Ha Sidebar Navigator
Community
Full-power sidebar navigator & uncapped project/session explorer for Hermes Desktop.
Full-power sidebar navigator & uncapped project/session explorer for Hermes Desktop. Bypasses the 3-session overview cap with searchable, scrollable project trees and timeline view.
Good to know before installing
Browses and acts on sessions of every Hermes profile and connection you pick (rename, archive, delete with confirmation, branch, move to a project, create, including bulk archive/delete/move of selected sessions; renaming or exporting a session that is not open briefly resumes it on that backend and closes it again), exports a session's full transcript as a downloaded JSON file on request, and keeps its own pins, colours, unread marks, tags and saved views in its plugin storage, mirroring pin and colour changes to the Desktop sidebar for the profile the window is showing.
From the plugin's catalog listing.

Kanban Graph
Community
Live, read-only dependency graph of the Hermes kanban boards in Hermes Desktop: every board as a band, tasks as cards, dependencies as arrows with implied ones folded away.
Live, read-only dependency graph of the Hermes kanban boards in Hermes Desktop: every board as a band, tasks as cards, dependencies as arrows with implied ones folded away. Click a task to light up its whole lineage with runs, last failure and the running worker's latest tool calls; deep links open a task directly, and a stdlib CLI renders the same graph as a standalone HTML file. Zero API keys, zero model tokens.
Good to know before installing
Reads every kanban board database and, for running tasks, the assignee profile's state.db (the kanban worker session's latest assistant messages and tool-call arguments), read-only, and shows them in Desktop through its own local dashboard routes.
From the plugin's catalog listing.

Desktop fleet page plus a per-bot Home (status, metrics, alerts, tasks, routines, buttons) published by the bot as JSON.
Good to know before installing
Reads each local profile's home files, can run a declared cron routine from the UI on that bot's profile and credentials, and opens chat, a path, or a URL the bot declared; send_prompt buttons send the shown prompt into the bot's Bot Chat. Bot-declared run_action buttons run a script from the bot's home/actions/ folder: a script runs only after the user approves that exact file (SHA-256), is re-approved if it changes, and is limited to 30s and to that folder, but it runs as your user with the Hermes backend's full environment, including provider keys loaded for the profile Hermes was launched with. Approvals are kept under the Hermes root in bot-hq/approvals/. The `hermes hermes-bot-hq setup` command (asks first unless --yes) links the plugin into every profile's plugins folder and enables it there. No database, signup, or telemetry.

Live per-Bot activity timeline for Hermes Desktop: turns, tool calls (arguments, result, duration), approvals and Group Chat streams, grouped by Bot or by Group Chat, with one-click tracking for new Bots.
Good to know before installing
Local only, no network or telemetry; records every Bot profile's turns, assistant replies, tool arguments and results, approval commands and Group Chat streams (redacted with agent.redact, capped per field, 3-day / 20k-row retention) into one SQLite file shared by all profiles under plugin-data/bot-activity; reads each Bot profile's state.db, profile.yaml and config.yaml read-only; Track now / Update runs `hermes -p <bot> plugins install <same source> --ref <same sha> --enable --yes-deps` (or copies the plugin and runs `plugins enable`) in the Bot profiles you track, never re-enabling one you disabled.

Status-bar chip showing the provider balance and runway tracked by the MIT burnclock CLI, read from its local badge cache. Requires the CLI (pip install burnclock); the plugin makes no network calls and reads no credentials.
Good to know before installing
Runs a read-only shell command (cat of burnclock's local cache file) in your active local session every 60 seconds; balances come from the separately installed burnclock CLI (PyPI `burnclock`), which you configure with your provider keys and run yourself.

A Hermes Desktop theme that follows your wallpaper. Reads Pywal's ~/.cache/wal/colors.json by default, or any palette JSON you point it at (settings page or ~/.config/hermes-wallpaper-theme/config.json), derives a palette with checked contrast floors and repaints live when the file changes. Optional glass mode paints a translucent background for native window materials or compositor blur.
Good to know before installing
The desktop half uses only @hermes/plugin-sdk; the palette file is read by the package's own backend route (dashboard/plugin_api.py, GET /api/plugins/wallpaper-theme/palette, mounted once the plugin is in plugins.enabled), polled every 3 seconds with a change stamp. That route reads only JSON files inside the user's home directory (or XDG_*_HOME) under 256 KiB and returns colour fields only, never raw file text. No network calls, no shell commands, no credentials, no telemetry.

Hermes Desktop session analytics and provider-reported usage: annual heatmaps, token mix, model breakdowns and source-period summaries.
Good to know before installing
Reads the selected profile's state.db read-only and, for the Providers tab, an Activity cache under plugin-data/hermes-activity plus the optional Quota quota_cache.json. Fetch provider data runs a local Node.js (22.18+) collector and, only on that explicit click, calls chatgpt.com through Hermes's signed-in Codex request route (requires_auth: openai-codex) and api.commandcode.ai, opencode.ai and ollama.com with the optional API keys you configure as plugin secrets; it stores usage aggregates and hashed key identifiers locally. No other credential reads, telemetry or sign-in flow; remote profiles go through the configured gateway.

Session status for Hermes Desktop: a thin bar next to every sidebar session with four states — Working (remembers your next step), Waiting on someone (who/what plus a follow-up reminder), Done (outcome plus a fresh-start handoff) and untracked. Suggests 3 next steps per session (instant quick ideas from the chat, opt-in AI ideas from the auxiliary model, priority colours) with one-click Ask, a Power up button that asks a strong model for sharper ideas on demand, and Mark complete to stop suggestions. Adds a Status Board page (columns, follow-ups due, stale sessions, archive all done), triage of untracked sessions, a resume banner above the composer, a status-bar counter, a daily summary, palette commands and English/Arabic (RTL). SDK-only: session-row slots, a route, sidebar nav, status bar, composer banner, palette.
Good to know before installing
No network calls of its own (all model calls go through Hermes llm.oneshot); AI next-step suggestions are OFF by default; when enabled, after new replies (at most every 90 s) the plugin sends the focused session's last ~12 user/assistant messages (≤ ~7,000 chars) plus its title and the user's notes to the auxiliary task title_generation (Hermes default "auto" = your main model); Power up runs only when pressed — also with AI suggestions off — and sends a longer excerpt (last ~20 messages, ≤ ~12,000 chars) to the plugin's own auxiliary tasks waypoint_ideas / waypoint_ideas_2 (registered by __init__.py; unset they resolve to "auto" = your main model) or, for "My chat model", to the open session's model; an optional automatic big idea (off by default) uses the same choice at most every 10 minutes; Power up call log (2.5.0): the Python half also registers two observe-only hooks (pre_auxiliary_call, post_auxiliary_call) that ignore every auxiliary task except waypoint_ideas / waypoint_ideas_2 and, for those, write one line per call to the user's own Hermes log (logs/agent.log) and append a record to <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/waypoint/power-calls.jsonl (rolls over at ~1 MB): model, provi

OpenRouter API-key spend and recorded chat costs in USD/INR.
Good to know before installing
Sends the configured OpenRouter key (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, or the variable named in api_key_env) only to openrouter.ai's read-only key and generation accounting endpoints, and fetches public USD/INR rates from api.frankfurter.dev unless a manual rate is set; middleware on every LLM request records ids, model, token counts and reported cost (no prompt or reply text) to its own ledger; the dashboard reads accounting metadata (session ids, token counts, billing provider) read-only from the state.db and OpenRouter Spend ledger of every profile under the Hermes root.

Git workbench for the Hermes Dashboard and Desktop: discovers the git repositories under the folders you watch, and inspects or changes them per file — stage, unstage, diff and discard — plus commit, push, pull, branches, commits and worktrees.
Good to know before installing
Reads the watch paths from its own SQLite table (under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/project-manager) and git metadata (branch, remote, ahead/behind, commit subjects, status and diff text) from the repositories under them, and lists folder names under any path you type when adding a watch folder; file contents are read only as diff text returned to the requesting UI; the five agent tools are read-only. Writes on request only from the Dashboard/Desktop UI: git add, commit, push, stash (including stash -u before a branch switch), fetch, merge --ff-only (also as "pull all" across every watched repository), restore, clean -f, git switch, and git worktree remove (including --force and remove-all). Discard on a tracked file restores it from HEAD and drops the uncommitted edits; on a file in no commit (untracked or staged-new) it leaves the bytes on disk but nothing here can restore a version of it, and both sit behind a confirmation naming which one you are doing. The Desktop Chat button starts a new Hermes session whose working directory is that project's folder, and the project name and branch chip open the repository's remote URL in your system browser. The optional standalone server (proje

Status-bar popover for Hermes Desktop with three views: Costs (spend, cache, pricing drift, OpenRouter provider routing), AAI (skill changes, ratings, tests and replays) and HDR (a guard for risky tool calls, hooks, destinations, sensitive paths, what runs on its own).
Good to know before installing
Reads this profile's sessions (and other profiles' when you pick them) to audit tool calls, paths and hosts; can edit and save config.yaml and rewrite skill files when you ship or revert a version; AAI replays and judge runs resend conversation context and tool definitions to OpenRouter with your OpenRouter key and incur cost; HDR lists listening TCP ports via ps/lsof; HDR's guard (off by default) checks each tool call through a pre_tool_call hook and, when you turn it on, holds calls Hermes does not check itself (reading keys and logins, writing startup items or key places Hermes does not list) and asks you in its own card or a macOS notification, blocking after up to 20 seconds without an answer or at once when Hermetic is not open, or blocks them outright; the guard is a best-effort match on the paths a call names, not a sandbox; questions from every profile wait in the default profile's hermetic folder; HDR also lists shell and gateway hooks and flags hook scripts edited after approval, keeping a copy of each script to compare.

Kanban worker health in the Desktop status bar — live activity per running card with stall and loop detection (same tool + same arguments repeated), plus a compact per-provider quota readout (the related ai-usage-tracker plugin covers quota windows as a standalone feature). Zero model tokens.
Good to know before installing
Opens HERMES_HOME/kanban.db and each profile's state.db read-only for worker activity; for quota chips it reads every Hermes profile's credential pool (each profile's auth.json, with that profile's .env as secret scope) into read-only snapshots plus DEEPSEEK_API_KEY from the environment or .env files, and calls Hermes' own account-usage fetchers for each configured provider (Anthropic, Codex, OpenRouter, DeepSeek at https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance, and any provider plugin exposing fetch_account_usage), sending each entry's own token only to its own provider. The plugin never refreshes or persists a credential; on a Codex HTTP 401, Hermes core may refresh the active profile's matching Codex token via OpenAI's token endpoint and rewrite that profile's auth.json. No other network egress.

Live token usage, model-aware USD cost and prompt-cache savings in the Hermes Desktop status bar, with a persistent per-day ledger that survives restarts.
Good to know before installing
Desktop only; no network calls of its own (prices come from the gateway's model.options and a bundled models.dev rate table); stores per-day token totals, per-session counters and last-known rates in its own Desktop plugin storage; costs are list-price estimates, not billing data.

A bell in the Hermes desktop composer that pings the ntfy topic Hermes already uses when a turn finishes. Click to cycle off, current turn, or all turns.
Good to know before installing
When enabled, posts the first line of each finished reply plus model, duration, token and cost figures to the ntfy server/topic Hermes is configured with (default ntfy.sh); reads NTFY_* from the profile .env and falls back to the ntfy CLI's ~/.config/ntfy/client.yml login (read-only).

Six-act boot animation for the Hermes desktop app — black-screen brand reveal, over-exposed whiteout bridge, a technical-dossier plate, an authorization handshake with identity confirmation, and a welcome finale — with audio cues, theme-aware light/dark plates and Esc/Enter/Space controls. Desktop-only: desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface; no agent tools, hooks, middleware or env vars. Fully English UI. Adapted from 6shenhonghong9/dsh-startup-screen (MIT).
Good to know before installing
On every Desktop launch (default: once per session) it covers the whole window with a full-screen animation that plays audio and spoken narration and waits for Enter/Space/click on two steps (Esc skips); while it is up it captures Enter/Space/Esc at the document level. Turn it off or switch to daily in its Startup Animation settings page.

Hermes Pickup
Community
Pick up where you left off: up to 10 cards (5 by default) of unfinished work from your recent Hermes chats, project folders and files, each with where you stopped and a one-click next step.
Pick up where you left off: up to 10 cards (5 by default) of unfinished work from your recent Hermes chats, project folders and files, each with where you stopped and a one-click next step. Adapted from Herald OS by Luke (iamlukethedev), MIT.
Good to know before installing
After explicit in-app consent (stored per profile), each Refresh reads recent chats from every profile's session store (read-only; profiles the user skips in Settings are never opened) and sends chat excerpts and metadata, project/file names and paths, git branch/changed-file names and recent commit subjects to the current profile's Hermes LLM route (the auxiliary title-generation model, main provider unless configured); runs read-only git and, on macOS, Spotlight `mdfind`; never reads document contents; writes only $HERMES_HOME/pickup/. The "Next step" button can submit a model-written prompt straight into the card's chat in one click. The optional install.sh, when asked, adds the plugin to every profile's plugins.enabled (undone exactly by uninstall.sh).

Independent Catppuccin Latte/Mocha desktop theme with peach accents, SDK-native gateway/profile switching and host-owned session density. Legacy plugin identity: codex-chat-look. No self-updater or native layout overrides.
Good to know before installing
Desktop theme derived from FPSUnleashed's MIT-licensed desktop skin; switches gateway/profile via host.ensureAgent only on user selection and a palette command rewrites the native sessionListDensity setting; no network calls of its own.

Jev-powered routing for misspelled, shortened, and meaning-based slash commands in the Hermes Desktop composer. Preserves drafts when unsure. Requires a TypeSafe API key; every non-exact lookup uses paid TypeSafe API usage.
Good to know before installing
Every non-exact slash token is sent through the plugin's local backend to api.typesafe.ai (paid, your TYPESAFE_API_KEY) together with the Desktop command catalog (names and descriptions), any prior route, up to 8 saved correction explanations and any clarification you type into its panel; message arguments and conversation content are not sent; the backend reads HERMES_HOME/.env only to check whether TYPESAFE_API_KEY is set.

Codex-style ask-about-selection for Hermes Desktop: select text anywhere in a conversation, and a small pill appears above the selection offering Quote & ask — the selection lands in the message composer as a Markdown quote with the caret on the line below, ready for your question — or Copy, which puts the same Markdown quote on the clipboard. A command-palette entry does the same without the pill. Desktop-only (desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface): no agent tools, hooks, middleware or env vars, nothing written to disk, nothing persisted.
Good to know before installing
Reads window.getSelection() and the selection rectangle; serializes the selection to Markdown (fenced code with its language, nested lists, bold/italic, links), cut at 4000 characters; writes the draft through host.composer (getDraft/setDraft, falling back to insertText, then ctx.os.writeClipboard) and focuses the composer; ignores selections made inside the composer itself and hides on collapse, scroll or Escape. No network calls, no credentials, no telemetry.

Hermes Call Ledger
Community
Per-call cost ledger for Hermes Desktop: every model call Hermes makes is recorded from the observer hooks (provider, model, tokens, duration, outcome) and paired with the charge the billing provider actually took.
Per-call cost ledger for Hermes Desktop: every model call Hermes makes is recorded from the observer hooks (provider, model, tokens, duration, outcome) and paired with the charge the billing provider actually took; works with no billing account, priced by Hermes' own estimate where the price book knows the model. English or Vietnamese; dong or dollars.
Good to know before installing
Three observer hooks (post_api_request, post_auxiliary_call, api_request_error) record per-call metadata from every profile in the install (session id, platform, task, provider, model, token counts, duration, finish reason, context length; never prompt, response or tool-argument text) into one shared SQLite ledger at <install root>/plugin-data/call-ledger/calls.sqlite, and import this plugin's own older per-profile ledgers into it once. It caches the vilao.ai model list there and the USD-to-VND rate under the active profile's plugin-data/call-ledger. Network is GET-only: vilao.ai (wallet balance, per-request usage, consumer keys) with VILAO_PAT read through Hermes's secret scope (vilao issues one full-scope token per account, including wallet writes; this plugin only reads), the public vilao.ai model list with no credential, and open.er-api.com for the dollar rate. The first full billing pull pages back through up to ten years of the account's usage. Nothing runs while the Desktop page is closed. Derived from hermes-resetwatch (Adolanium, MIT).

Larger or smaller text in the Hermes Desktop file preview pane: scales the rendered Markdown from 90% to 175%, independent of Chat Text Size and UI Scale, through a row in Settings → Appearance, three command-palette entries and rebindable shortcuts (⌘⌥=, ⌘⌥-, ⌘⌥0 on macOS; unbound by default on Windows and Linux, where Ctrl+Alt is AltGr). The Source and Diff views keep their size.
Good to know before installing
Desktop-only (desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface); appends one stylesheet that sets CSS zoom on the preview's [data-preview-markdown] element, removed on disable, so a Desktop release that renames that attribute turns the plugin into a no-op; stores the chosen size in plugin storage; no network calls, credentials, shell commands, background processes or telemetry.

Kanban-style prompt queue for the desktop: Play drains cards one at a time into per-card target modes — new session, existing session, project, or a profile's canonical Bot Chat — gated on the global model slot, background-review completion, and context compaction. Queue/Done/Skipped/ Failed tabs, two-row target picker, markdown ingest (Windows), and a trust-aware ::enqueue directive (ask-first by default).
Good to know before installing
Desktop pane that runs queued prompts as full agent turns (all tools the session allows) in new or chosen existing sessions, projects it can create, or a hidden per-profile "Bot Chat" session while Play is on; reads recent agent.log lines to detect background reviews and context compaction; on Windows the markdown-ingest menu runs local shell commands (mkdir, dir, certutil, explorer, and python on a small bundled reader script it writes into the chosen folder) through Hermes's shell.exec; an opt-in Auto-add setting lets ::enqueue directives in a live assistant reply queue prompts that run without a click.

Good to know before installing
Renderer-only; polls filtered read-only tails of agent.log via host.logs to parse lifecycle markers; listens for review.summary/message.start/message.complete events; stores three small plugin-storage records (settings + last compaction + last review); no network calls beyond the local gateway, no credential access, no self-update.
