Could you build this?
Partial The UI shell is buildable, but a native Mac terminal client that attaches to live multiplexed sessions needs a full terminal emulator and the Herdr protocol, which are hard to vibe-code reliably.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app (Swift/AppKit or SwiftUI) that embeds a terminal emulator view (such as SwiftTerm), then connects to Herdr's session server locally or over SSH and multiplexes tabs and panes. The hard parts are a correct VT/xterm emulator with resize, mouse, and Unicode handling, and reproducing Herdr's attach protocol for shared live state. This needs an engineer comfortable with terminal internals and macOS app development, plus access to Herdr's protocol details.
