After 6 months of daily Hermes use, this desktop + iMessage dual-channel setup wins

The author shares the best setup after running Hermes agents for 6 months across machines: build and tune agents in the desktop app (multiple sessions, fast tweaking), then drive them daily via iMessage. An iOS Shortcut on the home screen opens the Hermes chat directly for zero-friction prompting, and multiple Hermes instances get separate renamed home-screen icons. A directly replicable "build on desktop, dispatch via messaging" agent workflow.
