The Hermes Agent desktop app gives you everything the CLI does without touching a terminal — and can even drive an agent running on another machine. Here's the complete guide.

The key mental model: it's a front-end, not a separate agent — it drives the exact same Hermes runtime as the CLI and TUI, so the same sessions, memory, skills, and config are all there, and the GUI is decoupled from where the agent actually runs. I install it from scratch, cover the CLI flags worth knowing, and tour the whole UI panel by panel: sessions (and how isolating them per workspace is actually a cost-control feature, not just organization), messaging setup, skills/tools, Cron jobs, the Review Rail preview pane, profiles vs sub-agents (with a live sub-agent run), the per-session file explorer and built-in terminal, and the full settings tour — models, auxiliary slots, safety, voice, and providers. The standout section is remote control: I demo driving one machine's agent from another over the same Wi-Fi, then securely from a VPS over Tailscale so it's never exposed to the open internet — your laptop becomes a window into an agent whose sessions, keys, and memory all stay on the back end. I close with the troubleshooting and clean-reinstall commands that save you when something breaks. It's still early and updated constantly, so I'll keep this guide current — but this is everything the app can do right now.
