Hermes Agent CN Desktop is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that wraps an AI agent runtime called Hermes Agent in a native window. It is published by the Hermes Agent Chinese community. The app is built with Tauri version 2, React, TypeScript, and Rust. The agent runtime itself, including its web dashboard, lives in a separate repository called hermes-agent-cn. This repository is the desktop shell around it. The current release is v0.1.0-alpha.2 and the README warns that interfaces and packaging may change before the first stable version. The README explains why the project exists. Hermes Agent already ships a local web dashboard, but running it as a browser app has limits. The desktop shell adds native windows, local process management, file dialogs, an installer that fetches and verifies the runtime, runtime diagnostics, and a transport layer in Rust that proxies REST calls and server-sent events. The transport layer avoids browser CORS restrictions and centralizes the handling of API keys. Features listed include one click installation, a small installer because Tauri uses the system WebView instead of bundling Chromium, install and update and rollback flows for the local Hermes Agent core, and an agent-focused UI with chat, streaming responses, attachments, MCP tools, skills, memory, profiles, scheduled tasks, and runtime health panels. Screenshots in the README show the workspace in light and dark themes, configuration, the skills library, model provider setup, memory, runtime diagnostics, logs, chat history, and a project review workflow. Pre-release builds are published on GitHub Releases. The Windows installer bundles the Hermes Agent runtime, while the macOS build downloads the runtime on first launch. Development requires Rust stable, Node.js 20 or higher, pnpm 9 or higher, and the hermes-agent-cn project running on port 9120. Common pnpm and cargo commands are listed for dev, typecheck, unit tests, and bundle builds. The project is released under MIT.
