Brief

Hermes Desktop is a cross-platform native client (macOS, Windows, Linux) now in public preview that auto-syncs chats, skills, and configs with zero migration. Its Remote Gateway mode connects to backends on a Mac Mini or any server/VPS so heavy agents run remotely while delivering native performance — addressing @code_rams' tab-switching, speed, and config-sync pain points.

Source evidence

Pain Point I feel daily is,
1. Switching between browser tabs when running agents across multiple machines wastes time
2. The web version lacks native speed and feel
3. Setting up remote environments (Mac Mini, VPS) makes config syncing difficult
4. Daily Hermes users lose productivity without a polished desktop experience

This release directly addresses these pain points.

Hermes Desktop benefits:

  1. Full native desktop app - chats, skills, and configs come along automatically
  2. Remote Gateway mode is fully supported - point it at a backend running on Mac Mini or any server
  3. Available on all platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  4. Zero migration for existing users - just download and log in

This desktop version will be especially useful for client work involving multiple agent setups. The remote gateway mode is particularly valuable since heavy agents run on a Mac Mini in my current workflow.

Looking forward to a more stable version soon. Already testing the public preview.
