What is Vibecode Mode?

Vibecode Mode keeps Hermes in sync with your coding apps so you can stay in flow. It adds live status pills, a quick file browser under the Hermes bar, and smart media controls when you switch focus.

​
Supported apps

Vibecode Mode works with native apps:
  • Terminal apps: iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, Hyper
  • AI code editors: Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot
Browser-based chatbots are not supported.

​
Live status pills

When you use Hermes in supported coding apps, Vibecode Mode shows a small status pill for each AI response:
  • Live status - See when a response is generating, done, or needs attention
  • Jump back - Click the pill to return to the app and response instantly
  • Optional alerts - Play a sound or auto-redirect when the response finishes
Status pills only appear in supported coding apps. Everywhere else, Hermes works normally without the pills.

​
How to start tracking

  1. Open a supported app
  2. Hover over the Hermes bar and click the eye button
  3. Use your AI assistant - Hermes will show a status pill and notify you when it finishes

​
Quick file browser under the Hermes bar

A compact browser appears beneath the Hermes bar so you can move files without breaking your flow. You can:
  • Search with voice - Say “find …” to search your files
  • Browse folders - Expand folders and preview items
  • Drag files out - Drop files into your editor, chat, or desktop

​
Automatic file surfacing

New screenshots and downloads appear automatically in the quick-access browser, so the latest files are always one gesture away. Control this in Settings -> Defaults with Show new files automatically, and optionally set custom screenshot and downloads folders.

​
Voice commands

These commands work best with Vibecode Mode enabled:
CommandWhat it does
”find …”Searches files in the quick file browser
”screenshot”Takes a screenshot and surfaces it immediately
”screen record”Opens the macOS screen recording toolbar
Custom “open folder …”Use the Open Folder action to open a specific folder
