appear alongside local workspaces in one client
- CLI and socket API let agents split panes, prompt each other and wait on one another
! weak points
- Pre-1.0 (v0.9.5)
- Terminal-UI tool without a GUI app; no mobile app or phone control seen
- Git worktree management and MCP not mentioned on the homepage or docs landing page
- Herdr Cloud is waitlist-only with no pricing yet
~/who it is for
- best for
- Developers who live in a terminal and want persistent, status-aware multi-agent sessions across local and SSH machines.
- look elsewhere if
- Users wanting a graphical app with built-in diff review, browser panes or a phone companion.
