How to get push alerts when an agent needs input with Herdr Web UI

Receive a phone alert when an agent asks a question or finishes, even with the app closed.

Short answer: Install the client with curl -fsSL https://herdrweb.dev/install.sh | sh on the PC that runs herdr; then open the app on a secure address such as http://127.0.0.1:7317 or an HTTPS address, since installation and push need a secure context; Allow notifications for the installed app on your phone when the browser asks. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who starts long agent tasks in herdr and wants to leave the desk without checking the terminal.

The problemAn agent waits for a reply or completes a task unnoticed while the developer works on something else.

The outcomeThe phone receives a push alert when an agent needs input or finishes, and a tap opens the pending question.

What you need first

  • herdr 0.9.0 or newer on the computer that runs the agents
  • Linux with glibc (x64 or arm64), macOS (Intel or Apple Silicon), or Windows x64 with Git for Windows
  • curl, Git and tar installed on Linux or macOS; the installer adds Bun 1.4+ and Node 18+ for your user if they are missing
  • Tailscale or another route to your PC if you want to reach it from a phone

Steps

  1. Install the client with curl -fsSL https://herdrweb.dev/install.sh | sh on the PC that runs herdr.
  2. Open the app on a secure address such as http://127.0.0.1:7317 or an HTTPS address, since installation and push need a secure context.
  3. Allow notifications for the installed app on your phone when the browser asks.
  4. Start an agent task in a herdr pane and leave the app closed on the phone.
  5. When the alert arrives, tap it to open the pending question in the chat.

Prompt for your agent

Use the repo devswha/herdr-web-ui. Confirm that push alerts are set up for this PC, then report the address the client uses and whether it is a secure context. Expected output: a short status with the address and a yes or no for push readiness. Verify the address uses HTTPS or localhost before saying push is ready.

Caveat. Push alerts need a secure context such as HTTPS or localhost, and the README does not describe how to set up HTTPS for a phone, so check your own route before relying on alerts.
