Hermes Desktop is a native macOS desktop application that serves as a companion for the Hermes AI agent framework. It provides a rich GUI for managing remote Hermes instances over SSH or local connections, including session browsing (chat transcripts), a full terminal emulator (via the vendored SwiftTerm library), Kanban board management, cron job scheduling, file editing, skill browsing, usage analytics, and workflow presets. The architecture is a monolithic SwiftUI + AppKit app with a service layer that communicates with the remote host by generating and executing Python scripts over SSH, parsing JSON responses. The app is designed to be a direct client without any intermediate backend, treating the remote Hermes host as the sole source of truth. It includes a custom design system (HermesUI), localization support (en, zh-Hans, ru), and comprehensive test coverage. While the codebase is well-structured and demonstrates strong SwiftUI and macOS development practices, it has some monolithic views and relies on fragile embedded Python scripts for remote operations.
