Alpha. Linux is the only host where sending and receiving have been run. macOS and Windows binaries are built and have not been executed. Herdr plugins on Windows are still a preview.

Install

Windows, in PowerShell. This downloads simplex-windows-amd64.exe from this release and checks SHA256SUMS. Go is not required. Windows amd64 only.

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticfoxweb/simplex-herdr/main/install.ps1 | iex

Linux and macOS:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcticfoxweb/simplex-herdr/main/install.sh | sh

Open a new terminal if simplex is not found, then restart Herdr once so the plugin startup hook runs.

simplex install then downloads the official simplex-chat binary from SimpleX and prints its sha256. That program is not attached to this release.

In this build

  • One SimpleX profile per agent, with a local daemon and inbox
  • Herdr plugin simplex.agents: attach, status, and send
  • Delivery into an idle Herdr pane
  • Direct messages, files, and send-by-name to a group you already joined
  • Small terminal QR of the short contact link
  • stdio MCP server

Not in this build

  • Creating a group, inviting members, or joining from the CLI
  • Voice or video
  • A license

Compare SHA256SUMS with the downloaded binary before you trust it.
