See Shepherd in actionShepherd stays out of your way while your agents work in the background.
Shepherd watches every Herdr agent without asking you to watch another window.
No checking terminals. No wondering whether an agent is stuck.
Blocked agents rise to the top. Working agents stay quiet.
Shepherd carries the question and how long it has waited, not just a status.
One action takes you back to the exact Herdr session.
The agent finishes, Shepherd says so once, then gets out of the way.
⌥⇧Space opens a command palette from anywhere. Whoever needs you is already on top.
Tab into a reply, pick an option or type an answer. It goes straight to the agent.
Fuzzy search across agents, workspaces and actions. ⌘K for everything you can do next.
Lives in the notch
A logo and a few dots beside the notch. No window to keep open.
Four agents working. Nothing needs you.
Built around attention
Shepherd surfaces blocked agents before everything else.
Light by design
No Dock icon, and nothing animating while nothing changes. On a display without a notch, it moves to the menu bar.
Herdr manages your coding agents. Shepherd gives them a quiet place to reach you when human input is needed.
Keep your agents in sight.
