Herdr setup: manage Claude Code and Codex sessions

Herdr is presented as an open source terminal multiplexer for managing several coding agents. The tutorial demonstrates installation on Linux and notes versions for macOS and Windows. Workspaces contain tabs, and tabs contain panes, so separate projects can share one terminal interface.

The speaker runs Claude Code on a Flask to-do app and Codex on a Pygame snake game. Status indicators distinguish active work, approval requests and completion. Closing the terminal detaches from the background server; the machine must stay running and avoid suspension for work to continue. The speaker also corrects an apparent labeling bug: the interface shows the workspace name rather than the current directory.

Keyboard instruction covers pane splits, tab navigation and workspace management. The default prefix is Ctrl+B, while the demonstration uses a custom Ctrl+A binding. Settings live in config.toml, and the speaker explains that configuration changes require a server reload.

A later example uses the CLI to let one AI agent create panes, launch other agents and summarize their output. Approval requests still interrupt the demonstrated workflow until the user authorizes them. The final section demonstrates remote access over SSH with local client settings and describes installing Herdr on a remote server when needed.
