In plain English

Hermes Link Curator is a profile pack for the Hermes Agent framework that turns any Hermes agent into a personal link librarian. You send it a URL through Telegram, Discord, or any other channel the agent watches, and it fetches the page, writes a summary and tags to a local folder of markdown files, and makes those links browsable through a small web app you run on your own computer. The web interface looks like Obsidian, the popular note-taking app, and offers list view, a calendar, search, tag pages, a day-by-day view, a tag graph, and a JSON statistics endpoint. The archive stores everything as plain markdown files in a folder on your machine, so the data is yours and does not leave your computer. On mobile, you can open the dashboard from your iPhone browser and add it to your home screen, where it behaves like a small local app. Installing it requires you to already have the Hermes Agent set up. Once you do, you can either send the agent a message pointing at this repository and it will guide itself through installation, or you can run a shell script that asks a single question and sets everything up. The dashboard then starts on port 8090 and binds only to your local machine by default. For access from your phone while away from home, the README recommends Tailscale, a private networking tool that connects your devices securely without opening the dashboard to the public internet. The project explicitly warns against exposing the dashboard publicly because it has no login system. The project supports macOS and Linux. Windows requires the WSL2 compatibility layer. It is released under the MIT license and was built by one developer as a personal system, then packaged for the broader Hermes community.
