how's this compare to CMUX? EDIT: I'll probably ask this exact question everytime someone posts a new agentic terminal manager. EDIT EDIT: looks like there's some form of companian app, that's kind of cool. Will have to check this out later.

Similar in terms of features. I'd see the most meaningful advantage is the user experience, I find myself working significantly faster with Saggar. Beyond the UI, monitor & quick run windows, and rich command palette, I think the way Saggar orients your activity around your projects (e.g. a git repo) is really intuitive over the workspace model.

cool. I'll give it a go. the Companion app sounds like it could be a great way to control this, since my only option right now is directly to controlling only claude sessions.

I've been testing out herdr, how would you compare this featurewise?

Similar kind of idea, similar in terms of features. Obviously there's a big difference in feel, Saggar being a mac app with terminals, rather than living in your existing terminal app, and I think Saggar really makes the most of that difference.

I'm still working on coverage for Pi and OpenCode though!

ooh I have not built for that yet, let me take a look at that. Great request.

Ok! This is a killer feature / a must for me. I can use Claude code’s remote control, but I can’t do that across my multiple accounts. So having the ability to manage any and all sessions remotely is my goal with a tool like this, if it matches your goals I’d love to see it added. Thanks!

I haven't got a second device to hand to test this right now, but there's was only a small bit of code forcing 1-1 pairing so this SHOULD work now. Feel free to try, or I'll post again once I've had a chance to verify.

Thank you! If there's interest I could look into other OS', I don't rate electron apps and I'd want to do that natively. Plus, I'm personally a Mac user haha.

I still get use out of Intel Macs too and wondered if there was some technical reason that made it harder to implement on other hardware.

Ah right! There's a bit of extra work, I was looking into it last week, I paused as I saw a lot of articles like this https://www.techradar.com/computing/mac-os/apple-quietly-kil...

I'll look into it again!

My suspicion is that Herdr will go this way with the YC relationship; they are keeping the runtime open source - the thing their terminal UI is built on- and there’s no reason cli needs to be their only target. Your app is very nice looking!

I love this but I can’t figure out how to have my two computers have remote control sessions at once from a single phone browser session. Is it possible?

ooh I have not built for that yet, let me take a look at that. Great request.

usecase is I have a Mac laptop and a windows laptop because I need to support both platforms.

Seems to work! The UI for switching boxes is a little fiddly but it does work. Thanks!
