One light. Three colors.

A small light sits on the right edge of your screen. It shows the most urgent state of all your herdr agents, on every Space and over full-screen apps.

Blue

Your agents are working. Nothing needs you.

Red

An agent waits for an answer. The light glows and nudges out of the edge.

Green

A job is done. Hover to read what the agent did.

Answer without a terminal switch.

Hover over the light to open the panel. Answer the agent there, then go back to your work.

See the question

The panel shows the question the agent asks, with one button for each option.

Answer with one key

Press 1–9 to select an option, or type a free-text reply.

Read the summary

A finished agent shows a short summary of its work, from its transcript.

Jump to the agent

Click a card to open that agent's pane in herdr.

Recent agents first

Agent names follow the title of their work. The most recent agents are at the top.

Six palettes

Default, Pastel, Neon, Sunset, Ocean and Mono. Pick one in the panel footer.

Install

Download the app for macOS 14 or later. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Download Herdr-Glow-0.1.1-macos.zip from the latest release.
Unzip it and move Herdr-Glow.app to /Applications.
Run this command in Terminal. The app is not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks it until you remove the quarantine flag.
```
xattr -cr /Applications/Herdr-Glow.app
```
Open the app. The light appears on the right edge of your main screen.

To build from source, clone the repository and run scripts/bundle.sh. You need a Swift 6 toolchain (Xcode or the Command Line Tools).

Requirements: macOS 14 or later and herdr running. The app connects to the herdr socket at $HERDR_SOCKET_PATH, or ~/.config/herdr/herdr.sock.
