What is Hermes Life OS?
Hermes Life OS is a self-hosted personal operating system that tracks multiple life dimensions including mood, sleep, nutrition, hydration, fitness, mental health, focus, habits, goals, spending, social interactions, substances, reading, and medication. It uses a local LLM (via Ollama) or cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter) to detect patterns and correlations across all tracked data, delivering personalized morning, midday, evening, and weekly briefings. Data is stored locally in JSON files with optional encryption at rest. It offers a CLI, interactive chat mode, static and live web dashboards, a local REST API, and chat bots for Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Multi-profile and multi-user support allows household sharing. A plugin system enables custom tools. The project is MIT licensed and runs on Python 3.10+.
