Hermes Desktop is a native macOS (Swift/SwiftUI) companion app for managing a Hermes Agent host, either locally or over pure SSH. It provides a unified window for sessions, chat, terminal, Kanban tasks, cron jobs, skills, workspace files, memory, and usage without gateways, daemons, or synced mirrors.

Use cases

  • manage my hermes agent from a mac app
  • run hermes agent sessions over ssh from my desktop
  • edit hermes agent skills and memory files with a gui
  • view hermes agent kanban board and cron jobs natively on macos
  • chat with an ai agent running on a remote server from my mac
  • monitor hermes agent token usage and sessions
  • launch saved agent workflow presets in a terminal tab

When to choose

  • you use Hermes Agent daily and want a native Mac interface instead of the CLI or a browser
  • you need to manage a Hermes host on a Raspberry Pi, VPS, or another Mac over SSH without exposing ports or gateways
  • you want sessions, files, skills, cron jobs, and a real terminal in one focused window
  • you run multiple Hermes profiles or multi-agent workflows and need profile-aware tooling

When to avoid

  • you don't use Hermes Agent — this app is a client specifically for Hermes, not a general SSH or agent manager
  • you need a cross-platform or Linux/Windows desktop client
  • you want a web-based or browser-accessible dashboard for your agent host
