About This File
X-Lifestyle Hermes adds a small clamshell device your character finds -- never released, of unknown origin -- that works as a personal day planner.
Closed, it sits as a small widget in your sidebar; flip it open and it takes over the middle of the screen without ever leaving the scene you're in.
Requires X-Lifestyle Core, version 0.2.0 or later:

Closed Widget.
The sidebar LCD -- today's date, your next task, and how many reminders are waiting, at a glance.
The phone shell.
A real teal-lit screen and a dock along the bottom for your most-used apps. Closes with a quiet background save, so a note or journal entry you just wrote isn't riding on the next autosave alone to survive a crash.
Calendar.
A day-box grid showing tasks, reminders, and journal entries across the week at a glance. Always on the dock.
Reminders.
Set one for a real in-game day and it surfaces on Core's own sidebar sticky-notes board when it's due, reposting as "OVERDUE: <text>" if left undone instead of quietly vanishing. Always on the dock.
Notes.
Quick-capture, short notes. Always on the dock.
Journal.
Longer-form daily entries in your character's own voice. Starts off the dock, favoritable onto it if you use it often.
Apps.
Where you manage your two dock favorite slots -- toggling an app on or off costs nothing, unfavoriting always frees the slot back.
Developer Guide: adding your own app (`BMFT.Hermes.Apps.register()`):
Any mod can add its own screen to Hermes' dock and Apps grid, the same extension point every app above uses internally.
Declare `x-lifestyle-hermes` in your own `requiredMods`, feature-detect the registry, and register at your script's own load time:
window.BMFT.Hermes.Apps.register({ id: "your-mod-app", label: "Your App", render: renderYourScreen, });

Settings. Apps-screen only, never on the dock. Cycle the phone's own chassis finish (Quicksilver, Stygian, Midas, or Random), switch how Reminders displays its list, and unlock a Theme change tied to a real in-game moment -- you'll know it when it happens. Locked until then, unlocked for good on that save afterward.
A quick note on how I build this: I use AI (Claude Code) as a tool throughout development -- writing code, drafting docs, researching how the base game actually works.
Every change gets reviewed before it ships, and I take real care to keep that process from producing anything abusive, unsafe, or careless. But I'll say it plainly: humans make mistakes, and AI makes mistakes too.
If something looks wrong, undocumented, or off, tell me -- that's exactly the kind of feedback that makes this better.
Built with help from the X-Lifestyle MCP -- grounded, citable X-Change Life modding knowledge for AI assistants. https://xcl-mcp.binarymisfit.dev
