Helmline
Self-hosted agents, on the go
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Stay connected to your self-hosted AI agents. Follow sessions, review approvals, share content, and monitor active work from iPhone.
Helmline is a native iPhone control surface for your own self-hosted AI agent runtime.
Connect to a compatible Hermes Gateway running on your Mac or VPS, then keep track of work without moving the runtime or its data onto your phone.
With Helmline you can:
- Continue private sessions and streamed conversations
- Follow active runs and inspect execution status
- Review sensitive approval requests with Face ID or device passcode confirmation
- Share text, links, images, and audio from the iOS Share Sheet
- Record voice input and longer audio for transcription by your selected Gateway
- Manage multiple isolated Mac and VPS connections
- Follow task status through Widget and Live Activity surfaces
- Run, pause, resume, and remove supported automations
The iPhone app does not execute desktop tools locally. Files, tools, models, credentials, and long-running work remain on the host and Gateway you control.
Helmline is free, requires no Helmline account, contains no advertising, and has no in-app purchases. Gateway credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain.
Helmline is independently developed. It is compatible with the open-source Hermes Agent project but is not an official Nous Research product and is not endorsed by Nous Research.
