Desktop Automation guides

How Rocky can use the Mac in the background safely while preserving user control, privacy, and approval boundaries.

Use background desktop automation for screenshots and clicks while respecting permissions, passwords, and user focus.

Let Rocky operate desktop apps without taking over the user's cursor while preserving approvals, fresh accessibility captures, and visual verification.

Use Hermes Desktop as a native interface to the same profiles, files, sessions, tools, voice, and memory already configured for CLI and gateway use.

Set an installed terminal font or CSS font stack per Hermes profile while retaining the bundled JetBrains Mono fallback and avoiding remote font dependencies.

Keep Hermes Desktop project discovery useful and private by setting profile-scoped scan roots, exclusions, or a complete scan opt-out.

Understand the boundaries between the sticky Desktop composer picker, a live chat model, and the per-profile default used by new automated work.

Use the Desktop Artifacts gallery to find generated images, files, and links, inspect them, and trace each item back to its producing session.

Arrange simultaneous Hermes work with session tabs, focused pop-out windows, and side panes without losing conversation state.

Run persistent embedded shells beside a Desktop chat and transfer only the terminal output that is safe and useful as agent context.

Use the Desktop Git review pane for scoped diffs and deliberate commits, and create worktree lanes for isolated parallel changes.

Inspect learned skills and memories as a filterable timeline graph while keeping content privacy, edit scope, and sharing boundaries explicit.

Configure a conflict-free global shortcut for fast prompt capture without switching to the full Hermes Desktop window.

Use the command palette and conflict-aware shortcut settings to make navigation faster without creating ambiguous or inaccessible bindings.
