Herdr Studio is an independent community project designed to improve the management of terminal sessions and development workflows by providing a browser-based control room. It connects to a running Herdr server, which maintains terminal sessions even when users disconnect, ensuring agents remain active.
The platform transforms terminal management into a visual workspace where users can navigate between terminals, files, diffs, and Git worktrees without losing context. It supports full terminal streaming with features like split panes, scrollback, multiline paste, clickable links, and input method editor (IME) compatibility.
Herdr Studio also facilitates code review by allowing annotations on diffs, source lines, and Markdown previews, enabling feedback to be sent directly to agents. Git worktrees are integrated into the workflow, allowing users to create, update, and remove linked worktrees while preserving the original repository state.
The setup involves running Herdr to keep terminal agents alive, launching the Herdr Studio binary to bridge terminal streams and Git operations, and accessing the interface via a URL in any modern browser. The interface is designed to be responsive, supporting use on desktops, mobile devices, and as a progressive web app (PWA).
Herdr Studio supports remote connections via SSH profiles, maintaining file and Git operation consistency across environments. It is available for macOS and Linux, with Windows versions accessible through GitHub releases. Installation can be automated using a provided shell script.
This tool is particularly relevant for developers and teams who require persistent terminal sessions and streamlined workflows across multiple devices and locations, enhancing productivity and collaboration.
