Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal.
workspaces, tabs, panes. mouse-native: click, drag, split. every agent at a glance: blocked, working, done. detach and reattach, agents keep running. no gui app, no electron, no mac-only native wrapper. you see the agent's own terminal, not someone's interpretation of it.
if mise reports
herdr not found in mise tool registry, update mise and retry. older mise versions predate the herdr registry entry;mise use -g github:ogulcancelik/herdrworks as a temporary fallback.or download the stable Linux/macOS binary from releases. Native Windows binaries are preview-only beta builds.
Start Herdr in the directory where the work lives:
Herdr starts or attaches to one background session server. When a session has no workspaces, Herdr opens one automatically. Run an agent in the root pane. Press
