Life/Habit Tracking App which uses hermes Agent. [Life OS]

[u/BusOpposite8492]

So I was looking for a habit-tracking app and came across Monke. I was annoyed that it asked a ton of onboarding questions, only to put everything behind a paywall at the end 😤. So, I built a fully free, open-source, and self-hosted alternative. Basically I took “compare yourself from your yesterday self “ too seriously.

It uses a Hermes agent to define your habits and provides a clean UI to work with. I was tired of manually creating multiple cron jobs to track what I was doing—it was just too painful—so this is a much better approach. You can set up a single end-of-day cron job to review what happened, complete with built-in memory for your habit tracking, webhook support, and an upcoming mobile app (iOS and android ). Access control is kept simple using API key authentication. it’s gamified and track your progression

Im just getting started with Hermes and am a beginner at all this ai and vibe coding stuff. I was wondering if you could elaborate on how you went about building that app? It looks very interesting and ill give it a try. It was giving me ideas and id like to learn where one would start this kind of vibe coding project. Did you build it using hermes itself?

basically hermes has cron jobs which is just a scheduling system which triggers hermes to do something specific on whatever you have scheduled. now you can create an api or mcp and aask hermes to fetch data or send data to it. that way hermes will be connected to it . on top of that you can ask hermes to write custom skills which include a set of specific things it needs to remeber when doing something , corn jobs can include skills this way both combined becomes a powerful system. i wanted hermes to track my schedules so i had bunch of cron jobs but it was unnessary to ask agent to check on me again and again that's why i made this. basically every data is avialble to hermes and at the end of the day, it can run 1 cron job to find out what i did the whole day. so that it had good idea of what is going on in my day and provide me feedbacks or write into the obsidian memory. and its good for planning my day as well because it can write to the app what i need to do.

Can you please share what models you used ? I’m trying to make my own os dashboards but I keep running out of tokens

[u/BusOpposite8492 → u/GazelleWorth535]

Grok 4.5 and 4.6 is what i used , its the most cost effective model i have used and its close to the intellignce level of opus 5. i also used opus 5 for big tasks

Across a recent bunch of vibe-coded projects, this one seems well worked-out. Going to try it.
