A Blogwatcher inbox for Hermes Desktop and web, with themes, read controls and on-demand AI summaries.

## Good to know before installing

Runs the original Blogwatcher CLI against its database; scans contact subscribed sites; requested summaries fetch public pages and send text to the configured Hermes model after consent, which may incur costs. Summaries are cached locally. No telemetry or self-update.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## 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 hermes-blogwatcher
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-blogwatcher
```

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
