Hermes Agent Desktop App (Free) for macOS: Setup + Kanban, Memory, Scheduled Tasks & ProfilesThe video introduces a new free Hermes Agent desktop app for macOS that replaces the messy terminal experience with a clean, organized interface. It shows how to set it up by running Hermes Web UI locally, downloading the latest desktop app release, dragging it into Applications, and updating it, while demonstrating real usage like building and deploying a website via Netlify using a personal access token. The host tours key desktop features including chat history, scheduled tasks, a Kanban board, skills, memory, spaces for local files, profiles, to-dos that auto-update, insights, a dashboard, and logs for errors. It explains switching and creating profiles (optionally with API keys) and argues the dedicated app is more persistent and easier than a browser or terminal, with a built-in test connection.00:00 Hermes Desktop App Overview01:01 Download and Install on Mac01:46 Update and First Launch02:05 Real World Demo Website Build03:09 Hosting and Netlify Workflow04:49 Desktop UI Tour Tasks to Logs06:57 Why Desktop Beats Terminal07:44 Profiles Setup and Switching08:14 Common Concerns Answered08:54 Roadmap Training and Community09:59 Skills Plugins MCPs and Profiles10:33 Wrap Up and Goodbye
