Inspired by Herdr, I've built an agent multiplexer that I've been using as my daily driver for a few weeks now.
I think I improved on the concept in a few ways, focusing on the ergonomics I always wished I had:
I show you what the agents are up to, along with a running feed of their activity. There's also a simple shortcut (F1) to go to the next unread agent.
I use multiple accounts, so I've added unified launcher for Codex/Claude Code/Pi. Theres some careful ergonomics there: fast search and resume over sessions, inline usage tracking etc.
Many small quality of life improvements to the terminal experience: - Links can be copied with a click, so no need to drag-select over many lines - cmd+v just pastes images (even on SSH) - images have a thumbnail preview. - Built-in CPU/Memory/GPU usage tracking, broken down by workspace
I assume you have access to cheap inference (Luna/Haiku/etc). It just reuses the agents to organize things for you: what is this http link? what is this worktree about? what is each agent doing? It's small but it made my environment feel more cozy.
On a personal note, I've been on a frustrating sick leave for a while now. I created Corgi to challenge myself, and see if I can go back. The answer is more mixed than I had hoped, but I am happy with the result and thankful for the experience.
I hope you like it! a few friends & myself have been using it for a few weeks and it's been pretty nice. There's still a lot to improve and some rough edges, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)

I'm big on agent ergonomics. Cool to see what others are doing in the space.

Can I use normal X11 text selection with mouse button-1 and pasting with button-3?
In the end, failure to handle basic X11 select/paste is what keeps me away from herdr and tmux.

Let's see if I can add in some of required version control/git tooling. Might have some PRs incoming for you soon.

Throwing the ball and watching this little character run was truly a delightful interaction. For whatever part you had in its creation, thank you.

One question: Have you thought about a voice relay that uses e.g. a local Whisper model ? I found the system-level dication mode of macOS quite unreliable, so have a homegrown own solution (via a Zellij plugin and a running voice relay). I wonder, is this a too-special use case or something people or something generally useful ?

cmd+v just pastes images (even on SSH)
This is such an useful feature and I'm surprised so few tools bother to implement it.

However (and I know connecting is on the road map), is it possible to have multiple local connections? That's core functionality for me, I run Herdr in one terminal on my workstation, and on my laptop I ssh in (actually "wezterm connect") and run a "herdr attach" so I can access it both from my Mac and my desk. I've never gotten around to trying the herdr native connect from my Mac because that works so well.

'oh btw, add the light theme as well and maybe read the system's, if that's not such a bother of course'
There are some very nice features there. And more polished/modern than herdr for sure. Would love to be able to use it as a daily driver.
Cannot switch to it though, mainly because, from what I understand, it doesn't sync/connect with other machines like herdr does. As in, seamlessly. Theme-ing (light/dark) adaptation seems a bit clunky as well. And huge TS files in the source code are not encouraging for how this will scale, or how many bugs will come up.
Still, I appreciate sharing your work with everyone. Thank you.
