Hermes Mobile

What Hermes Mobile does

Hermes Mobile packages the Hermes Agent runtime, the local Dashboard, a Node and TUI runtime and an Android mobile interface into one self-contained application. It runs Hermes Agent on the phone itself, without Termux or a remote server, by bundling Python, Dashboard assets and the required ARM64 native libraries. The app is built with Capacitor and a Chaquopy Python build, and targets Android arm64-v8a only.

The interface covers mobile chat, session persistence, file access, automation, integrations, remote instance status, memory, a Skills Hub, themes and model settings. Streaming reasoning and tool execution appear as collapsible cards. An in-app Wireless Debugging page and an android_debug agent tool allow paired-device diagnostics without Termux. The README marks version 1.1 as under active development: the source builds an ARM64 debug APK rather than a production-signed release, and the bundled development ADB host binary, derived from LADB, must be replaced before any Google Play publication.
