artemis

Hermes Bot Mode in your pocket.

Artemis is a mobile-friendly community companion built on Hermes Web Access. Open your bots’ existing Bot Chat conversations from your phone, with the same Hermes-owned history—not a separate chat store or agent engine.

Pick a bot, catch up, and keep talking. Light and dark themes, accent colors and readable Markdown let you make the conversation your own.

Install

Upgrading to 0.0.4? The installed ID is now artemis. Existing users should read the migration guide before changing installations; the old identity is not replaced automatically.

You need Hermes >=0.23.0, Bot Mode, a configured model/provider and Hermes Web Access. Keep the Hermes host running and reachable while you use Artemis. Web Access arrived in Hermes v0.22.6; Artemis requires the newer version above.

Run these commands for the Hermes home/profile that serves Web Access:

hermes plugins install https://github.com/LukeJJones/artemis --no-enable
hermes plugins enable artemis --no-allow-tool-override

Review the installer’s source warning before enabling. Already installed? Back up the plugin and any operator-owned files outside its plugin directory before replacing it; don’t blindly add --force. The renamed package’s installed ID is artemis; installing it does not replace or migrate the old identity automatically.

Set up and open

Enable Bot Mode and Web Access in Hermes using the official Web Access guide. Installing Artemis does not expose your host or configure networking.
Set up HTTPS for remote access, including private networks. My own URL is recommended for Nous Portal OAuth: the external HTTPS origin—including any port—must match the address in your browser and Hermes’s callback configuration.
Open the address below, replacing https://YOUR-HERMES-ORIGIN with your actual HTTPS origin, including its port. Sign in through Hermes, return to Artemis and select a bot.

https://YOUR-HERMES-ORIGIN/dashboard-plugins/artemis/open.html

Using Tailscale? Connect the host and remote device to your tailnet with access between them. The host’s full MagicDNS name gives you a hostname, not TLS or a proxy. Supply HTTPS through Tailscale Serve or another correctly configured HTTPS server/reverse proxy, with WebSocket forwarding. Tailscale is optional; Funnel is unnecessary for private tailnet access.

This network can also work behind HTTPS forwarding that reaches Hermes over Tailscale, using your local Hermes username/password. A mismatched external origin can still break Nous Portal OAuth. Network reachability and HTTPS do not replace Hermes sign-in; manage the origin and sign-in settings in Hermes, not Artemis.

Access and privacy

Full-owner sign-in, not chat-only access. Artemis does not create its own credentials, a phone-only grant or per-device revocation. Same-gateway all-browser sign-out is not a universal Desktop/other-gateway sign-out or credential rotation.
What it reads: the browser accesses the host’s bot roster, identity, sign-in metadata, canonical history and execution state. The plugin backend reads its own assets only—not config, credential stores, keychains or databases directly.
Where requests go: Artemis makes same-origin host requests. Hermes’s normal configured identity, model/provider and tool calls—and their costs—still apply. Artemis adds no telemetry, separate provider client or third-party CDN.
What runs: Hermes hosts Artemis. The plugin runs no shell commands, separate daemon, independent server or self-updater, and makes no runtime core overrides.
What stays: appearance preferences may use browser storage; drafts stay in page memory and are lost on reload/close. Hermes owns saved history. There is no private-transcript offline cache, offline send queue or automatic send replay. If delivery is unclear, check before trying again.

Uninstall

Close Artemis after handling any draft. Back up operator-owned plugin files before removal, then run:

hermes plugins disable artemis
hermes plugins remove artemis

This removes the companion, not your bots or chats. It does not sign you out or undo networking you configured separately.

Help

GitHub Issues is the place for bugs and setup questions. Include your Artemis/Hermes versions, device, browser and a sanitized error description. Never post credentials, login callback links or private conversations.

Development and verification notes cover pinned installs, recovery contracts and test scope. Screenshots show the interface, not a certification of every browser or remote sign-in setup.
