Hermes Go

What Hermes Go does

Hermes Go is a native Android app, distributed through Google Play, that connects to a self-hosted Hermes Agent over a LAN or Tailscale, or to Hermes Cloud through its portal. For self-hosted setups, one prompt configures basic auth, binds port 9119, detects Tailscale and returns the connection details. Chat shows live streaming reasoning rows, tool timelines and markdown, supports voice dictation and spoken replies, and renders images, audio and HTML previews inline.

The README describes nine surfaces: Dashboard, Chat, Bots, Sessions, Brain, Work, Connect, System and Settings, totalling 236 features. Bots Mode adds named AI teammates with desktop-style @ handoff and isolated conversations. The Brain and Work surfaces cover skills, profile-scoped memory, MCP, the plugin catalog, cron jobs and a kanban board. The app is closed source and states that it has zero telemetry.
