What Is It

Hermes WebUI is a lightweight, dark-themed web application that puts a full Hermes Agent interface in your browser. It aims for full parity with the CLI experience — everything you can do from a terminal, you can do from this UI. There is no build step, no framework, no bundler: just Python and vanilla JavaScript.

Because Hermes Agent is designed to live on a server and be reached from anywhere, WebUI is the natural companion: it turns your agent into a first-class web app you can open from a laptop, tablet, or phone.

Getting Started

The quickest path is the official launcher script, which detects Hermes Agent (installing it if missing) and starts everything:

git clone https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui.git
cd hermes-webui
bash start.sh

This starts the Hermes server (default http://localhost:8787), and you open the UI in your browser. A Docker path exists too:

docker run -p 8787:8787 ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest

Why It Matters for Hermes Users

Hermes Agent shines when it runs long-lived on a server — with persistent memory, cron jobs that fire while you’re offline, and 10+ messaging platforms. Hermes WebUI removes the last friction point: a polished, browser-based way to interact with that always-on agent from any device. If you want a GUI over Hermes without giving up self-hosting, this is one of the most popular options in the ecosystem — and it’s deliberately dependency-free.
