I actually enjoy herdr a lot, and not just for agent management but the whole multiplexer is plenty powerful defaults and easier than tmux.
At some point though, it's too much information for my tiny human brain to process, even more than 3 agents is hard to manage and context switch. What is the point of managing herd of swarm of whatever I wonder?

Soon we will manage factories, then it will just turn into factorio at work.

The name/logo sounds/looks a lot like Rancher (https://www.rancher.com) which is "herding" (docker) containers.

Using their name, logo, and css styles - community project.
Feels wildly misleading.

Herdr has been my daily driver for about a month now. It cant auto-name sessions like every other multiplexer though. That one stupid feature is so valuable I'm considering moving on.

Where are you looking to move to? I agree that it seems like an obvious feature to be missing.
They have a plugin ecosystem, one of which is auto-named sessions. I imagine implementing your own wouldn't be too difficult either, if that one doesn't meet your standards of trust.
You could even just make a harness hook in Claude or Codex after installing the Herdr skill, telling the LLM itself to update names on start.
I must say I didn't know this existed. I looked into having the LLM name herdr sessions but found that tabs aren't addressable - the agent doesn't know which tab it's running in to target it for renaming.
The plugin is interesting and the defaults are terrible, but I think I could get what I need here. Thanks for your comment!

This does not seem to be an official product by Herdr themselves.
Use at your own risk.

Yeah, the way it's aesthetically framed like it's official immediate skeeves me out. I doubt it's intentional, given they clearly state "community" at the top, and more a case of poor judgement and AI look-aliking.

My setup is ghostty with herdr and this is so much better than using tmux or anything else. The one issue I have with herdr is its default key bindings are not familiar with anything I’ve used before. But it is easy to make Claude configure this - I found you can bind cmd-<key> sequences n addition to ctrl and alt modifiers.
The only thing I’m missing is viewing rendered markdown and mermaid charts as part of the agent outputs.

Heck, I think this works via the plugin system?
