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.
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.
Built with Tauri, using the system WebView instead of bundling Chromium. A small installer, fast startup, native windows, local processes, and system file dialogs.
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.
From download to conversation — the full agent workflow, right on your desktop.
From conversation to runtime management, everything you need is built in.
A complete chat experience built for agent workflows.
The core capabilities that let an agent actually get work done.
Deeply adapted for the Chinese model ecosystem.
Production-grade stability and security, handled by the desktop.
Seven major Chinese model providers built in — just add an API key and go, with no extra network setup.
Workbench, config, skills, models, memory, runtime, logs, chat — in both light and dark.
Free to download, free for non-commercial use. Currently an Alpha preview.

The desktop app is made by the Hermes Agent Chinese Community — 68 WeChat groups, 5,000+ on Feishu, 3,000+ on QQ, plus industry verticals. Trade tips, get tutorials, help build it.
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.

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.
Native support for Volcengine ARK, Baidu Qianfan, Tencent Hunyuan, SiliconFlow, ModelScope, CompShare, LongCat and other Chinese providers; other compatible services can be configured too.
v0.2.2 is in Alpha — APIs, packaging, and UI details may still change. All features are usable today; please report issues via GitHub.
Today we ship Windows x64 and macOS Apple Silicon builds. Linux and Intel Mac are on the roadmap — watch GitHub Releases for future builds.
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.
