Can anyone tell me how is this different than tmux?

Mostly it’s the agents view, it’ll show the status of and let you quickly jump to all the agents you have running in any pane/tab. It also has a default config that’s much easier to use than tmux, letting you use the mouse or simpler (IMO) keyboard shortcuts Built in worktrees are nice too.

I guess I have to download and try. It does not sound too exciting to me.

> if you run a copyleft service and connect to it via API, is that extending it No, it isn't; a client talking to an AGPLv3 service over a network API stays a separate program and is not touched by the license at all. Section 13 places obligations solely on whoever runs a modified version of the service, while remote users, API clients included, only gain the right to receive that service's source. So nothing on the…

You may think this. I may think this. But what really matters is if the lawyers for your customers think this. It may be pure FUD, but AGPL projects have a tough time getting adoption in companies because they would rather avoid the problem than be wrong.

The license is clear. Your post merely adds to the FUD.

herdr users (and all the other terminal multiplexer users): what am I missing? I use cmux because I like tabbed terminals on macOS grouped by project, saves messing with our daft window management. What is it that makes herdr et al so popular with LLM users?

I loved using cmux for several weeks until I saw the ram usage.

It also might just not be much use for you, especially if you’ve been using tmux for a long time and have a set up you like.

I switched from tmux to Herdr about six weeks ago. It's a great bit of software, the UI is focused on switching between multiple agents quickly. I run Herdr to keep my opencode instances well managed, and it also works great for having a few terminals opens next to your agent. I find myself keeping opencode sessions open for longer like what happens with Codex and Claude code, which is great if I need to revisit a co…

Congrats to Can on the pre-seed funding. genuinely wishing you all the best. The terminal multiplexer / multi-agent coding space is getting very crowded. YC alone has funded many competing startups in this space: herdr, Superset, cmux, Emdash, Orca, Bullet, Conductor (Conductor was in YC before pivoting from chat->coding). I’m probably missing a few, and that’s before counting companies outside YC such as Superlogica…

There is no business model here. This is a terrible outcome.

I am guessing this now directly competes with mitchellh's multiplexer / Superlogical.

I just wouldn't bet against Mitchell. He doesn't need the money. He does it for the love of it.

Though what I genuinely don't understand is, why then Mitchel needs funding? If he needs funding - why accept it from weird contraversial figures?

He has the freedom of choice, like no other.

I've been using Herdr for a while now, but I'd like a multiplexer that's also a meta-harness that I can connect to remotely. I know others have setups that work, I just haven't quite figured it out yet.

Simplest setup would be just plain ssh/mosh. Nothing more exotic.

I have seen moshi.app but haven't tested it yet.
