Why this app
What a desktop client should be
Lightweight & native
Built with Tauri. A small installer, fast startup, native windows, local processes, and system file dialogs.
Production-ready
A built-in independent Hermes Agent core with Ed25519 signature verification, health checks, and one-click rollback. REST, uploads, and SSE all go through a Rust proxy.

Upgrading from v0.7.0: quit the app and download the matching installer. On Mac, replace the existing app; on Windows, install over it. No uninstall or data deletion is needed. Portable users should keep the data folder.
RC and internal test builds should be upgraded manually with the stable installer. Channel and source settings are preserved. To receive stable updates, select Stable and reset custom or testing sources to the default under Software Update → Advanced update options.
Windows, macOS, and Linux packages include the Hermes-CN-Core runtime. On first launch, the app initializes from the bundled runtime first; managed download/update is used for upgrades or fallback repair.
Requires macOS 14 or later. Official installers are Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple.
Windows installers do not use a commercial code-signing certificate, so Windows may show an unknown publisher. In-app updates are verified using the project’s signing key.

FAQ
Things you might wonder
How is this different from the web version / upstream?
This project is the desktop shell for Hermes Agent, adding native windows, local process management, system file dialogs, a managed runtime, runtime diagnostics, and a safer REST / SSE proxy layer in production mode. The agent runtime and Dashboard source live in Hermes-CN-Core; upstream is the Nous Research Hermes open-source project.
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, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Zhipu GLM, MiniMax, Moonshot Kimi, SiliconFlow, ModelScope, UCloud AI Computing, plus local Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, and llama.cpp deployments; other compatible services can be configured too.
Linux or Intel Macs?
Yes. We ship Windows x64, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, plus Linux x64 as both .deb and AppImage packages.
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.
