herdr Setup and Usage

Create persistent, restorable workspaces for AI coding agents.

herdr provides persistent terminal workspaces for AI coding agents. After a disconnect or reconnect, you can continue previous work.

Use it for long-running agents, multiple workspaces, and fast session recovery.

Install

Run this on the remote host:

curl -fsSL https://herdr.dev/install.sh | sh

Confirm that herdr is available on the remote PATH.

Enable It in Redock

  1. Edit the Host.
  2. Select herdr under Session Persistence.
  3. Save the Host.

Connections opened from Launch, Project, or Action will create or resume the matching workspace.

Use It

After connecting, Redock shows existing workspaces and lets you create new ones.

To manage the sidebar, tabs, and panes, open Snippet → herdr or use herdr commands directly.

Touch Controls
