Herdr has been my daily driver for about a month now. It cant auto-name sessions like every other multiplexer though. That one stupid feature is so valuable I'm considering moving on.

Where are you looking to move to? I agree that it seems like an obvious feature to be missing.

    Thanks for mentioning it. Glad to see it's by @mitchellh. Excited! Personally I'm a fan of the inline textbased window(tab)/session style in Tmux and not native tab bars etc. but we'll see.

They have a plugin ecosystem, one of which is auto-named sessions. I imagine implementing your own wouldn't be too difficult either, if that one doesn't meet your standards of trust. You could even just make a harness hook in Claude or Codex after installing the Herdr skill, telling the LLM itself to update names on start. Heck, I think this works via the plugin system?

  Look at that: https://github.com/kryptamine/herdr-auto-title https://github.com/kryptamine/herdr-auto-title I must say I didn't know this existed. I looked into having the LLM name herdr sessions but found that tabs aren't addressable - the agent doesn't know which tab it's running in to target it for renaming. The plugin is interesting and the defaults are terrible, but I think I could get what I need here. Thanks for your comment!

I've had no problem just asking an agent to do this. Just run !herdr --skill and ask any agent tab to rename all the sessions to something meaningful (use a cheap model if cost is an issue). Or vibe code a script for this. I use pi so I just use a random cached session for this and rewind using /tree after (using local models so I don't care much about tokens).
