Auto-pause video

Auto-pause video keeps your focus tight while you code. When you switch into a supported app, Hermes pauses browser playback and resumes it when you return. Auto-pause uses Apple Events to control browser playback. You may need to enable JavaScript from Apple Events:
  • Chrome, Brave, Arc, Edge: View -> Developer -> Allow JavaScript from Apple Events
  • Safari: Develop -> Allow JavaScript from Apple Events

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.

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
