Description
Running an AI coding agent locally is great until you step away from your desk and want to check whether it's still working, blocked waiting for input, or finished — without opening a laptop and SSH-ing in. Shepherdr solves that specific problem: it's a phone-friendly web dashboard for the Herdr agent-orchestration framework, so you can glance at your agents' status and even type a response to an agent asking for input, straight from your phone.
Shepherdr is a self-hosted companion web UI (Go backend, Node.js frontend) for Herdr, a local agent orchestration framework. It connects to your machine over a private Tailscale network and shows real-time agent status (working, blocked, idle, done, unknown), gives you terminal-style text and file input to respond to agents, manages multiple workspaces, and pushes notifications when an agent gets blocked or finishes a task. Authentication is passkey-based (no passwords), and it ships as multi-platform binaries (Linux x86_64/ARM64, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon). It requires Herdr 0.8.0–0.8.2 running on the same machine, so it's not a standalone product — it's an accessory for people already running Herdr. Apache 2.0 licensed, actively maintained at version 0.1.1.
💬 Our review
The short version: Shepherdr is a small, focused convenience layer for people already running Herdr agents locally — worth installing if that's you and you want phone access to your agents, irrelevant if you don't already use Herdr, since it doesn't do anything on its own.
There isn't a close direct competitor because it's purpose-built for one specific framework (Herdr), unlike general-purpose LLM-ops dashboards like LangSmith or a multi-agent console like Mastra's, which monitor different agent stacks entirely and won't work with Herdr. Its value is narrow but real: passkey auth, Tailscale-based remote access, and push notifications solve the exact annoyance of not knowing if your local agent finished or got stuck. Being free and open source, there's no cost decision to weigh — the only real question is whether you're in the Herdr ecosystem at all. Worth it for Herdr users wanting mobile visibility; not applicable otherwise. <!-- ai-generated -->
