Memory Pane
See what Hermes remembered in this chat. Fix it in one click.
A Hermes Desktop pane for the built-in memory. Everything Hermes saves, updates or forgets in the chat you are looking at appears beside it, live. Edit an entry, delete it, or undo what the agent did, without leaving the conversation.

Powered by Hermes
Memory Pane is a community-built plugin for Hermes Agent. It reads the same MEMORY.md and USER.md files the built-in memory uses, and writes through Hermes's own memory store. It is not a memory provider and changes nothing about how Hermes remembers.
Two small halves do the work. A tool_execution middleware notes what each memory call changed and which chat made it. The Desktop pane shows those changes for the focused chat, next to everything in memory.
Memory you can see
| This chatEach change the focused chat made: Remembered, Updated with the old text struck through, and Forgot. Background memory review counts too, since it runs under the chat's session. | All memoryEvery entry in About you (USER.md) and Notes (MEMORY.md), with how much of each character limit is used. Entries changed in this chat have a dot. |
| Fix itHover an entry to edit or delete it. Add writes a new one. | Undo itTake back an entry Hermes added or updated, or Restore one it forgot. |
Small decisions, already made
- Every write goes through Hermes's memory store, with the same file lock, character limits and injection scan the agent gets. A refused write shows Hermes's reason and changes nothing.
- Undo refuses when an entry has changed again since. Edit it directly instead, so nothing newer is lost.
- Hermes loads memory into the system prompt when a chat starts. Your fixes apply to new chats, and the pane says so after each one. Tell the current chat if it needs to know now.
- The recorder never changes, delays or retries a
memorycall. If memory can't be read, the call runs as usual and nothing is recorded. - The pane polls every 4 seconds and follows whichever chat you focus.
- Recorded changes are kept for 90 days.
Make it yours
Install
hermes plugins install Adolanium/hermes-memory-pane --enable
Restart Hermes. Then turn on Memory in Capabilities → Plugins and open it on the right (Ctrl+J), or run Open memory pane from the command palette.
Memory Pane needs Hermes Agent 0.22.2 or later, with Hermes Desktop.
Profiles
The agent half records per profile. Install and enable it in every profile you want to follow:
hermes -p <profile> plugins install Adolanium/hermes-memory-pane --enable
Check it
hermes plugins validate . --install-deps
Privacy you can explain in one breath
memory tool call → read MEMORY.md / USER.md before and after → changes.sqlite3 in your Hermes home → the pane
- What it reads.
MEMORY.mdandUSER.mdin the active profile'smemoriesfolder, around eachmemorycall and while the pane is open. - What it writes. Memory entries, only when you edit, delete, add or undo in the pane. Its own change log at
$HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/hermes-memory-pane/changes.sqlite3. - Nothing else. No network calls, no credentials, no shell commands, no background processes, no telemetry.
Compatibility
| Hermes Agent | Desktop | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 0.22.2 (minimum) | Windows 11 | Tested by hand in the app |
Limits
- Only the built-in memory is covered. External memory providers keep their own records.
- A call that replaces one entry shows as Updated. When one call changes several entries, an old and a new entry pair up only if their text is similar; otherwise they show as Forgot plus Remembered.
- Edits made outside Hermes, such as in a text editor, show in All memory but not in This chat.
- Changes made before the plugin was enabled are not in This chat.
- The pane reads the backend Desktop is connected to. A chat that belongs to another profile's backend shows after you switch to it.
- The plugin writes through
tools.memory_tool.load_on_disk_store, a Hermes internal, so it shares the agent's lock and limits. A Hermes release that moves it needs a plugin update.
