See it, answer it, done.

An agent asks to push. You see the question on the red card, turn input on, and tap the answer. Nothing is sent until you say so.

The agent screen, read-only: the question and its options, with input off.

The same screen with input on: the top bar is amber and the options are lit.

Blocked comes first

Waiting agents rise to the top as a solid red card. Finished ones follow; the rest stay quiet.

●

Real terminal output

The last lines of each pane in monospace, so you know what happened without the laptop.

Input is a mode

Reading is free. Sending needs a deliberate switch, stays visible, and times out.

◔

Notifies when one waits

Only for agents waiting on you, only while the app is closed.

⇄

SSH or Tailscale

Keys, ssh-agent, or a tailnet browser login. Herdr's socket is found for you.

A made-up session built in, so you can look around before connecting anything.

How it works

Your laptop, over ssh. Nothing in between.

Cowboy connects straight to the machine running Herdr and reads each agent's pane. No relay, no account, no copy of your code anywhere else.

1Add a hostuser@host with a key, ssh-agent or Tailscale.

Five states

Glyph, word and colour, so none relies on colour alone.
