In their own words

Herdr

Herdr is a background runtime for keeping coding agents’ terminal sessions available when you move between machines. It brings workspaces, tabs, panes, and agents into one terminal interface, with status labels that distinguish working, blocked, and idle agents. Herdr says it detects 22 agent command-line tools out of the box, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, Copilot, and Hermes. Panes and processes continue running when a client detaches, and saved layouts can be restored after a server restart. Integrations can report session identities for resuming after a restart, and some also report agent state. You can add SSH-accessible machines and view their workspaces alongside local ones. The runtime includes a local socket API and CLI for scripts, tools, and agents. It is free under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Pane screen history is off by default because terminal output may include sensitive information. Herdr Cloud is described as coming soon.

LibreBooking

LibreBooking is an open-source resource scheduling system for organizations that manage reservations. It supports bookings across multiple resources, waitlists and recurring bookings, with check-in for reservations. Role-based access controls, reservation quotas and credits, and granular usage reports help organizations manage access and track use. The interface is described as mobile-friendly and responsive, with custom themes and color schemes. Calendar integration with Outlook and Thunderbird uses ICS; authentication guides cover LDAP, Active Directory, OAuth2 and SAML. An optional RESTful JSON API supports third-party integrations, automation or client applications, and the project provides documentation for custom plugins. Organizations can install a prebuilt release, deploy with Docker, or install manually. Manual installation requires PHP 8.2 or later, Apache 2.4 or later, and MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.6 or later; other web servers are not currently supported or tested. LibreBooking is free, licensed under GPL-3.0, and available for Linux, self-hosted and web use. The README warns that versions earlier than 7.0.0 have a critical vulnerability that can permit unauthenticated administrator account takeover; it says to upgrade to 7.0.0 or later immediately.
