+# Hermes Desktop v1.0.0
+
+Hermes Desktop 1.0 is a stability and trust release for the native macOS app.
+
+The app keeps its direct SSH-first model: no gateway API, no host daemon, no
+local mirror, and no custom sync layer. Your selected Hermes host remains the
+source of truth.
+
+This release also refreshes the app icon, so Hermes Desktop may look different
+in your Dock and Applications folder.
+
+Highlights:
+
+- redesigned Settings for hosts, profiles, diagnostics, sidebar preferences,
+  app appearance, terminal theme, and update checks
+- added app theme preferences and richer terminal surface customization for
+  colors and font size
+- removed the old Overview surface and experimental Desktop chat backend
+- polished the main app views across Sessions, Files, Skills, Cron, Kanban,
+  Usage, Terminal, and Workflows
+- improved release packaging with manifest and verification checks
+
+Hermes Desktop is still ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple. On first
+launch, macOS may require right-click > Open.
