Hermes Mobile v0.1.1
Hermes Mobile v0.1.1
🎉 Update: smoother mobile navigation
Smaller update, but a big QoL improvement! Swipe gestures to go back a page, or use the Android built-in back button/gesture to do the same. It feels much more natural to navigate than v0.1.0 and is easier to flip through the pages of the app—just swipe to the right with your thumb on the left half of the screen.
Nested screens now return one layer at a time, including Settings → About, Security & pairing, the New Bot wizard, Bot capabilities, Tasks, and Chat. Android Back only exits at the root Bots screen.
How the setup works
Hermes Mobile connects to an existing Hermes Desktop host. The phone does not run a second Hermes agent runtime.
- Run Hermes Desktop on your host computer.
- Run the Hermes Mobile gateway on that same host computer using the installer for your operating system below. The gateway makes the existing Hermes host available securely over your private Tailscale network.
- Install the Android APK on your phone.
- Make sure the phone and host are connected to the same trusted Tailscale network.
- Open Hermes Mobile and pair it with the gateway using the host address and the in-app authentication flow.
- Verify that real Bots and conversations load before using the app.
Do not install the phone app before the host gateway is running. The app is a client/control surface and requires a reachable, authenticated Hermes host.

The AAB is the Play Console upload candidate. Google Play review/account setup remains separate from direct APK distribution.
iPhone / iOS
iPhone/iOS support is baked into the app already but needs to be compiled on a Mac in Xcode by an Apple developer, so the iOS app is coming soon!
Host gateway installers
Download the installer for the computer that runs Hermes Desktop and use the matching platform file:
Hermes-Mobile-Gateway-Windows.ps1— Windows PowerShell installer.Hermes-Mobile-Gateway-Windows.cmd— Windows launcher for the PowerShell installer.Hermes-Mobile-Gateway-macOS.sh— macOS LaunchAgent installer.Hermes-Mobile-Gateway-Linux.sh— Linux systemd user-service installer.Hermes-Mobile-Gateway-README.md— platform setup and security notes.
After installing, run the gateway installer’s status command and confirm the service is running before opening Hermes Mobile. The gateway is intended for private Tailscale access. Do not expose port 9119 directly to the public internet.
Keep the signing keystore and any credentials private; never upload them as release assets.
