What is it?

Hermes Life OS is a personal tracking and reflection assistant that stores your mood, sleep, meals, stress, focus, habits and other daily data in local memory. It runs on a schedule to send morning, midday, evening and weekly briefings, and it computes same-day and lagged correlations between metrics such as sleep and mood, so insights are based on your own logged history.

You can interact with it through a CLI, an interactive chat mode, voice, a local REST API, and Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp or Slack bots. It supports Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter and local Ollama models, and optional encryption at rest. Data can be imported from Apple Health, CSV or ICS calendar files, and exported to JSON or CSV.

The project also includes a static HTML dashboard, a live web dashboard, a retrospective report, a contribution heatmap, and a plugin system for adding custom tools. It is installable from PyPI and can run in Docker.
