Hermes Desktop is the official desktop application for NousResearch's Hermes agent framework. It provides a native GUI for managing, configuring, and running Hermes agents locally. The app includes a visual workflow builder, agent configuration interface, and real-time monitoring of agent execution. Built for developers who want the power of Hermes agents without command-line tooling.
Hermes Desktop is the GUI companion to NousResearch’s Hermes agent framework, which has become one of the most popular open-source agent systems. The desktop app provides a visual interface for building, configuring, and running Hermes agents without touching the command line. The project has reached 10k+ GitHub stars with +417 stars/day velocity.
The application includes a drag-and-drop workflow builder for constructing multi-step agent pipelines, a configuration panel for adjusting model parameters and tool access, and a real-time execution view that shows agent reasoning and tool calls as they happen. Agents run locally on your machine with no cloud dependency.
Hermes Desktop works with any model supported by the Hermes framework, including local models via Ollama and cloud APIs. It integrates with the broader Hermes ecosystem of tools and plugins. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
