Hermes — the face of your agent

HERMES CONSOLE

Your AI agent, in your pocket.

Not a chat app.
A console.

  1. > chat --streaming --sse --attachments

    Streaming chat

    Real-time conversation with your Hermes Agent: responses arrive token by token, with visible reasoning and attachments. No cloud, no middlemen.

  2. > workspace --sessions --kanban --profiles

    Full workspace

    Sessions, kanban board, model picker and agent profiles. Full command of your Hermes, not just the chat.

  3. > term --ssh --sftp --pty

    SSH terminal + SFTP

    A real terminal inside the app: SSH shell with a PTY and an SFTP browser to move files between your phone and your server.

  4. > cron --cron --jobs --reports

    Cron & automation

    Create, edit and trigger scheduled jobs from your phone. Native cron syntax, remote or local execution, reports for every run.

  5. > approve --risk --notifications

    Approvals with judgement

    The agent asks before acting: every command arrives with its risk level and you approve or reject it — even from a notification with the app closed.

  6. > spark --companion --moods

    Spark, your companion

    Hermes' spark lives in the app: an animated mascot that mirrors your agent's state — thinking, connecting, celebrating.

> the app

The whole console, in your hand.

Streaming chat, a full workspace —sessions, kanban, models, SSH terminal— and your agent always one tap away. This is Hermes Console from the inside.

 > connection

One server, or as many as you want.

Hermes Console is a pure client: your agent runs on your machine and the app connects over whatever network you choose. Nothing leaves that loop.

  1. > connect --qr --gateway

    Paired in seconds

    Scan the QR the installer prints and the app configures itself: host, port and key. Prefer manual? Host, port 8642 and your API key.

  2. > instances --multi --switch

    All your instances

    Home, VPS, homelab: save each server with its encrypted key and switch between them on the fly. The app diagnoses what every instance supports.

 > setup --guide

Three steps. Your wire.

From zero to commanding your agent in minutes. No telemetry along the way.

1

Install the server

One command on your server, VPS or homelab. It brings up the Gateway, the Dashboard and the Mobile Bridge as services that survive reboots.

curl -fsSL … | sh
2

Scan the QR

The installer prints a pairing QR. Scan it from the app and the connection configures itself. Prefer manual? Host, port and API key.

hermes://pair
3

Command from your pocket

Done: chat, cron and your agent streaming back, from anywhere.

Privacy first.
By design.

Not a marketing promise. It's the architecture. Hermes Console has nowhere to send your data, because it never touches it.

  • No telemetry Zero analytics, zero tracking, zero calls home. telemetry
  • No third-party accounts No login, no cloud provider between you and your agent. accounts

The essentials to connect your agent. No detours.

Requirements --requirements
  • Android 7.0 or newer
  • A Linux server (VPS, homelab, mini-PC…) with systemd running Hermes Agent
  • The phone must reach the server over the network: LAN, Tailscale or HTTPS
Server install --install
  1. On your server, run the one-line installer: curl -fsSL …/hermes-mobile-setup.sh | sh
  2. It installs Hermes Agent if missing and brings up three services: Gateway (:8642), Dashboard (:9119) and Mobile Bridge (:9131)
  3. When it finishes, it prints a pairing QR for the app

The services are user systemd units: they survive reboots without touching anything.

Connecting --connect
  1. With QR: scan it from the app (or open the hermes://pair link) and you're done
  2. Manually: host (LAN IP, Tailscale IP or domain), port 8642 and your API key (API_SERVER_KEY in ~/.hermes/.env)
  3. You can save several instances and switch between them

How you expose your server is up to you: local network, Tailscale or direct HTTPS. The app just needs to reach it.

Settings --settings
  • Themes — 13 dark and light themes, including pure OLED; font and text size to taste
  • Language — Spanish and English
  • App lock — biometrics or PIN
  • Notifications — approvals and runs in the background, no Google services
  • Gateway URL and API key — encrypted in the Android Keystore
FAQ --faq

Does it work without internet? Yes, as long as phone and server share a network.

TLS certificate error. On a private network use LAN or Tailscale; for public domains, a valid certificate on the gateway.

I lost the QR. Run hermes-pair.sh on the server and it prints it again, no reinstall.

Does it collect data? No. No telemetry, no tracking. See the privacy section.
