Hermes Agent's native desktop client, Hermes Desktop, is available in public preview for macOS and Windows. The client was first demonstrated during Jensen Huang's GTC keynote.
The desktop app runs the same agent with the same memory and skills as the existing command-line and messaging-platform versions — the key difference is that no terminal is required to use it. Installers are provided as .dmg for macOS and .exe for Windows; downloads are available at hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/desktop.
System requirements and installation options
- macOS 12 or later
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Linux installations remain available via the terminal
Community impact and usage
The community has been using Hermes as a single interface across workflows and has actively grown the surrounding ecosystem. The native desktop client lowers the barrier to entry for users who prefer not to work in a terminal. For users already running Hermes through the CLI or messaging platforms, nothing about the agent changes — Desktop is simply an additional surface layered on the same underlying agent.
The public preview lets more users test the desktop experience while the app's features and stability continue to be refined. The official download page is hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/desktop.
