πŸŒ‘ PoorMad v0.18.0 β€” When the light is blocked, the stars align.

Desktop installers for Windows and macOS, built from the new PoorMad house theme.

What's new in the desktop app

  • PoorMad Dark is now the default theme β€” space-black surface with a violet/lavender nebula accent and the pixel-moon brand. (Previously the app booted into the Hermes/nous GitHub-fork look.)
  • Brand mark switched to the PoorMad pixel moon (replaces the upstream Hermes mark).
  • 8 mono-hue sci-fi/superhero themes, each with its own matching font and a unique app title: J.A.R.V.I.S. (cyan), STARK OS (amber), AETHER-9 (teal), NIGHT CITY (magenta), LUMEN (violet), UNIT-7 (steel-teal), POORMAD (pixel violet), VANGUARD (gold).
  • All existing features unchanged: sidebar, chat + composer, status bar, theme picker, profile switching.

Install

  • Windows: PoorMad-0.18.0-win-x64.exe (NSIS installer) or .msi
  • macOS (Apple Silicon): PoorMad-0.18.0-mac-arm64.dmg

Note

This release is a manual build. Auto-update is not yet wired in β€” download the installer for each new version.

@Tayyaba22 Tayyaba22 released this 28 Aug 13:38

PoorMad v0.1.0 β€” "Poor in cost. Mad in capability."

The first public release of PoorMad: the agent with a learning loop that runs on a $5 VPS but outperforms setups 100Γ— its price.

Identity

  • Pure-wordmark banner β€” a bold glowing POORMAD on a deep violet nebula gradient with sparse stars. Clean, premium, zero borrowed motifs.
  • Tagline: Poor in cost. Mad in capability. β€” a name-driven identity unique to this product.
  • Fully rebranded surface β€” the shell, TUI, prompt, spinner, tool glyphs, and favicon are all PoorMad's own. No Hermes residue, anywhere.

Themes β€” make it yours

PoorMad ships with 13 distinct, fully-branded terminal themes. Switch live with /skin <name>. Each has its own box chrome, hero art, animated spinner, and color story:

  • poormad-dark (house theme) β€” space-black + violet nebula, rounded frame.
  • jarvis β€” cyan ARC-reactor HUD, rounded neon, reactor-core spinner.
  • ironman β€” red & gold armored HUD, heavy ┏━ frame, charging-bar spinner.
  • agentic-os β€” matrix-green terminal OS, raw ASCII frame, boot-sequence hero.
  • aurora β€” animated violet↔teal nebula, double frame, breathing spinner.
  • Plus 8 more built-ins (ares, mono, slate, daylight, warm-lightmode, poseidon, sisyphus, charizard).
/skin aurora      # animated accent that breathes violet β†’ teal
/skin ironman     # red/gold HUD for that armored feel
/skin jarvis      # cool cyan reactor
/skin agentic-os  # green terminal-OS aesthetic

What PoorMad is

PoorMad gets smarter the longer you run it. It creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or the CLI β€” one gateway, any LLM.

Use any model you want β€” PoorMad Portal (300+ models), OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, local models, or your own endpoint. Switch with poormad model β€” no code changes, no lock-in.

Highlights

  • Runs anywhere β€” a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle.
  • A real terminal interface β€” full TUI with multiline editing, slash-command autocomplete, conversation history, interrupt-and-redirect, and streaming tool output.
  • Lives where you do β€” Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI from a single gateway process. Voice memo transcription, cross-platform continuity.
  • A closed learning loop β€” agent-curated memory with periodic nudges, autonomous skill creation, self-improving skills, FTS5 session search with LLM summarization, and Honcho dialectic user modeling.
  • Scheduled automations β€” built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform, all in natural language.
  • Delegates and parallelizes β€” spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams.
  • Pixel-art identity β€” banner, logo, favicon, and CLI/TUI ASCII art, all generated in-repo.
