history
Project history and usage
Herdr UI is a native graphical client for the Herdr agent-multiplexer daemon. It renders daemon-owned terminal sessions and adds graphical workspace, review, browser, device, and agent-management workflows.
Project history
Herdr UI was developed as an unaffiliated native Rust/GPUI client for the Herdr daemon. It expanded beyond terminal rendering to workspace and worktree navigation, agent activity, native review tools, browser annotations, remote devices, and session movement.
Adoption history
Herdr UI packages a native graphical view of an existing Herdr deployment while preserving interoperability with Herdr's terminal client. The project distributes a Homebrew cask for macOS and also documents Linux, Nix, and experimental Windows builds.
How it is used
Install the Herdr daemon separately, then launch Herdr UI to attach to its local client socket. Use the GUI alongside the TUI to inspect agents, manage workspaces and worktrees, review changes, and reconnect to persistent sessions.
Why package nerds care
The package separates presentation from session ownership: the GUI can be installed, upgraded, opened, or closed without taking over the daemon's terminals. It is a useful example of a native client layered on a daemon-first developer tool.
Timeline
- 2026: Public release activity established Herdr UI as a separately packaged native client for the Herdr daemon.
- 2026: Distribution covered macOS, Linux, Nix, and experimental Windows builds.
Related projects
- The independently maintained Herdr daemon owns PTYs, agents, workspaces, and session state. Herdr UI discovers or starts an already installed daemon and attaches through its client socket, while the TUI may remain attached simultaneously.
