Why this app

What a desktop client should be

Hermes Agent already ships a local Dashboard. The desktop app focuses on the native experience around it — lowering the setup barrier while getting stability and security right.

Works out of the box

One-click installation adapted for everyone. Download, install, drop in an API key, and you're going in minutes — no command line, no complex setup.

Lightweight & native

Built with Tauri, using the system WebView instead of bundling Chromium. A small installer, fast startup, native windows, local processes, and system file dialogs.

Production-ready

A built-in independent core with automatic install, update, Ed25519 signature verification, health checks, and one-click rollback. REST, uploads, and SSE all go through a Rust proxy.

FAQ

Things you might wonder

How is this different from the web version / upstream?

Hermes Agent already ships a local Dashboard; this desktop app focuses on the native experience around it: native windows, local process management, system file dialogs, managed runtime install and updates, and a safer REST / SSE proxy layer in production mode. The core lives in Hermes-CN-Core; upstream is the Nous Research Hermes open-source project.

Is it free?

Non-commercial use is free under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. Commercial use, distribution, or inclusion in a commercial product requires a separate commercial license from Qingdao Wanderminds Network Technology Co., Ltd. ([email protected]).

Is my data safe?

The desktop app runs the core and session state locally, and model calls go directly to the providers you configure. In production mode all REST, upload, and SSE traffic goes through a local Rust proxy that centralizes auth — never through a third-party server.

Which models are supported?

Native support for Volcengine ARK, Baidu Qianfan, Tencent Hunyuan, SiliconFlow, ModelScope, CompShare, LongCat and other Chinese providers; other compatible services can be configured too.

Is the Alpha stable?

v0.2.2 is in Alpha — APIs, packaging, and UI details may still change. All features are usable today; please report issues via GitHub.

Linux or Intel Macs?

Today we ship Windows x64 and macOS Apple Silicon builds. Linux and Intel Mac are on the roadmap — watch GitHub Releases for future builds.

Open source & upstream

Built in the open, credit to upstream

The desktop app is developed in the open on GitHub. Its core comes from the Nous Research Hermes project, maintained and enhanced by the Chinese community. Star it, file issues, contribute.
