Hermes HUD Desktop Alpha 0.1.0 — Your local window into Hermes

Native macOS app · Apple Silicon (arm64) only · local-first, read-only

Hermes HUD Desktop puts Hermes right on your desktop — a real macOS app
that discovers your Hermes Agent, connects to your Dashboard, and brings
everything into one window:

  • 📍 Agent Timeline — what your agent did, in order (sessions, skills, tools, incidents).
  • 📊 Skill Analytics — which skills actually ran, success rates, coverage truth.
  • 💰 Cost Intelligence — honest estimated-cost view: pricing coverage and attribution-aware windows.
  • 🖥 Health, sessions, cron, channels, errors & incidents — the full HUD.

Requirements

  • Hermes Agent ≥ 0.19.0 with the Hermes HUD plugin ≥ 1.1.1 (API schema = 1 — the first official HUD release providing this contract).
  • macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) only.
  • The Desktop app is a window into your existing Hermes setup — it does not install Hermes Agent.

Signed & notarized

  • Signed with Developer ID (Developer ID Application: wen luo (R49V6YUC3X)).
  • Apple notarized and stapled — Gatekeeper accepts it with no "Open Anyway" / right-click bypass.

Local-first & read-only

  • Desktop observability data stays local; the Desktop app sends no outbound telemetry.
  • Hermes core data is read-only.
  • The HUD page has zero native capability (no shell, no filesystem, no arbitrary commands).
  • Web HUD remains fully supported — Desktop is an additional surface, not a replacement.

Automatic

  • Discovers Hermes on your machine.
  • Connects to an already-running Dashboard, or safely starts the local Dashboard for you (never a second instance, fixed safe command).
  • Menu-bar tray: Open / Retry / Quit.

Alpha notes

  • No auto-updater yet — this is an early Alpha; please report issues.

  • Known limitation (multi-user Macs): the Dashboard listens on localhost, which is a machine-local boundary, not a per-macOS-user boundary. In this Alpha, another local account on the same Mac may be able to reach an already-running Dashboard. Do not treat untrusted local macOS accounts as isolated from HUD data.

  • The Desktop release source archive is a provenance snapshot; the supported HUD plugin is v1.1.1 or later and is versioned separately.

Install

Download Hermes-HUD-Desktop-0.1.0-macOS-arm64.dmg, double-click, drag Hermes HUD into Applications, launch. No Terminal required.
