Really happy to see this!

herdr is by far the most polished tool in its category. Software geared towards agents is usually vibe coded -- and you can tell. There will be bugs and edge cases and it feels like no thought/care was put into it.

herdr doesn't feel that way to me. The marketing/landing page definitely has LLM-isms, but the application itself is very stable and well thought out.

A true UI is the next logical step and they seem to have done the obvious things. The one surprising bit that nobody seems to be talking about (yet) is the entire UI looks like its controlled via "recipes", so you can customize the UI in ways that you couldn't with traditional software: https://herdr.dev/layouts/

I hope this means an official mobile app is on the horizon!

Playing with this for a bit, the customization you can do is really cool. You can spin up an agent, tell it to add some functionality, and it all reloads instantly.

For example, I wanted to be able to hide chats from providers when my usage is out for the 5h/weekly period

I'm not sure how they're doing this considering it seems to be written in Rust

You probably haven’t tried Superlogical Rex then.
