Herdr is a terminal-based agent multiplexer written primarily in Rust. Mechanically, it runs a background session server that manages workspaces, tabs, and panes—each pane being a real terminal process rather than a rewritten view—and lets clients detach and reattach without stopping the underlying agents. It targets developers who run multiple coding agents concurrently and want tmux-style multiplexing with mouse-native controls (src/app/input/mod.rs handles mouse interaction) and no Electron or GUI dependency.
The 707-star daily gain is not directly explained by the supplied facts: no releases or commit titles were fetched, so we cannot attribute the spike to a specific launch or feature drop. The plausible driver from the evidence is the README's positioning—"agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal", detach/reattach with agents kept running, and cross-platform install paths (Homebrew, mise, Windows preview beta). Without release or commit data, this remains inference rather than confirmed cause.
