There's a new fork being worked on in 2024 at GitHub, dtseto/Hermes-master . It's a Universal build, so Hermes version 1.3.2d1 (2059) is now native to Apple silicon ARM64 machines. The UI has a few bugs (only logging in), but I'm sure the new developer will get it fixed.

Excellent! But it's ABANDONWARE: "THIS PROJECT IS UNMAINTAINED. This means that bugs will not be fixed and features will not be added unless someone else does so. Unfortunately, the former maintainers no longer have the time and/or resources to work on Hermes further." *** Note: It Still Works GREAT on macOS 11 Big Sur on M1 Macs using Rosetta 2. No inflicted tune stalling BS. Yay.

Hermes works great, is tied to my keyboard play/pause buttons, and picks up right where I left off if I pause it. Great app.
