One-click access to the Hermes Web Dashboard (127.0.0.1:9119) from the Desktop app — sidebar row, in-app page that loads itself when the server comes up, and a status-bar chip with a live dot. Front-end only: no agent calls, no tokens, no API keys.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install dashboard-button
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable dashboard-button
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
