herdr
Land in herdr instead of tmux, a terminal multiplexer that shows which of your coding agents is working, waiting on you, or done.
Connect
prized herdrThe first connect installs herdr, an open-source terminal multiplexer built for coding agents, into ~/.local/bin on the box (a checksum-verified release); later connects reuse it, and a herdr you installed yourself is used as is. You land in herdr's default session, the same one herdr opens from any shell on the box, and a suspended box wakes first.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
prized herdr my-box | Connect to another box. |
prized herdr -s agents | Attach to, or create, a named herdr session. |
prized herdr --no-forward | Leave the box's ports alone (Ports). |
prized herdr --no-drop-upload | Paste dragged files as plain paths, without uploading them. |
prized herdr --no-clipboard | Keep copies made on the box off this machine's clipboard. |
Find the agent that needs you
The sidebar lists every agent with its state: working, blocked (waiting on you), idle, or done. Press ctrl+b g to list them all, then b for the blocked ones and Enter to jump there. Start an agent in a new tab with ctrl+b c, then claude or codex.
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
ctrl+b c | New tab |
ctrl+b v / ctrl+b - | Split right / down |
ctrl+b h j k l | Move between panes |
ctrl+b g | Jump to any agent |
ctrl+b q | Detach; everything keeps running |
ctrl+b s / ctrl+b ? | Settings / every key |
The mouse works too: click tabs and agents, drag pane borders, right-click for menus.
Works like prized ssh
On macOS and Linux:
- Drag files in. Files dropped on the window upload to
~/.prized/drops/and paste as box paths; herdr shows the progress as a notification (Sessions). - Copy out. A copy made on the box, Claude Code's included, lands on this machine's clipboard.
- Dropped connections reconnect to the same herdr session (Sessions); a box paused meanwhile stays paused.
