Hermes Taskbar Badge
Windows taskbar badge on the Hermes window when a turn finishes. Calls navigator.setAppBadge on the message.complete event while the window is in the background, and clears it when the window regains focus or another session is opened.
Good to know before installing
No network calls and no data leaves the machine; the badge is drawn by the app's own Electron process, which maps the Chromium Badging API onto the Windows taskbar overlay.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-taskbar-badge - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-taskbar-badge - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
