Reconnect from Another Browser or Device

To return to existing TermSquad agent work, sign in on the new device and open Terminal on the same computer as the agent Linux user. Herdr maintains that remote session independently of your original browser connection.

Reconnect step by step

1. Open the TermSquad app on the other device.
2. Sign in with the same account email address.
3. Select the computer that holds your project.
4. Open Terminal.
5. Check the Linux user under Terminal options.
6. Find the workspace, tab, or pane where you left the task.

You should see the current remote session state. A different screen size can change the terminal layout.

If you see a fresh shell

Check the computer and user before starting another agent. The admin web terminal opens an ordinary shell rather than the managed persistent agent session; its work does not have the same reconnection guarantee.

If you connected using SSH, run herdr session list and attach to the appropriate named session. A plain SSH login is not automatically the same context as the browser terminal.

What reconnection cannot recover

Reconnection cannot bring back a process that ended, a computer that was reset, or work lost during a reboot. An agent may support resuming its saved conversation, but that is separate from keeping its process alive.

If two devices are attached to the same session, treat them as views of the same work and avoid entering conflicting commands.

For a connection problem, try Terminal options → Reconnect before considering a computer restart. See terminal troubleshooting and data and session behavior.
