Shepherd Terminal - A persistent terminal for Codex and Claude side by side

Hi Product Hunt 👋

I built Shepherd because running multiple coding agents quickly became harder to manage than the code itself. Codex and Claude were spread across terminal windows, and I kept losing track of which agent was working, waiting for input, or already finished.

Shepherd is a persistent macOS workspace designed around coding agents:
- Run Codex and Claude across tabs, panes, and remote machines
- Keep terminal sessions alive even after closing the app
- Monitor every agent’s status in real time
- Let agents understand and control the current Shepherd workspace
- Open connected browser reviews from an agent and return your visual annotations as structured feedback
- Resume previous agent sessions and inspect their files, diffs, and Git history
- Connect to remote development machines over SSH and access their terminals, files, and local services
- Provide local STT model to vibe-code using your own voice

The macOS app is available today for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. I’m also building an iOS companion for monitoring agents, receiving completion or attention alerts, give feedback to agent, control a terminal and reconnecting when away from the Mac.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the agent-monitoring experience and whether Shepherd makes parallel agent work easier to follow.

This is Shepherd’s first public beta, so you may encounter bugs or rough edges. I’ll keep fixing them and exploring better ways to connect coding agents with Shepherd Terminal. Please try it, use it in your real workflow, and leave plenty of comments if you run into a problem or have an idea. Your feedback will directly shape what I build next. Thank you!

Thanks for trying it!

@kojunseo Git history beside the agent context makes a lot of sense.

I can already see this saving me from terminal window chaos.
