Hermes Dashboard is a feature of 📝Hermes Agent that exposes a local browser-based interface for managing settings, sessions, skills, and the 📝gateway — with a plugin system for custom tabs and live theme switching.
The CLI is canonical for Hermes but not always the right shape. Inspecting a long session, browsing the skill library, toggling gateway integrations, and configuring auxiliary models are all tasks that benefit from a visual interface — and a browser is the lowest-friction surface for one that ships on day one across operating systems.
The audience is Hermes operators who want a visual control surface for the runtime — and developers extending Hermes who want to surface their own UI inside the same dashboard rather than ship a separate tool.
Key Capabilities
- Local browser interface — the dashboard runs alongside Hermes on the same machine, served from a local port without external dependencies.
- Settings management — model selection, auxiliary model configuration, sandbox backend defaults, and credential pool entries all live behind familiar form controls.
- Session and skill browsing — every past session is searchable, every skill in the library is inspectable, and the dashboard surfaces both with their tool calls and provenance.
- Gateway control — the dashboard manages gateway platform integrations directly, including credentials, plugin state, and live message routing.
- Plugin tabs and live themes — developers can register custom tabs, and the dashboard supports live theme switching so the visual surface adapts to context.
Getting Started
- Install or upgrade to a Hermes Agent version that ships the dashboard.
- Launch the dashboard from the CLI; it serves on a local port.
- Open the printed URL in any browser to reach the dashboard.
- Sign in if your install is configured with auth; local-only installs skip this step.
- Browse sessions, manage settings, or open the gateway tab from the main nav.
