Cosa fa herdr

Developers don't run one coding agent anymore. They run fleets of them - for hours, sometimes days - across laptops, servers, and sandboxes. Keeping track of that work is the new bottleneck: which agent is blocked, which one finished, which terminal is it in, and why did everything die when the laptop closed. Herdr is the open-source home for that work. A background server owns the agents' terminal sessions on each machine, so the work survives disconnects, closed lids, and dropped SSH. Herdr detects each agent and turns the chaos into an attention queue - working, blocked, done, across every project - so you look only when an agent needs you. Every client is just a view: the bundled terminal UI, SSH from another machine, your phone. Close one, open another; the work never stops. Software can drive it too: a CLI, a socket API, and a plugin marketplace that passed 500 community plugins in its first month. The runtime is Apache-2.0 and stays open. Four months after launch: 25k GitHub stars, 340k downloads.

Open-source agent runtime for developers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building herdr, the open agent runtime for developers. Devs now run fleets of coding agents at once, across laptops, servers, and sandboxes, and keeping track of what each is doing is chaos. Herdr solves this by running a background server that owns every agent's terminal session on the machine, so work survives disconnects, closed lids, even dropped SSH. It queues agent status (working, blocked, done) across all projects, so you check only when needed. Clients are just views - web, terminal UI, SSH, phone. It has a CLI, socket API, and a plugin system that's already seen strong community traction.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Ankara, Ankara, Turkey. The company would be based there after YC too.

Explain your decision regarding location.

I'm based in Ankara and have built everything here. Being open source and internet-native means location isn't a bottleneck right now.
