Hermes Conduit is an independent mobile client for connecting to a Hermes agent gateway from iPhone. It brings the core Hermes workflow into a touch-first interface designed for conversations, monitoring, and quick control away from your desktop.
CHAT WITHOUT LOSING CONTEXT
• Continue sessions created on desktop or through configured connectors
• Watch responses stream in as they are generated
• Read Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, math, task lists, and Mermaid diagrams
• Inspect tool calls, thinking, and delegated-agent progress when you want the details
• Attach images, PDFs, and text files—or paste an image directly into the composer
CONTROL EACH SESSION
• Choose a provider and model without leaving the conversation
• Set a compatible reasoning effort for the active model
• Monitor context usage with token counts and a visual progress ring
• Browse workspace files and use slash commands
• Steer or interrupt an active turn
• Branch, pin, archive, refresh, or delete sessions
MORE THAN CHAT
• Switch between Hermes profiles and their profile-specific settings
• Review and trigger scheduled jobs
• Enable or disable skills, tools, and MCP servers
• Monitor configured connectors and recent gateway logs
• Receive optional notifications for approvals, input requests, completed responses, failed turns, and background tasks
BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTED HERMES
Conduit connects to the Hermes dashboard and gateway that you configure. It does not include a hosted agent service. A working Hermes installation is required.
Hermes Conduit is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nous Research.
This app is great, has had a few bugs here and there, but the developer is actively fixing, upgrading and releasing the app quite frequently. It seems like the developer must actually use the app themselves because of how quickly new functionality or fixes are applied.Definitely FIVE stars.
Finally a Hermes mobile client that doesn’t require modifying your agent installation

This just connects via your dashboard and works. Needs sone optimizations but overall it just works without having to install anything else.
Best of the breed

I’ve tried all the Hermes iPhone clients so you don’t have to. This one is by far the best at the moment.

Occasionally the app will freeze mid typing and lock up I have to force close to get it going again
Conduit 0.1.9 — What's New
• Native Kanban — Manage Hermes boards and tasks directly from Conduit, including task creation and editing, filters, board management, orchestration controls, triage actions, multi-select and bulk operations, and live board updates.
• Much better long-conversation performance — Large and Markdown-heavy chats now render and stream with substantially less work, reducing sluggishness, CPU usage, and UI stalls.
• More reliable chat streaming and resume — Returning to Conduit no longer unnecessarily reloads active conversations. Live reasoning, background/foreground transitions, reconnects, and prompt delivery are significantly more robust.
• Large-session support — Conversation history now loads in bounded pages instead of trying to load everything at once. Use Load Earlier Messages to browse deeper history without overwhelming the app.
• Stable typing during active chats — Fixed an issue where background UI updates could move the cursor or scramble text while typing, especially with hardware keyboards and very long conversations.
• Chat text size — Choose from five chat text sizes without changing the rest of Conduit. Your system Dynamic Type preference is still respected.
• Hardware keyboard improvements — Optionally use Return to send and Shift-Return for a new line.
• Read Aloud — Completed assistant responses can now be played through your configured Hermes text-to-speech provider.
• Cleaner conversation history — Internal compaction records and Hermes runtime metadata are now hidden or presented as proper system events instead of appearing as user messages.
• Voice improvements — Better STT provider detection, OpenAI/Nous provider handling, and more reliable transcription of longer recordings.
• Profile reliability — Fixed an issue that could temporarily make Hermes profiles disappear after a connection or discovery failure.
• Authentication improvements — More reliable native sign-in and Cloudflare Access/Turnstile support, including better keyboard behavior on the login screen.
Plus a large collection of fixes for scrolling, session switching, reconnects, Markdown rendering, profile isolation, YOLO state, and general stability.
