Hermex

Hermex worked great when Hermes was in a Docker. I now run Hermes self-hosted, not through the Docker web UI. Hermex can't chat against that setup — it needs the old web UI's session API, and a native install doesn't expose it. Everything else (session browsing) works fine; chat just never connects. I tried to work around it by standing up the Docker web UI alongside my native install so Hermex would have the API it wanted. That corrupted my session database — not once, but repeatedly, because the two were writing to the same session file at the same time. I eventually had to lock that path down entirely and go back to a browser-based workaround instead of the app. Is there a supported way to point Hermex at a native Hermes backend, or a plan to add one? I'd like to use the actual app again — I just can't risk the database corruption to do it.

First, I thank you for not doing any kind of an app purchases!! I don't mind paying a one time fee, but in app purchases I just keep on scrolling. Are there any plans to integrate voice to voice where we can speak to it and interrupt it when it's speaking? But still have it plugged into our home lab services like whisper STT and TTS like Kokoro or something?

Yup. It works quite well. Never know if reviews on AI-related apps are real or not, but the positive reviews for this one are legit. UI is fast and satisfying and doesn’t feel like a PWA or webview. One thing I do currently wish it had was the ability to browse to a different working folder to open a chat/session in. From what I can tell, every chat/session opens in my default workspace folder (~/.hermes-playground) and I don’t see a way to change the path / create a new dir for the session when starting it. Minor gripe though. So far, so good.
