Hermes Redde
Talk, chat and run your agent
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: Hermes profiles. Pick which agent Redde talks to, and its chats, skills and memory come with it. Talk to your own agent at home, at your desk or in the car.
Redde is a complete iPhone and iPad client for Hermes, the open-source AI agent. Talk to it or type, watch it think and use tools, approve what it wants to run, and manage everything it does: sessions, projects, profiles, scheduled jobs, and the Kanban board. It also talks straight to any OpenAI-compatible model server, local or hosted, when you just want a fast answer.
You bring the backend. Redde has no account, no analytics, and no cloud of its own; every request goes only to the server you configured.
TALK, DON'T TYPE
• Tap the mic, ask, hear the answer. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone; the reply is spoken back with the built-in voice or your own Kokoro server.
• Hands-free mode keeps the conversation going until you say "that's all".
• Interrupt Redde mid-answer: tap the mic to cut in, or type while it's still replying to steer where it goes.
• In CarPlay, ask through the car's microphone and hear the answer through its speakers. Nothing to read while you drive.
• "Hey Siri, ask Redde…" works from the Lock Screen and with AirPods. A Control Center button and Lock Screen widget open Redde listening.
• On iOS 27, Siri can message your agent in your own words and read the reply back (opt-in).
• A voice orb that moves with your voice and Redde's. Pause, replay, or have any reply read aloud.
• Hold the phone to your ear to hear replies like a call.
• Use "Ask Redde a Question" in Shortcuts to get the answer back as text for your own automations.
SEE THE AGENT WORK
• Watch reasoning as it streams, with tool calls shown as they happen.
• Approve or deny a risky command from a notification, and answer the agent's questions without opening the app.
• Answer a sudo prompt or supply a missing secret from your phone.
• Delegated subagents appear as their own rows; tap one to follow its transcript live, steer it, or stop it.
• A Live Activity shows progress.
A FULL CLIENT, NOT JUST A MIC
• Every conversation lives in your gateway's session ledger, so what you start on the phone continues on the desktop, Telegram, or the CLI. Search, pin, rename, fork, archive.
• Sessions grouped by project. Scheduled jobs (cron) with delivery targets and prebuilt blueprints. The Kanban board, live.
• Rich replies: Markdown, highlighted code, tables, task lists, images, Mermaid diagrams you can zoom, and math.
• Pictures and files from the agent arrive in the chat ready to view: camera snapshots, charts, PDFs.
• Regenerate an answer, edit and resend a question, or search a long conversation.
• Attach photos and files; export conversations as Markdown.
• Share to Redde from any app: text, links, photos or files land in the composer, ready to send.
• Home Screen widgets show the last answer or start listening; the Action Button can open Redde listening.
• Switch models mid-conversation from the chat header or with /model.
• Skills and tool sets, on or off. Edit the agent's memory and context files in place.
• Create and edit skills, or describe one and let Redde draft it.
YOUR BACKEND, YOUR RULES
• Connect to Hermes through the Hermes Dashboard or the Hermes API, on your LAN, over a tailnet, or behind Cloudflare Access.
• Or skip the agent and go straight to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: llama.cpp, llama-swap, vLLM, Ollama on your own hardware, or a hosted provider with your API key.
• Credentials stay in the Keychain. Speech recognition runs on the phone.
• Face ID lock, seven themes with your own accent and bubble colors, a choice of app icons and voice orbs, iPad split view, keyboard shortcuts.
• No account. No analytics. No tracking. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because that is what happens.
REQUIRES
A Hermes agent (github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, self-hosted or from a provider. Redde does not include a model or a hosted service.
Hermes is an open-source project by Nous Research. Redde is an independent client and is not affiliated with Nous Research.
Ratings & Reviews
Hermes profiles, clearer settings, and a round of fixes.
• Hermes profiles: pick which profile Redde talks to, right under Name in Settings. Chats, projects, skills, tools, cron jobs and memory all follow it, and the conversation list refreshes when you switch.
• On the Hermes API, each profile can have its own API key, entered on the same screen. If a key is wrong or the gateway doesn't serve that profile, Redde tells you how to fix it.
• Clearer connection names: Hermes Dashboard, Hermes API and OpenAI-compatible, now under Settings → Connection, with the Dashboard listed first.
• With only the Hermes API set up, Settings now explains why the context and memory files are locked, and takes you straight to adding your Dashboard login.
• The Kanban board's column bar now shows every time, and the selected column is easier to read.
• On iPad, Chats, Cron and Kanban get a row of their own in the sidebar instead of being cut off.
