penso/herdr-gpui is a native desktop client built with Rust and the GPUI framework for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Instead of wrapping a traditional terminal emulator, it paints the terminal cells, split panes, and workspaces of a self-hosted Herdr daemon directly on screen. It includes features like remote SSH host tracking, inline image rendering, browser tab annotations, and code navigation that jumps straight to your editor.
It is worth a look if you already run the Herdr daemon and want a dedicated GUI that avoids browser bloat or TUI wrappers. The catch is that it is strictly an unaffiliated client with no backend control, meaning you still have to install and manage the underlying daemon yourself. If you rely entirely on standard terminal multiplexers or web interfaces, the setup overhead will likely outweigh the benefits.
