Always-on-top transparent overlay showing Herdr agent status.

Spiritual successor to claudeye, built for Herdr instead of tmux.

demo

Agents waiting for you (Blocked) or finished (Done) hop up and down, so they stand out at a glance. Rows are ordered like Herdr's priority agent panel — Blocked, Done, Working, then Idle — and idle agents are dimmed.
