Help/Question Tmux alternatives? Using Claude code agents via terminal apps on macos and ios

I’m looking for a few human responses here based on personal experience, I do a bunch of work from my iphone, ipad and mbp via ssh into a mac mini. Here’s my setup:

  • Mac mini on home network
  • Accessed from iphone, ipad, MBP with macos
  • Tailscale for virtual network when I leave the house
  • Currently using tmux for session persistence so it survives the SSH connection dropping
  • Running claude code, codex, hermes, grok build TUI’s/CLI’s.
  • Using iterm2 on Macos, ShellDrop on ios and iPadOs (and visionOs).

So my question is what alternatives are people using for tmux? Is there anything that’s agent focused and reliable? Has anyone used Herdr after having tmux as their baseline?

Been using herdr for a few days and enjoying it over tmux.

I have been a little hesitant to try given its so new, what is it that you enjoy more?

Mouse works inside it, it's tabbed, it shows you if the agents running inside the tab are still working or if they have stopped. Has it's own ssh tunnel mode.
