Herdr Studio is an independent community project designed to enhance terminal session management by providing a visual workspace accessible from any modern web browser. It works alongside a running Herdr server, which keeps terminal agents alive even when users disconnect their browsers or laptops. The platform offers full terminal streaming with features such as split panes, scrollback, multiline paste, clickable links, and input method editor (IME) support.
Beyond terminal management, Herdr Studio integrates Git workflows by allowing users to create, open, update, and safely remove linked Git worktrees while preserving the state of the source checkout and any uncommitted changes. Users can review changed files, annotate specific lines, preview Markdown content, and send feedback directly to agents.
The setup involves three steps: starting the Herdr server to maintain agent sessions, running a standalone binary that bridges the local socket API and session data, and accessing the workspace through a browser or Progressive Web App (PWA) interface. This approach enables developers to monitor and control their work from various devices, including mobile phones, without losing context.
Herdr Studio supports session intelligence features such as message metadata, search capabilities, raw transcript access, and export options for supported agents. It also facilitates remote operations via SSH profiles, ensuring file and Git operations remain synchronized.
Installation is straightforward, with binaries available for macOS and Linux, and Windows support provided through downloadable archives. The tool aims to provide a centralized control room experience rather than a traditional dashboard, helping developers efficiently oversee and steer their terminal-based workflows.
