iHermes: app and UI for Hermes Agent

Mobile-first Expo client for Android, iOS and web that connects directly to your own Hermes agent

What iHermes does

iHermes is a mobile-first client for Hermes Agent built with Expo and React Native. It runs on Android, iOS and the web as a PWA and connects directly to your own Hermes agent, with no mandatory backend service. You can save several Hermes instances, switch between them, and see connection status with a manual refresh.

Chat replies stream over SSE, with a thinking skeleton and stage hints, and a step list shows tool calls in order with success or failure status. Messages can be retried or copied, and chat bubbles render basic Markdown including headings, bold, links, images and tables. Settings cover warm and soft themes, an animation toggle, and a Chinese or English interface that follows the device language. Android builds are published as an APK release, iOS users can try it through Expo Go or build it themselves, and the web version needs an HTTPS Hermes address with CORS configured.
