New here? Start with this
It’s a plugin layer for your terminal.
herdr is a terminal multiplexer and agent runtime — tmux-style panes, persistent sessions, and an API that agents can drive. herdr-plus is the open-source extension platform that sits on top of it.
One small binary, installed as a herdr keybinding. Two features today — Quick Actions and Projects — with a plugin-style modes system designed to grow. Everything is driven by plain TOML files you own.
More modes soon
A plugin system that keeps growing.
+ Projects
Whole workspaces from one file.
+ Quick Actions
A fuzzy launcher in any tab.
herdr
The terminal underneath it all.
Quick Actions
A fuzzy launcher in any tab.
Hit prefix ↓ and a focused split opens beneath your pane. Fuzzy-find an action, press enter, and it runs — then the split closes itself. Your hands never leave the keyboard.
- Three action types — run a
command, pick from aselectlist, or type into aform. - Per-project actions — drop a
.herdr-plus/folder in a repo and its actions appear, grouped, only there. - Context-aware — commands are Go templates with
{{.WorkDir}},{{.Value}}, and more, also exported asHERDR_PLUS_*env vars. - Just files — one TOML per action in
~/.config/herdr-plus/. Add a file, get an action.
Projects
Whole workspaces from one file.
Hit prefix ↑, pick a project, and herdr-plus builds the entire workspace — every tab created, every split laid out, every startup command running. It replaces hand-written workspace shell scripts with a config file you can read at a glance.
- Declarative tabs — a name, a working directory, and an ordered list of tabs with startup commands.
- Split panes — up to four panes per tab, stacked
downor side-by-sideright. - Paths that expand —
~and$VARSresolve inworking_dir. - Group by client — tag projects with a
groupand the browser clusters them under headings; the rest fall underUngrouped. - One file per project — kept in
~/.config/herdr-plus/projects/. Versionable, shareable, yours.
Built the way terminal people like it
Small, fast, and entirely yours.
Plain TOML, no UI
Every action and project is a file you can read, edit, version, and share. No databases, no dashboards.
Keyboard-native
Bound to your herdr prefix. Fuzzy-find, run, done — the launcher closes itself when the action fires.
A modes system
One binary, many modes. Control and Quick Actions today; the plugin surface is designed to grow.
Per-repo extensions
Ship a .herdr-plus/ folder with a repo and its actions show up — grouped and scoped — only inside it.
Idempotent install
herdr-plus install wires the keybinding and reloads herdr. It won’t duplicate or clobber an existing binding.
Free & open source
MIT-licensed, no telemetry, no lock-in. Auto-updates via Homebrew or the install script on every release.
Install the binary
Homebrew or a one-line script — your pick.
brew tap cloudmanic/herdr-plus https://github.com/cloudmanic/herdr-plus

Bind the keys
Wire the keybindings into herdr (it reloads automatically).

Control → prefix ↑ · Quick Actions → prefix ↓
Press the key
Inside herdr, hit your prefix and the bound key:
Everything is documented.
Quick starts, every config field, the full action and project schemas, template variables, a copy-paste cookbook, and troubleshooting. Read it top to bottom and you’ll know the whole product.
Built for agents, too.
Point an LLM or coding agent at /llms.txt for a structured index, or
/llms-full.txt for the entire docs in one plain-text fetch.
