Hermes Desktop is the one to know about, because a machine has one Hermes, and it is the app's: Hermes is only ever installed through the app, and the `hermes` command the default agent runs is the app's. Choosing Hermes as the default agent installs the same thing the _Install > AI_ entry does: the package, and a Hermes runtime under `~/.hermes` set up by Hermes' own installer, which takes a few minutes the first time. That runtime is the one Hermes the terminal `hermes` command, the default agent and the app all use, and it updates itself with `hermes update` rather than waiting on an Omarchy release. Installing it also hands Hermes the Omarchy theme as a skin named `omarchy`, which every Hermes surface follows as you switch themes; pick another under Hermes' Appearance settings or with `/skin` if you'd rather it didn't, and Omarchy leaves that choice alone. Removing the app under _Remove > AI_ closes Hermes first, gateway included, takes that runtime with it, and keeps your chats, memories, and the skills Hermes wrote for itself unless you tell it otherwise: it asks, defaulting to no, whether that data and your connection settings should go too.
OpenClaw's desktop experience is its Control UI, which opens as a web app backed by its own local gateway. OpenClaw updates arrive through Omarchy's package updates, so skip the Control UI's own "Update Gateway" button: it would try to write into the package-managed install and fail. Removing OpenClaw under _Remove > AI_ takes the gateway service and the app with it and then asks whether `~/.openclaw` should go too, since that holds your chats and credentials alongside the plugin runtimes OpenClaw downloads for itself; the default keeps it.
OpenClaw's desktop experience is its Control UI, which opens as a web app backed by its own local gateway. OpenClaw lives in `~/.openclaw` and updates itself: use the Control UI's "Update Gateway" button or run `openclaw update`, and the gateway restarts on the new version. Omarchy only chooses the release a fresh install starts from. Removing OpenClaw under _Remove > AI_ takes the gateway service and the app with it and then asks whether `~/.openclaw` should go too, since that holds your chats and credentials alongside OpenClaw itself and the plugin runtimes it downloads; the default keeps it, and installing OpenClaw again picks it back up.
