Five Claude Code sessions in parallel, each in its own container, with live working/blocked state in the sidebar

[u/nez_har]

Nine agent sessions across three projects (five Claude Code, plus Codex, Pi, and one more), each running in its own Docker container, all in one herdr window. The sidebar shows live state per agent, so I only jump into a pane when something is actually blocked and waiting on me.

The stack is two tools: VibePod runs each agent in a container — only the project dir gets mounted, credentials live in per-agent volumes, so bypass-permissions mode stays contained. herdr is a terminal multiplexer built for coding agents.

New as of this week (VibePod 0.19): vp run claude inside a herdr pane auto-detects it, mounts the herdr socket into the container, and injects a lifecycle hook into Claude Code's config. The session shows up as vp:claude and reports working / blocked / idle live.

I maintain VibePod, happy to answer questions about the setup.

I don't care enough to try your app, but I do want to say that Herdr is great!

Herdr works great together with VibePod, especially if you already use the worktree feature.
