Kanban Live Gantt
Community
Live, now-centered Gantt timeline for the Hermes kanban boards — a slidable, persisted 72 h window (default now -24h -> now +48h.
Live, now-centered Gantt timeline for the Hermes kanban boards — a slidable, persisted 72 h window (default now -24h -> now +48h; drag to move, drag the ends to resize), free wheel zoom down to hour ticks, a now line, status filtering, an optional done lane, and lifecycle rendering (dashed waiting vs solid run spans at real durations). Fork of kanban-gantt (GPL-3.0).
Good to know before installing
The backend can transition, reassign, comment on and permanently delete kanban tasks on any board (Desktop asks for confirmation before deletes); local SQLite only, no network.

Provider-native Claude and Codex remaining allowance windows in the Hermes Desktop status bar.
Good to know before installing
Spawns the local `codex app-server` and `claude auth status` CLIs and reads the Claude OAuth token read-only through Hermes core; the optional install.sh (not part of the catalog install) edits the statusLine in ~/.claude/settings.json; macOS only.

Fleet control for Hermes Desktop: live statusbar chip (N/M IOWAP nodes online), a draggable fleet pane, a full fleet page (status, load, queue depth, capabilities per node, activity) and a tasks page that submits to any task-type capability on the fleet and tracks submitted tasks live (per-stage status dots, result previews, artifacts). Data stays local via the local node-cli against your own IOWAP relay; agent sessions join through an optional iowap-task bridge into a shared track store.
Good to know before installing
The dashboard backend runs the local node-cli (the IOWAP node client from github.com/iowap-org/iowap-node) to read your relay's node list, capabilities and task results, and to submit tasks you start from the Tasks page to nodes on your IOWAP fleet. Relay health also goes through the local node-cli (`server health`) — the plugin itself makes no raw HTTP calls to the relay; node identity comes from the node's own ~/.relay state files. Tracked task ids are stored in your Hermes home under plugin-data/iowap/.

Session command tray — shell commands the Hermes agent ran via the terminal tool (success and failure). Desktop pane and /commands. No API keys.
Good to know before installing
Records terminal commands with exit code, workdir and a 160-char redacted output preview to $HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/command-tray/state.json; the Desktop pane inserts text through Hermes Desktop's internal hermes:composer-insert event (not a public SDK API) with clipboard fallback; no network.

Native Hermes Agent plugin that runs the local Atoll notch monitor for Hermes session and turn status on macOS.
Good to know before installing
MacOS only. Starts a detached Node daemon on every Hermes session that reads state.db read-only and sends session titles, model/profile/token stats and a ≤96-char redacted preview of your latest request to the third-party Atoll notch app over localhost. hermes notch setup clones and builds the author's Atoll fork (github.com/himanusia/Atoll at a pinned commit, not reviewed here) with Xcode and installs an unnotarized app to ~/Applications. Node deps install via Hermes's npm ci prompt. Run hermes notch stop before removing.

Off-Peak Watch (offpeak-bekci)

Makes Ollama Cloud's off-peak window visible and actionable in Hermes: a desktop status-bar chip shows the countdown and the queue item counts (Ollama off-peak hours: weekdays 18:00-12:00 UTC, weekends one block), a one-shot notice fires 30 minutes before the window opens, and approval is taken only from the user (`/offpeak-onayla <id,id>`) — work runs only if approved, and items never enter the queue by themselves. `/offpeak-durum` prints a readable report by default (machine-readable JSON with `/offpeak-durum json`), and `/offpeak-kur` prints the cron job it would install in full plus a `plan_hash`; nothing is installed without a hash-bound approval typed by the user, and the plugin never writes the cron store. One `llm_execution` middleware measures the call rate for Ollama Cloud calls during the peak window and ships measure-only (`kuru_kosu: true`): it records what it would delay and never delays. No network calls, no telemetry, no credential reads; the only local files it touches are the queue ledger, its own JSONL measurement log, and a read-only look at the profile's cron/jobs.json. Output language is English by default; `dil: tr` selects Turkish. Auto-delivery is host-dependent: in a classic CLI session the request enters the agent queue; on the Ink TUI / desktop-panel host the core asks for a persistent `session_key`, which the command handler does not receive, so the command prints the parameters as a single line of JSON. Injecting into a gateway additionally requires `plugins.entries.offpeak-bekci.allow_gateway_injection: true` (default off); the only in-process way to read that key is the private `gateway.session_context` module (rule 9 -> not used). Requires Hermes >= 0.22.2.
Good to know before installing
The llm_execution middleware can sleep Ollama Cloud calls during the peak window once `kuru_kosu: false` is set (default is measure-only); it writes a JSONL measurement log and, on `/offpeak-onayla`, rewrites the user's queue file; it reads the profile's cron/jobs.json read-only (on `/offpeak-durum`, `/offpeak-kaldir` and at every session end) to count enabled queue-consumer jobs; `/offpeak-kur` and `/offpeak-kaldir` leave cron install/removal requests in the session (or, with `allow_gateway_injection: true`, inject them into the gateway) for the agent's own cron tool to act on; no network calls, no credential reads, never writes the cron store.

Multi-repo GitHub issues & PRs in an Orca-style Tasks view for Hermes Desktop.
Good to know before installing
Uses your logged-in `gh` CLI and `git` through Hermes Desktop's shell bridge, or a GitHub token you paste in the panel (stored unencrypted in Desktop plugin storage, sent only to api.github.com); scans your configured clone folders for GitHub repos and reads skill names under ~/.hermes; polls the active-session list of every Hermes profile every 10 seconds for status chips; approve, close, reopen, comment and merge act on GitHub from the panel; creates git worktrees and opens Hermes sessions seeded with the issue/PR title and body as fenced untrusted text, and without a shell bridge asks the agent to run the worktree git commands.

Store a secret on the gateway host without showing it to the model.
Good to know before installing
Stores the value in plaintext in the profile .env (mode 0600) and adds the name to terminal.env_passthrough, so $NAME is available to the terminal tool; the model can still read the value with its own tools (cat .env, echo $NAME). Keeps secrets out of chat/prompt context and redacts verbatim output of credential-shaped values; it is not a boundary against a model that deliberately reads it. Adds a static system-prompt section and a /secret command. Imports private core helpers read-only (_config_profile_scope, _is_hermes_provider_credential, _CONFIG_LOCK).

Session Find
Community
A search window over your Hermes session history, opened with Cmd+Option+F, from the command palette, or from the glyph in the bottom bar whose hover shows the chord.
A search window over your Hermes session history, opened with Cmd+Option+F, from the command palette, or from the glyph in the bottom bar whose hover shows the chord. Finds a session by an exact word, identifier or phrase through the gateway's own full text index, and by meaning as well when a session-find service answers on loopback; typed filters (in:, -in:, after:, before:, me:, repo: and quoted phrases) are mirrored as chips under the box. The empty box lists pinned then recent sessions, the preview pane shows the matching message with its neighbours, and the footer carries the round trip in whole milliseconds. It reads the session database read only, registers no agent tools, hooks or middleware, needs no credentials or environment variables; its only network calls are the loopback checks named below. The window half ships off by default and is switched on in the app's plugin inventory.
Good to know before installing
While the search window is in use, the plugin's dashboard backend checks every 30 seconds for a separate session-find service at http://127.0.0.1:8474 (or the URL in SESSION_FIND_URL) and, when one answers, sends it your search text, preview requests and the ids of sessions you open, and shows the results it returns; otherwise it reads your Hermes session database read-only.

Delete and package skills, browse their markdown files, and save per-profile on/off presets from one Settings page.
Good to know before installing
Deleting a skill from its page moves the skill folder out of `<HERMES_HOME>/skills` (on Windows to the Recycle Bin by running `powershell.exe`, elsewhere to `<HERMES_HOME>/better-capabilities-trash/`); applying a preset switches skills, toolsets and agent plugins on or off, including for other profiles the preset names.

The official Hermes plugin catalog in a native page (sidebar entry, route /catalogo, plus a command-palette entry) with an Italian interface and on-the-fly Italian descriptions: Google Translate first, MyMemory as a second public source, and a final fallback to the user's own local llama.cpp model.
Good to know before installing
It fetches the public catalog feed (hermes-agent.nousresearch.com) and, when you open a plugin entry, sends that entry's English description to translate.googleapis.com (Google Translate's keyless public endpoint) and, if that fails, to api.mymemory.translated.net; nothing else leaves the machine. It reads no credentials or Hermes files, and its backend route is empty. Translation runs when a plugin entry is opened, not for the whole catalog. No telemetry. UI is Italian-first with an English bundle.

Connect and disconnect Composio accounts from Hermes Desktop and the web dashboard. Lists every row the Composio CLI returns, including expired, duplicate, and unaliased accounts, opens OAuth in the user's browser, and disconnects one exact account after confirmation. No agent tools or hooks. Catalog metadata uses COMPOSIO_USER_API_KEY through agent.secret_scope.get_secret and requests only https://backend.composio.dev.
Good to know before installing
Inventory, connect, and disconnect run the composio CLI already logged in on the gateway; the API key never reaches the browser. Removing a Composio connection does not revoke every permission at the provider. The bundled service logos include an Ngrok mark; the plugin does not open a tunnel.

Translucent glass surfaces for Hermes Desktop in light and dark, teal accent, with terminal colors that match.
Good to know before installing
Theme-only plugin: it registers one theme through the Desktop plugin SDK and injects no CSS, no DOM access and no stylesheet of its own; the palette ships light and dark sets and the desktop terminal pane takes its colours from them. The package also ships two optional CLI/TUI skins (glass-light, glass-dark) as plain YAML files the user copies into ~/.hermes/skins, plus an inert __init__.py whose register() does nothing so the Agent loader imports the package cleanly instead of reporting a missing module. No network requests, no agent tools, no hooks, no background processes, no settings page.

Composer profile picker with explicit context handoff into a new chat and verified single-folder project inheritance.
Good to know before installing
Reads focused session/project metadata; may read the live roster and transcript to verify empty sources, even for Start fresh. Copy context and Brief handoff store selected source text in a new target-profile session. No automatic submission or model call. Cross-gateway handoffs have no inherited project; source chat, composer drafts and profile configuration are not modified.

CPU, load, free RAM, Linux PSI CPU pressure, active sessions, running Hermes processes and round-trip time of the connected Hermes server in the Desktop status bar, plus an optional TUI card.
Good to know before installing
The Desktop chip's backend route reads CPU/memory figures via psutil, Linux /proc/pressure/cpu and /proc/meminfo, every process's command line (only per-command Hermes process counts are returned) and the server's own loopback /api/status, and reports the server hostname to the Desktop; the optional TUI card, copied by hand into tui-widgets/, runs the same code as a long-lived `python3 -c` child of the TUI and saves its options to <HERMES_HOME>/vitals.json; no third-party network call, no telemetry, no credentials.

Eighteen warm, readable palettes for Hermes Desktop, assigned natively per profile, with one embedded type system (Figtree + Geist Mono), matching terminal colors and a CLI banner painted per palette.
Good to know before installing
Theme-only plugin: it registers eighteen themes through the plugin SDK, and its stylesheet adjusts a few Desktop surfaces (profile-rail glyph contrast, Capabilities metadata, the MCP JSON editor and the Manage Profiles overlay) only while a Minimalist theme is active. It also ships optional CLI/TUI skins as plain YAML files the user copies; the Desktop side never reads them. Fonts are bundled; no network requests, no agent tools or hooks, no background processes.

Live performance HUD for Hermes Desktop: a status-bar chip with core-compatible TPS (sum of output tokens over sum of API durations for the last 10 completed calls, the same window and arithmetic as Hermes' own status bar) in `tps`, `tps_ttft` or `calls` form, and a statistics popover with TPS, a separately labelled Session Avg TPS (the same ratio over every call in the session), median TTFT from `first_chunk_at`, LLM calls, an `Agent steps*` compatibility alias (equal to LLM calls, footnoted inside the snapshot by `agent_steps_note`), turns, errors, input, output and cache-read tokens, cache hit rate on Hermes' `cache_read / (cache_read + input)` buckets, tool calls and tool time, tool time share, wall-clock session duration, and the model and provider. Two controls — Reset current statistics (clears the plugin's own in-memory counters, never Hermes session state) and Clear history — plus local performance history for the last 50 sessions. Observes only: nine observer hooks, no tool or message is ever blocked, rewritten or reordered, no Hermes core file is touched, the aggregation layer is pure with no I/O and no host imports, all handlers are fail-open so a telemetry bug cannot break a turn, and a corrupt history file is quarantined instead of raised.
Good to know before installing
Reads only from the observer payloads: token usage buckets (input, output, cache read, cache write, reasoning), API and tool timings, first-chunk timestamps, model and provider names, session ids, and tool names plus error status for the counts; prompts, model responses, conversation contents, tool arguments and tool results are never read and have no field in its snapshot, its desktop event or its history record. Writes exactly one JSON file per profile at `<HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/agent-plugin-perf-hud-*/history.json` containing only session_id, model, provider, started_at, updated_at, duration_ms, ttft_ms, tps_core, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_hit_pct, tool_time_ms and llm_calls, allow-list enforced, atomic, capped at 50 sessions; no other disk writes, and no config change beyond the documented `plugins.entries.perf-hud.settings.*` keys (chip_enabled, chip_metric, history_enabled, history_max_sessions, poll_ms, broadcast_min_interval_ms). Desktop updates travel over Hermes' in-process plugin event bridge (`broadcast_plugin_event`, topic `plugin.perf-hud.stats.update`, throttled to 400 ms) and its REST routes are served by the user's own local dashboard at /api/plugins/pe

Hands a long-running conversation over to a fresh session before the context window fills up: a ⚡ chip in the status bar shows live context usage, and at the threshold (45% by default) the agent writes a hand-off note while the plugin opens a new chat, seeded with that note as its first message and named after the current one (+1). On Telegram and other messaging platforms the gateway half provides a session_relay_handoff tool; after /new it attaches that chat's note to the first message of the new session, so the fresh session opens with the hand-off.

Background-task watchboard for the Hermes Desktop status bar and a side pane: every process the focused chat dispatched through terminal(background=true) (claude, opencode, codex, a build, anything) with live output tail, runtime, a silence heartbeat, a two-click stop, and OS notifications when a task goes quiet past a configurable threshold or exits (success/failure by exit code). Agent-agnostic by construction — it renders the gateway's own process.list projection for the focused session. Desktop-only (desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface); no agent tools, hooks, middleware, env vars or network. Everything is local.
How to install
Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install taskwatch
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable taskwatch
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).
Live output/input tokens-per-second chip in the Hermes Desktop status bar for a local llama.cpp server. Hermes itself reads the server's log ($HERMES_HOME/logs/llama-server.log, last 200 lines: `tg = X t/s` for output and `prompt eval time ... X tokens per second` for input) and serves it at /api/plugins/token-rate/; the chip polls that route once a second. The counter starts off — click the chip, or run the palette entry "Token Rate: start/stop the tok/s counter" (Ctrl/Cmd+K), to start it; the on/off flag is a file ($HERMES_HOME/cache/token-rate-state.json). It also registers the get_token_rate agent tool, so the model can read its own speed.
Good to know before installing
It reads one local file (the llama.cpp log) and nothing else: no network calls, no external process, no extra port, no API key, no credentials, no telemetry. UI is English by default, Italian when the app locale is Italian.

Good to know before installing
Free Mode fetches public profile and post metadata from api.fxtwitter.com / api.vxtwitter.com and r.jina.ai and caches snapshots in <hermes_home>/plugin-data/x-dashboard/; when the xurl CLI is on PATH it runs `xurl auth status` locally to detect your linked handle; optional xAI x_search discovery (enable_x_search=true, billed to your xAI account) and Live X API v2 mode (api.x.com with X_BEARER_TOKEN, or the xurl CLI) run only when explicitly opted in.

A side agent rereads the conversation while Hermes works on longer turns and surfaces the one thing you might have missed — a silent tradeoff, an unverified result, an irreversible action — as a dismissible note above the prompt.
Good to know before installing
On tool-using turns in Desktop, CLI and TUI (configurable via `platforms`), sends up to 12,000 characters of the recent conversation, including clipped tool calls and results, to Hermes's configured auxiliary model up to five extra times per turn (45 s cooldown), which adds model cost; notes are stored in the plugin's own data folder.

Read before you install
Plugins run code inside your agent. Official plugins come from Nous Research's own repo. Community plugins are independent projects, so check the source, the permissions they ask for and any API keys they need. New to plugins? Start with skills vs plugins vs MCP.
