Hermes Mobile Beta: Nous Research Fills Every Slot; Full Release After Thanksgiving Is Claimed
Nous Research has an official beta of its Hermes mobile app for iPhone and Android. Hermes is its open-source AI agent, a helper that can act on your behalf. Users report that the invite links are full or broken. A full release after Thanksgiving is only reported by a third party, so it is not confirmed.
What you can do: Start from the official Nous page, not an app-store search, because several unofficial Hermes apps exist. Check that page again for new seats.

How to Restrict What Claude Desktop Can Access on Your Computer
Claude Desktop cannot see your files until you add something that grants access, such as a connector called an MCP server, an extension or a Cowork session. This guide explains how to limit that access to one folder. It also covers firmer options, such as a separate computer account.
What you can do: Open Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config. If the file is empty, Claude has no file access. If you add a connector, limit it to one folder.
