# Hermes Web UI
2026-04-08 06:38:44 +00:00
[Hermes Agent ](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/ ) is a sophisticated autonomous agent that lives on your server, accessed via a terminal or messaging apps, that remembers what it learns and gets more capable the longer it runs.
2026-03-31 07:34:50 +00:00
Hermes WebUI is a lightweight, dark-themed web app interface in your browser for [Hermes Agent ](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/ ).
Full parity with the CLI experience - everything you can do from a terminal,
2026-03-31 03:40:19 +00:00
you can do from this UI. No build step, no framework, no bundler. Just Python
and vanilla JS.
feat: composer-centric UI refresh + Hermes Control Center (v0.50.0, closes #242)
* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.

* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.

* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().

* Fix model chip icon vertical alignment in composer footer
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix workspace toggle button hidden on desktop by conflicting CSS class
Remove mobile-files-btn class from #btnWorkspacePanelToggle — its
display:none!important rule was overriding workspace-toggle-btn visibility
on non-mobile viewports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix session actions dots button inaccessible on mobile sidebar
Always show the session actions trigger on mobile (no hover state on
touch devices) and restore right padding so text truncates with
ellipsis before the dots icon.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer footer manage links not opening sidebar panel
The "Manage profiles" and "Manage workspaces" links in the composer
footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)
- Fixed quoting syntax error in test assertion
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update version badge in System tab to v0.49.4
* docs: update README and CHANGELOG for v0.50.0 UI refresh, bump version badge

Layout: three-panel. Left sidebar for sessions and navigation, center for chat,
right for workspace file browsing. Model, profile, and workspace controls live in
the **composer footer** — always visible while composing. A circular context ring
shows token usage at a glance. All settings and session tools are in the
**Hermes Control Center** (launcher at the sidebar bottom).

docs: HERMES.md deep-dive, Why Hermes in README, screenshot layout
* docs: add HERMES.md deep-dive, Why Hermes section in README, and screenshot layout
- HERMES.md: full why-Hermes document -- assistant vs. agent mental
model, three pillars (memory/scheduling/reach), four-category
taxonomy of AI tools, per-tool comparison sections with tables
(Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor/Copilot, Claude.ai),
compounding advantage, who it's for, what it's not, quick reference
- README: hero screenshot stays full-width; two new UI screenshots in
side-by-side HTML table with captions below
- README: new Why Hermes section with 6-bullet summary, comparison
table, and link to HERMES.md
- README: HERMES.md added to Docs section
- docs/images/: two UI screenshots (workspace browser, sessions view)
* docs: fact-check and update all comparisons; add Open Interpreter section
Researched current state of each tool before updating:
Claude Code:
- Scheduled jobs: now Partial (has /loop session-scoped, cloud-managed
/schedule via claude.ai/code, and desktop app automations); updated
table to reflect this with footnotes distinguishing self-hosted cron
- Persistent memory: Partial (CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, rolling auto-memory
but not full automatic cross-session recall)
- Provider-agnostic: No -- supports Bedrock/Vertex but Claude models only
- Web UI: Yes but Anthropic-hosted (not self-hosted)
Codex CLI:
- Persistent memory: Partial (session history + AGENTS.md since v0.100.0)
- Scheduled jobs: Partial (desktop app Automations only; CLI has no native
scheduling as of early 2026, open feature request)
- Provider-agnostic: Yes (10+ providers)
OpenCode:
- Web UI: now Yes (embedded in binary + official desktop app)
- Persistent memory: Partial (SQLite sessions + AGENTS.md, not semantic)
- Messaging: community Telegram bot only, not first-party
Open Interpreter: added as new comparison section
- Most common 'why not just use this' question; addressed head-on
- Session-scoped, no persistent memory by their own docs, no scheduler,
no messaging integration; powerful for one-shot tasks, not always-on
README Why Hermes table: updated to include Open Interpreter column,
fixed Claude Code self-hosted row (No -- scheduling runs on Anthropic
cloud), added footnotes for partial entries
* docs: add OpenClaw comparison; update category framework and quick reference table
OpenClaw (openclaw.ai, MIT, 347k stars) is the most direct Hermes
competitor -- both are open-source, self-hosted, always-on agents with
persistent memory, cron, and messaging integration. Added:
- Full OpenClaw section in HERMES.md with honest comparison: where it
wins (15+ messaging platforms incl. iMessage/WeChat, native Chrome CDP
browser control, voice wake words, ClawHub marketplace) and where
Hermes differs (self-improving skills system, Python/ML ecosystem,
web UI, multi-profile, sub-agent orchestration)
- Category 4 framework updated: now lists both Hermes and OpenClaw,
with the key architectural distinction called out
- Quick reference table expanded to include OpenClaw column (now 8 tools)
- New rows added: self-improving skills, browser/computer control,
Python/ML ecosystem
- README Why Hermes table updated: OpenClaw replaces OpenCode column,
self-improving skills row replaces generic skills row, callout line
at bottom addresses OpenClaw head-on
* docs: major accuracy pass -- OpenClaw deep-dive, Claude Code corrections, drop Open Interpreter
OpenClaw:
- Expanded comparison from a table to a full prose section with
'Where OpenClaw wins' / 'Where Hermes wins' structure
- Honest about OpenClaw strengths: 15+ messaging platforms, native
Chrome CDP browser control, voice wake words, 13k+ ClawHub skills
- Hermes advantages called out clearly: self-improving skills as a
first-class automatic loop (vs marketplace-install model), stability
(documented OpenClaw update regressions, Telegram breakage in early
2026, WhatsApp protocol instability), security (156 CVEs and 1,184
malicious skills found in ClawHub audit vs Hermes's no marketplace
attack surface), Python/ML ecosystem, full web UI vs dashboard-only,
and first-class multi-profile support
- Category 4 framework updated to name both Hermes and OpenClaw
- Table updated: added stability/security rows, corrected web UI row
(OpenClaw has a gateway dashboard but not a full chat UI)
Claude Code corrections (researched against official docs at code.claude.com):
- Skills/Hooks: changed from No to Yes -- has a full Hooks system (13
event types, 4 handler types) and a Plugin/Skills marketplace since
v2.0.12; unified with slash commands in v2.1.0
- Messaging: changed from No to Partial -- Channels feature (Telegram,
Discord, iMessage, Webhooks) in research preview since v2.1.80; deep
Slack integration that triggers cloud sessions and creates PRs
- Added Claude Cowork row: separate product with 38+ connectors
(Slack, Gmail, Teams, Notion, Jira, Salesforce, etc.)
- Scheduling footnote updated: cloud-managed has 1-hour minimum interval
- Provider-agnostic clarified: routes through Bedrock/Vertex but always
Claude models; cannot swap to GPT or Gemini
Open Interpreter removed:
- Less relevant comparison than OpenClaw for the 'always-on agent' frame
- Kept coverage focused on the tools people actually compare Hermes to
Quick reference table:
- Now 7 tools wide (added OpenClaw, kept Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode,
Cursor, Claude.ai, Hermes)
- New rows: self-improving skills, browser/computer control, stability
- Updated: Claude Code messaging to Partial, OpenClaw web UI to
'Dashboard only', skills rows differentiated by type
* docs: apply full editorial pass from hermes-edit-list.md
Writing patterns fixed:
- Em dashes reduced by ~80%; replaced with commas, periods, parens
- All 'Not X, it's Y' negative parallelism rewritten as positive
statements; 'What Hermes Is Not' section renamed 'Scope and Limits'
and reframed positively throughout
- 'It compounds.' standalone flourish removed
- 'meaningfully' removed everywhere (was appearing 3+ times)
- 'leverages' -> 'uses' in README
- 'remembers everything' softened to 'retains context across sessions'
- Bolded Hermes column in Quick Reference table un-bolded (only genuine
differentiator cells kept bold: self-improving skills, always-on,
orchestrates other agents)
- 'The honest summary' framing removed from OpenClaw section
- 'Hermes is different.' cliche transition cut from README
- Rule-of-three slogans trimmed (e.g. 'Same agent, same memory...')
- 'tired of re-explaining' -> 'don't want to re-explaining'
Duplicate content removed:
- 'day one / day one hundred' comparison kept only in Compounding
Advantage section; removed from Pillar 1
Factual accuracy fixes:
- Claude.ai comparison updated: memory now auto-generated from history
(not just user-curated); code execution and file read/write noted
as sandboxed (Artifacts), not flat No
- Category 2: Windsurf framed as 'earliest' on memory, Copilot
'catching up'; removed overconfident 'most mature' claim
- Category 4 qualifier: 'as of early 2026' added
- '1-hour minimum' for Claude Code cloud scheduling softened to
'minimum interval applies' (specific claim unverified)
- Claude Code scheduling table note: 'cloud or desktop-app only'
(was just 'cloud-managed or session-scoped')
- README claim 'No other open-source tool combines...' removed;
was false because OpenClaw does combine all three
- OpenClaw self-improving skills: 'No' -> 'Partial' with clarification
- README OpenClaw callout: 'relies on a marketplace' softened to
'skill system centers on a community marketplace'
- 'meaningfully more stable' -> 'more stable'; 'supply chain issues'
-> 'security incidents involving malicious skills'
- OpenClaw star count: '347k+' -> '~347k' (moving fast)
- Stability row added to OpenClaw table; bold removed from table

This gives you nearly **1:1 parity with Hermes CLI from a convenient web UI** which you can access securely through an SSH tunnel from your Hermes setup. Single command to start this up, and a single command to SSH tunnel for access on your computer. Every single part of the web UI uses your existing Hermes agent and existing models, without requiring any additional setup.

## Why Hermes
Most AI tools reset every session. They don't know who you are, what you worked on, or what
conventions your project follows. You re-explain yourself every time.
Hermes retains context across sessions, runs scheduled jobs while you're offline, and gets
smarter about your environment the longer it runs. It uses your existing Hermes agent setup,
your existing models, and requires no additional configuration to start.
What makes it different from other agentic tools:
- **Persistent memory** — user profile, agent notes, and a skills system that saves reusable
procedures; Hermes learns your environment and does not have to relearn it
- **Self-hosted scheduling** — cron jobs that fire while you're offline and deliver results to
Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, email, and more
- **10+ messaging platforms** — the same agent available in the terminal is reachable from your phone
- **Self-improving skills** — Hermes writes and saves its own skills automatically from experience;
no marketplace to browse, no plugins to install
- **Provider-agnostic** — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and more
- **Orchestrates other agents** — can spawn Claude Code or Codex for heavy coding tasks and bring
the results back into its own memory
- **Self-hosted** — your conversations, your memory, your hardware
**vs. the field** *(landscape is actively shifting — see [HERMES.md](HERMES.md) for the full breakdown)* :
| | OpenClaw | Claude Code | Codex CLI | OpenCode | Hermes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Persistent memory (auto) | Yes | Partial† | Partial | Partial | Yes |
| Scheduled jobs (self-hosted) | Yes | No‡ | No | No | Yes |
| Messaging app access | Yes (15+ platforms) | Partial (Telegram/Discord preview) | No | No | Yes (10+) |
| Web UI (self-hosted) | Dashboard only | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Self-improving skills | Partial | No | No | No | Yes |
| Python / ML ecosystem | No (Node.js) | No | No | No | Yes |
| Provider-agnostic | Yes | No (Claude only) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Open source | Yes (MIT) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
† Claude Code has CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md project context and rolling auto-memory, but not full automatic cross-session recall
‡ Claude Code has cloud-managed scheduling (Anthropic infrastructure) and session-scoped `/loop` ; no self-hosted cron
**The closest competitor is OpenClaw** — both are always-on, self-hosted, open-source agents
with memory, cron, and messaging. The key differences: Hermes writes and saves its own skills
automatically as a core behavior (OpenClaw's skill system centers on a community marketplace);
Hermes is more stable across updates (OpenClaw has documented release regressions and ClawHub
has had security incidents involving malicious skills); and Hermes runs natively in the Python
ecosystem. See [HERMES.md ](HERMES.md ) for the full side-by-side.

## Quick start
2026-04-12 07:11:41 +00:00
Run the repo bootstrap:
2026-03-31 07:34:50 +00:00
2026-03-31 03:40:19 +00:00
```bash
2026-03-31 04:29:13 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui.git hermes-webui
2026-03-31 03:40:19 +00:00
cd hermes-webui
2026-04-12 07:11:41 +00:00
python3 bootstrap.py
```
Or keep using the shell launcher:
```bash
2026-03-31 03:40:19 +00:00
./start.sh
```
2026-04-12 07:11:41 +00:00
The bootstrap will:
1. Detect Hermes Agent and, if missing, attempt the official installer (`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`).
2. Find or create a Python environment with the WebUI dependencies.
3. Start the web server and wait for `/health` .
4. Open the browser unless you pass `--no-browser` .
5. Drop you into a first-run onboarding wizard inside the WebUI.

If provider setup is still incomplete after install, the onboarding wizard will point you to finish it with `hermes model` instead of trying to replicate the full CLI setup in-browser.

feat: Sprint 21 — mobile responsive layout + Docker support
Mobile responsive (Issue #21):
- Hamburger sidebar: slide-in overlay on mobile (<640px) with backdrop.
Tap hamburger in topbar to open, tap outside to close. Full session
list, project chips, all panel content accessible.
- Bottom navigation bar: 5-tab fixed bar (Chat, Tasks, Skills, Memory,
Spaces) replaces sidebar nav tabs on mobile. iOS-style layout.
Tapping a tab opens the sidebar overlay with that panel active.
- Right panel slide-over: Files button in topbar chips opens workspace
panel as a slide-over from the right on mobile/tablet.
- Touch targets: all interactive elements get min 44x44px touch areas.
Session items, approval buttons, composer buttons all sized for fingers.
- Composer positioned above bottom nav bar with proper spacing.
- Sidebar nav tabs and bottom section hidden on mobile (replaced by
bottom nav + topbar chips).
- Clicking a session auto-closes the sidebar overlay.
- Desktop layout completely unchanged — all mobile elements are
display:none by default, only shown inside @media(max-width:640px).
Docker (Issue #7):
- Dockerfile: python:3.12-slim, HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0, port 8787.
- docker-compose.yml: named volume for state persistence, optional
~/.hermes mount for agent features, password env var documented.
- README: Docker quick start section with compose and manual commands.
Tests: 392 passed, 23 pre-existing failures, 0 regressions.

## Docker
2026-04-03 21:18:50 +00:00
**Pre-built images** (amd64 + arm64) are published to GHCR on every release:
v0.46.0: security, Docker UID/GID, model discovery, i18n, cancel fix
* fix: decode HTML entities before markdown processing + zh/zh-Hant translations (#239)
Adds decode() helper in renderMd() to fix double-escaping of HTML entities
from LLM output (e.g. <code> becoming &lt;code&gt; instead
of rendering). XSS-safe: decode runs before esc(), only 5 entity patterns.
Also adds 40+ missing zh (Simplified Chinese) translation keys and a new
zh-Hant (Traditional Chinese) locale with 163 keys.
Fix applied: removed duplicate settings_label_notifications key in both
zh and zh-Hant locales.
Fixes #240
* fix: restore custom model list discovery with config api key (#238)
get_available_models() now reads api_key from config.yaml before env vars:
1. model.api_key
2. providers.<active>.api_key / providers.custom.api_key
3. env var fallbacks (HERMES_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.)
Also adds OpenAI/Python User-Agent header and a regression test covering
authenticated /v1/models discovery.
Fixes users with LM Studio / Ollama custom endpoints configured in
config.yaml whose model picker silently collapsed to the default model.
* feat: Docker UID/GID matching to avoid root-owned .hermes files (#237)
Adds docker_init.bash with hermeswebuitoo/hermeswebui user pattern so
container files match the host user UID/GID. Prevents .hermes volume
mounts from being owned by root when using a non-root host user.
Configure via WANTED_UID and WANTED_GID env vars (default 1000/1000).
Readme updated with setup instructions.
Fix applied: removed duplicate WANTED_GID=1000 line in docker-compose.yml
that was overriding the ${GID:-1000} variable expansion.
* security: redact credentials from API responses and fix credential file permissions (#243)
Adds response-layer credential redaction to three endpoints:
- GET /api/session — messages[], tool_calls[], and title
- GET /api/session/export — download also redacted
- SSE done event — session payload in stream
- GET /api/memory — MEMORY.md and USER.md content
Adds api/startup.py with fix_credential_permissions() at server startup.
Adds 13 tests in tests/test_security_redaction.py.
Merged with #237 container detection changes in server.py.
* fix: cancel button now interrupts agent and cleans up UI state (#244)
Wires agent.interrupt() into cancel_stream() so the backend actually
stops tool execution when the user clicks Cancel, rather than only
stopping the SSE stream while the agent keeps running.
Changes:
- api/config.py: adds AGENT_INSTANCES dict (stream_id -> AIAgent)
- api/streaming.py: stores agent in AGENT_INSTANCES after creation,
checks CANCEL_FLAGS immediately after store (race condition fix),
calls agent.interrupt() in cancel_stream(), cleans up in finally block
- static/boot.js: removes stale setStatus(cancelling) call
- static/messages.js: setBusy(false)/setStatus('') unconditionally on cancel
Race condition fix: after storing agent in AGENT_INSTANCES, immediately
checks if CANCEL_FLAGS[stream_id] is already set (cancel arrived during
agent init) and interrupts before starting. Check is inside the same
STREAMS_LOCK acquisition, making it atomic.
New test file: tests/test_cancel_interrupt.py with 6 unit tests.
* docs: v0.46.0 release notes, bump version, update test counts

Make sure the `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR` (by default `~/.hermes/webui-mvp` , as detailed in the `.env.example` file) folder exist with the UID/GID of the owner of the `.hermes` folder.
The container will also mount your configured "workspace" (also from the example .env.example) as `/workspace` . adapt the location as needed.

- Composer positioned above bottom nav bar with proper spacing.
- Sidebar nav tabs and bottom section hidden on mobile (replaced by
bottom nav + topbar chips).
- Clicking a session auto-closes the sidebar overlay.
- Desktop layout completely unchanged — all mobile elements are
display:none by default, only shown inside @media(max-width:640px).
Docker (Issue #7):
- Dockerfile: python:3.12-slim, HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0, port 8787.
- docker-compose.yml: named volume for state persistence, optional
~/.hermes mount for agent features, password env var documented.
- README: Docker quick start section with compose and manual commands.
Tests: 392 passed, 23 pre-existing failures, 0 regressions.

### Two-container setup (Agent + WebUI)
If you run the Hermes Agent in its own Docker container and want the WebUI
in a separate container:
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.two-container.yml up -d
```
This starts both containers with shared volumes:
- **`hermes-home`** — shared `~/.hermes` for config, sessions, skills, memory
- **`hermes-agent-src`** — the agent's source code, mounted into the WebUI
container so it can install the agent's Python dependencies at startup
The WebUI's init script automatically installs hermes-agent and all its
dependencies (openai, anthropic, etc.) into its own Python environment on
first boot. Subsequent restarts reuse the installed packages.
> **How it works:** The WebUI imports hermes-agent's Python modules directly
> (not via HTTP). The shared volume makes the agent source available, and
> the init script runs `uv pip install` to set up the dependencies. Both
> containers share the same `~/.hermes` directory for config and state.
See `docker-compose.two-container.yml` for the full configuration.
feat: Sprint 21 — mobile responsive layout + Docker support
Mobile responsive (Issue #21):
- Hamburger sidebar: slide-in overlay on mobile (<640px) with backdrop.
Tap hamburger in topbar to open, tap outside to close. Full session
list, project chips, all panel content accessible.
- Bottom navigation bar: 5-tab fixed bar (Chat, Tasks, Skills, Memory,
Spaces) replaces sidebar nav tabs on mobile. iOS-style layout.
Tapping a tab opens the sidebar overlay with that panel active.
- Right panel slide-over: Files button in topbar chips opens workspace
panel as a slide-over from the right on mobile/tablet.
- Touch targets: all interactive elements get min 44x44px touch areas.
Session items, approval buttons, composer buttons all sized for fingers.
- Composer positioned above bottom nav bar with proper spacing.
- Sidebar nav tabs and bottom section hidden on mobile (replaced by
bottom nav + topbar chips).
- Clicking a session auto-closes the sidebar overlay.
- Desktop layout completely unchanged — all mobile elements are
display:none by default, only shown inside @media(max-width:640px).
Docker (Issue #7):
- Dockerfile: python:3.12-slim, HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0, port 8787.
- docker-compose.yml: named volume for state persistence, optional
~/.hermes mount for agent features, password env var documented.
- README: Docker quick start section with compose and manual commands.

## What start.sh discovers automatically
| Thing | How it finds it |
|---|---|
| Hermes agent dir | `HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_DIR` env, then `~/.hermes/hermes-agent` , then sibling `../hermes-agent` |
| Python executable | Agent venv first, then `.venv` in this repo, then system `python3` |
| State directory | `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR` env, then `~/.hermes/webui-mvp` |
| Default workspace | `HERMES_WEBUI_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` env, then `~/workspace` , then state dir |
| Port | `HERMES_WEBUI_PORT` env or first argument, default `8787` |
If discovery finds everything, nothing else is required.
---
## Overrides (only needed if auto-detection misses)
```bash
export HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_DIR=/path/to/hermes-agent
export HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON=/path/to/python
export HERMES_WEBUI_PORT=9000
./start.sh
```
Or inline:
```bash
HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_DIR=/custom/path ./start.sh 9000
```
Full list of environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |

| `HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON` | auto-discovered | Python executable |
| `HERMES_WEBUI_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind address |
| `HERMES_WEBUI_PORT` | `8787` | Port |
| `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR` | `~/.hermes/webui-mvp` | Where sessions and state are stored |
| `HERMES_WEBUI_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` | `~/workspace` | Default workspace |
| `HERMES_WEBUI_DEFAULT_MODEL` | `openai/gpt-5.4-mini` | Default model |

## Accessing from a remote machine
The server binds to `127.0.0.1` by default (loopback only). If you are running
Hermes on a VPS or remote server, use an SSH tunnel from your local machine:
```bash
ssh -N -L < local-port > :127.0.0.1:< remote-port > < user > @< server-host >
```
Example:
```bash
ssh -N -L 8787:127.0.0.1:8787 user@your.server.com
```
Then open `http://localhost:8787` in your local browser.
`start.sh` will print this command for you automatically when it detects you
are running over SSH.

2026-04-05 06:25:24 +00:00
## Accessing on your phone with Tailscale
[Tailscale ](https://tailscale.com ) is a zero-config mesh VPN built on
WireGuard. Install it on your server and your phone, and they join the same
private network -- no port forwarding, no SSH tunnels, no public exposure.
The Hermes Web UI is fully responsive with a mobile-optimized layout
(hamburger sidebar, bottom navigation bar, touch-friendly controls), so it
works well as a daily-driver agent interface from your phone.
**Setup:**
1. Install [Tailscale ](https://tailscale.com/download ) on your server and
your iPhone/Android.
2. Start the WebUI listening on all interfaces with password auth enabled:
```bash
HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0 HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD=your-secret ./start.sh
```
3. Open `http://<server-tailscale-ip>:8787` in your phone's browser
(find your server's Tailscale IP in the Tailscale app or with
`tailscale ip -4` on the server).
That's it. Traffic is encrypted end-to-end by WireGuard, and password auth
protects the UI at the application level. You can add it to your home screen
for an app-like experience.
> **Tip:** If using Docker, set `HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0` in your
> `docker-compose.yml` environment (already the default) and set
> `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD`.

feat: composer-centric UI refresh + Hermes Control Center (v0.50.0, closes #242)
* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix model chip icon vertical alignment in composer footer
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix workspace toggle button hidden on desktop by conflicting CSS class
Remove mobile-files-btn class from #btnWorkspacePanelToggle — its
display:none!important rule was overriding workspace-toggle-btn visibility
on non-mobile viewports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix session actions dots button inaccessible on mobile sidebar
Always show the session actions trigger on mobile (no hover state on
touch devices) and restore right padding so text truncates with
ellipsis before the dots icon.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer footer manage links not opening sidebar panel
The "Manage profiles" and "Manage workspaces" links in the composer
footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)
- Fixed quoting syntax error in test assertion
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update version badge in System tab to v0.49.4
* docs: update README and CHANGELOG for v0.50.0 UI refresh, bump version badge

- Create, rename, duplicate, delete, search by title and message content
feat: composer-centric UI refresh + Hermes Control Center (v0.50.0, closes #242)
* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.

* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().

* Fix model chip icon vertical alignment in composer footer
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix workspace toggle button hidden on desktop by conflicting CSS class
Remove mobile-files-btn class from #btnWorkspacePanelToggle — its
display:none!important rule was overriding workspace-toggle-btn visibility
on non-mobile viewports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix session actions dots button inaccessible on mobile sidebar
Always show the session actions trigger on mobile (no hover state on
touch devices) and restore right padding so text truncates with
ellipsis before the dots icon.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer footer manage links not opening sidebar panel
The "Manage profiles" and "Manage workspaces" links in the composer
footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)
- Fixed quoting syntax error in test assertion
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update version badge in System tab to v0.49.4
* docs: update README and CHANGELOG for v0.50.0 UI refresh, bump version badge

### Voice input
- Microphone button in the composer (Web Speech API)
- Tap to record, tap again or send to stop
- Live interim transcription appears in the textarea
- Auto-stops after ~2s of silence
- Appends to existing textarea content (doesn't replace)
- Hidden when browser doesn't support Web Speech API (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
### Profiles
feat: composer-centric UI refresh + Hermes Control Center (v0.50.0, closes #242)
* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix model chip icon vertical alignment in composer footer
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix workspace toggle button hidden on desktop by conflicting CSS class
Remove mobile-files-btn class from #btnWorkspacePanelToggle — its
display:none!important rule was overriding workspace-toggle-btn visibility
on non-mobile viewports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix session actions dots button inaccessible on mobile sidebar
Always show the session actions trigger on mobile (no hover state on
touch devices) and restore right padding so text truncates with
ellipsis before the dots icon.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer footer manage links not opening sidebar panel
The "Manage profiles" and "Manage workspaces" links in the composer
footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)
- Fixed quoting syntax error in test assertion
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: update version badge in System tab to v0.49.4
* docs: update README and CHANGELOG for v0.50.0 UI refresh, bump version badge

footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.

* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.

* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)
- Fixed quoting syntax error in test assertion

- Show/hide CLI sessions toggle (enabled by default)
- Token usage display toggle (off by default, also via `/usage` command)
feat: composer-centric UI refresh + Hermes Control Center (v0.50.0, closes #242)
* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.

* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().

on non-mobile viewports.

- SSE auto-reconnect on network blips
- Pin/star sessions to top of sidebar
- Import session from JSON export
Sprint 13 (v0.15): cron alerts, background errors, session duplicate, tab title
- Cron completion alerts: toast per completion + unread badge on Tasks tab

- Session archive (hide without deleting, toggle to show)
- Session tags -- #hashtag in title becomes colored chip + click-to-filter
- Message timestamps (HH:MM on hover, full date as tooltip)
Test suite: 224 tests across 14 sprint files + regression gate, 0 failures.

## Docs
docs: HERMES.md deep-dive, Why Hermes in README, screenshot layout
* docs: add HERMES.md deep-dive, Why Hermes section in README, and screenshot layout
- HERMES.md: full why-Hermes document -- assistant vs. agent mental
model, three pillars (memory/scheduling/reach), four-category
taxonomy of AI tools, per-tool comparison sections with tables
(Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor/Copilot, Claude.ai),
compounding advantage, who it's for, what it's not, quick reference
- README: hero screenshot stays full-width; two new UI screenshots in
side-by-side HTML table with captions below
- README: new Why Hermes section with 6-bullet summary, comparison
table, and link to HERMES.md
- README: HERMES.md added to Docs section
- docs/images/: two UI screenshots (workspace browser, sessions view)
* docs: fact-check and update all comparisons; add Open Interpreter section
Researched current state of each tool before updating:
Claude Code:
- Scheduled jobs: now Partial (has /loop session-scoped, cloud-managed
/schedule via claude.ai/code, and desktop app automations); updated
table to reflect this with footnotes distinguishing self-hosted cron
- Persistent memory: Partial (CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, rolling auto-memory
but not full automatic cross-session recall)
- Provider-agnostic: No -- supports Bedrock/Vertex but Claude models only
- Web UI: Yes but Anthropic-hosted (not self-hosted)
Codex CLI:
- Persistent memory: Partial (session history + AGENTS.md since v0.100.0)
- Scheduled jobs: Partial (desktop app Automations only; CLI has no native
scheduling as of early 2026, open feature request)
- Provider-agnostic: Yes (10+ providers)
OpenCode:
- Web UI: now Yes (embedded in binary + official desktop app)
- Persistent memory: Partial (SQLite sessions + AGENTS.md, not semantic)
- Messaging: community Telegram bot only, not first-party
Open Interpreter: added as new comparison section
- Most common 'why not just use this' question; addressed head-on
- Session-scoped, no persistent memory by their own docs, no scheduler,
no messaging integration; powerful for one-shot tasks, not always-on
README Why Hermes table: updated to include Open Interpreter column,
fixed Claude Code self-hosted row (No -- scheduling runs on Anthropic
cloud), added footnotes for partial entries
* docs: add OpenClaw comparison; update category framework and quick reference table
OpenClaw (openclaw.ai, MIT, 347k stars) is the most direct Hermes
competitor -- both are open-source, self-hosted, always-on agents with
persistent memory, cron, and messaging integration. Added:
- Full OpenClaw section in HERMES.md with honest comparison: where it
wins (15+ messaging platforms incl. iMessage/WeChat, native Chrome CDP
browser control, voice wake words, ClawHub marketplace) and where
Hermes differs (self-improving skills system, Python/ML ecosystem,
web UI, multi-profile, sub-agent orchestration)
- Category 4 framework updated: now lists both Hermes and OpenClaw,
with the key architectural distinction called out
- Quick reference table expanded to include OpenClaw column (now 8 tools)
- New rows added: self-improving skills, browser/computer control,
Python/ML ecosystem
- README Why Hermes table updated: OpenClaw replaces OpenCode column,
self-improving skills row replaces generic skills row, callout line
at bottom addresses OpenClaw head-on
* docs: major accuracy pass -- OpenClaw deep-dive, Claude Code corrections, drop Open Interpreter
OpenClaw:
- Expanded comparison from a table to a full prose section with
'Where OpenClaw wins' / 'Where Hermes wins' structure
- Honest about OpenClaw strengths: 15+ messaging platforms, native
Chrome CDP browser control, voice wake words, 13k+ ClawHub skills
- Hermes advantages called out clearly: self-improving skills as a
first-class automatic loop (vs marketplace-install model), stability
(documented OpenClaw update regressions, Telegram breakage in early
2026, WhatsApp protocol instability), security (156 CVEs and 1,184
malicious skills found in ClawHub audit vs Hermes's no marketplace
attack surface), Python/ML ecosystem, full web UI vs dashboard-only,
and first-class multi-profile support
- Category 4 framework updated to name both Hermes and OpenClaw
- Table updated: added stability/security rows, corrected web UI row
(OpenClaw has a gateway dashboard but not a full chat UI)
Claude Code corrections (researched against official docs at code.claude.com):
- Skills/Hooks: changed from No to Yes -- has a full Hooks system (13
event types, 4 handler types) and a Plugin/Skills marketplace since
v2.0.12; unified with slash commands in v2.1.0
- Messaging: changed from No to Partial -- Channels feature (Telegram,
Discord, iMessage, Webhooks) in research preview since v2.1.80; deep
Slack integration that triggers cloud sessions and creates PRs
- Added Claude Cowork row: separate product with 38+ connectors
(Slack, Gmail, Teams, Notion, Jira, Salesforce, etc.)
- Scheduling footnote updated: cloud-managed has 1-hour minimum interval
- Provider-agnostic clarified: routes through Bedrock/Vertex but always
Claude models; cannot swap to GPT or Gemini
Open Interpreter removed:
- Less relevant comparison than OpenClaw for the 'always-on agent' frame
- Kept coverage focused on the tools people actually compare Hermes to
Quick reference table:
- Now 7 tools wide (added OpenClaw, kept Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode,
Cursor, Claude.ai, Hermes)
- New rows: self-improving skills, browser/computer control, stability
- Updated: Claude Code messaging to Partial, OpenClaw web UI to
'Dashboard only', skills rows differentiated by type
* docs: apply full editorial pass from hermes-edit-list.md
Writing patterns fixed:
- Em dashes reduced by ~80%; replaced with commas, periods, parens
- All 'Not X, it's Y' negative parallelism rewritten as positive
statements; 'What Hermes Is Not' section renamed 'Scope and Limits'
and reframed positively throughout
- 'It compounds.' standalone flourish removed
- 'meaningfully' removed everywhere (was appearing 3+ times)
- 'leverages' -> 'uses' in README
- 'remembers everything' softened to 'retains context across sessions'
- Bolded Hermes column in Quick Reference table un-bolded (only genuine
differentiator cells kept bold: self-improving skills, always-on,
orchestrates other agents)
- 'The honest summary' framing removed from OpenClaw section
- 'Hermes is different.' cliche transition cut from README
- Rule-of-three slogans trimmed (e.g. 'Same agent, same memory...')
- 'tired of re-explaining' -> 'don't want to re-explaining'
Duplicate content removed:
- 'day one / day one hundred' comparison kept only in Compounding
Advantage section; removed from Pillar 1
Factual accuracy fixes:
- Claude.ai comparison updated: memory now auto-generated from history
(not just user-curated); code execution and file read/write noted
as sandboxed (Artifacts), not flat No
- Category 2: Windsurf framed as 'earliest' on memory, Copilot
'catching up'; removed overconfident 'most mature' claim
- Category 4 qualifier: 'as of early 2026' added
- '1-hour minimum' for Claude Code cloud scheduling softened to
'minimum interval applies' (specific claim unverified)
- Claude Code scheduling table note: 'cloud or desktop-app only'
(was just 'cloud-managed or session-scoped')
- README claim 'No other open-source tool combines...' removed;
was false because OpenClaw does combine all three
- OpenClaw self-improving skills: 'No' -> 'Partial' with clarification
- README OpenClaw callout: 'relies on a marketplace' softened to
'skill system centers on a community marketplace'
- 'meaningfully more stable' -> 'more stable'; 'supply chain issues'
-> 'security incidents involving malicious skills'
- OpenClaw star count: '347k+' -> '~347k' (moving fast)
- Stability row added to OpenClaw table; bold removed from table

## Contributors
Hermes WebUI is built with help from the open-source community. Every PR — whether merged directly or incorporated via rebase — shapes the project, and we're grateful to everyone who has taken the time to contribute.
### Major contributions
**[@aronprins](https://github.com/aronprins)** — v0.50.0 UI overhaul (PR #242 )
The biggest single contribution to the project: a complete UI redesign that moved model/profile/workspace controls into the composer footer, replaced the gear-icon settings panel with the Hermes Control Center (tabbed modal), removed the activity bar in favor of inline composer status, redesigned the session list with a `⋯` action dropdown, and added the workspace panel state machine. 26 commits, thoroughly designed and iterated through multiple review rounds.
**[@iRonin](https://github.com/iRonin)** — Security hardening sprint (PRs #196 – #204)
Six consecutive security and reliability PRs: session memory leak fix (expired token pruning), Content-Security-Policy + Permissions-Policy headers, 30-second slow-client connection timeout, optional HTTPS/TLS support via environment variables, upstream branch tracking fix for self-update, and CLI session support in the file browser API. This is the kind of focused, high-quality security work that makes a self-hosted tool trustworthy.
**[@DavidSchuchert](https://github.com/DavidSchuchert)** — German translation (PR #190 )
Complete German locale (`de`) covering all UI strings, settings labels, commands, and system messages — and in doing so, stress-tested the i18n system and exposed several elements that weren't yet translatable, which got fixed as part of the same PR.
### Feature contributions
**[@kevin-ho](https://github.com/kevin-ho)** — OLED theme (PR #168 )
Added the 7th built-in theme: pure black backgrounds with warm accents tuned to reduce burn-in risk. Small diff, big impact for anyone on an OLED display.
**[@Bobby9228](https://github.com/Bobby9228)** — Mobile Profiles button (PR #265 )
Added the Profiles tab to the mobile bottom navigation bar, making profile switching reachable on phones without digging into the sidebar.
**[@franksong2702](https://github.com/franksong2702)** — Session title guard + breadcrumb nav (PRs #301 , #302 )
Two clean bug fixes / features: the session title guard that stops `title_from()` from overwriting user-renamed sessions after every turn, and clickable breadcrumb navigation in the workspace file preview panel.
### Bug fix contributions
**[@tgaalman](https://github.com/tgaalman)** — Thinking card fix (PR #169 )
Fixed top-level reasoning fields being missed in the thinking card display — an edge case in how Claude's extended thinking blocks surface in the API response.
**[@smurmann](https://github.com/smurmann)** — Custom provider routing fix (PR #189 )
Fixed model routing for slash-prefixed custom provider models, which were being misrouted in the model selector. A precise fix for a real edge case in multi-provider setups.
**[@jeffscottward](https://github.com/jeffscottward)** — Claude Haiku model ID fix (PR #145 )
Caught and corrected the Claude Haiku model ID (`3-5` → `4-5` ) immediately after the Anthropic release — the kind of quick community catch that keeps the model dropdown accurate.
