Hermes for Android

What Hermes for Android does

Hermes for Android connects to a remote Hermes gateway over Tailscale, another private VPN or a local network. A three-tab bottom bar (Chats, Agent Activity, You) sits on a Material 3 design system in which each tenant profile has its own accent color, so you can see which client you are acting as. Chat has streaming responses, a model picker, slash commands with an inline palette, @ file mentions, image attachments and tool-call approval prompts.

The Agent Activity tab is a Mission Control feed grouped into Live now, Upcoming and Recent, merging conversations and cron for the active profile, and you can swipe between tenants. Other screens cover sessions with search, pinning and archiving, cron job create, edit, pause and run-now, a daily token chart with per-model breakdown, and messaging integrations with guided credential setup. The app is distributed as a signed APK on GitHub Releases.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

Built for the Hermes agent gateway as a phone-friendly companion to the Hermes Desktop app, covering its chat, sessions, models, profiles, cron and messaging features.

Requirements: An Android phone, a reachable Hermes gateway (over Tailscale, a private VPN or LAN), and the gateway URL plus either a session token or a username and password

Note: It is installed as a signed APK from GitHub Releases outside the Play Store, so Android warns about an app from an unknown developer.
