Three moves

Run, expose, connect

  1. Run your server

    Start the open-source hermes-webui on a machine you control.

    git clone https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui.git && cd hermes-webui && python3 bootstrap.py

  2. Make it reachable

    Keep it private on your tailnet with Tailscale Serve — or expose it over HTTPS with Cloudflare Tunnel. Either way, set a server password first.

    tailscale serve --bg 8787

  3. Connect Hermex

    Enter your server URL and password in the app. That’s it.

Great app to connect to Hermes

This is honestly the best app for Hermes. I’ve tried several different ways to connect and use Hermes on my iPhone, but Hermex is easily the nicest. It feels like a proper iOS app. Clean, smooth and just really nice to use.

Excellent Hermes Experience

While everyone is aggressively shoveling out their vibe-coded attempts, this app has already perfected the mobile experience for Hermes Agent.

Just Amazing

Very professionally designed. I don’t get why this isn’t all over X. Even if / when Hermes comes out with an official mobile app, can’t think of a reason to move.

My daily driver

I appreciate how careful you have been with the user experience, so well done. Thank you!

Excellent app - mirrors hermes perfectly

Such a well thought out and written app - it picks up all the essential features and settings of hermes and presents them in a really intuitive way. Highly recommend using this above any other mobile comms with hermes

Best App for Hermes Web

No subscription, no data collection, fresh and useful UI. Thanks Uzi!

Really excellent

Yup. It works quite well. Never know if reviews on AI-related apps are real or not, but the positive reviews for this one are legit. UI is fast and satisfying and doesn’t feel like a PWA or webview.

Works perfectly with Hermes

Running local AI on a local Proxmox server with the Hermex iPhone app giving me actual live and regular notifications is like a dream coming true. Normally I never write reviews, but damn this app works perfectly!

Game Changing !!

This app has a professional looking front end, is easy to install and operate and significantly improved my productivity on my Hermes server. … This app is a game changer for me !!!

Just what was needed!!!

This app goes above and beyond what I was looking for. Using the Telegram chat with Hermes is lacking in privacy and cannot have multiple chats going at once. This app solved all of my agent access problems.

Questions

Before you connect

Hermex is a native iPhone and iPad app for steering a Hermes agent you host yourself. The agent runs on your own machine via the open-source hermes-webui server; Hermex connects to it so you can open sessions, stream responses, and direct the agent from wherever you are. Your server runs — your iPhone steers.

Two things: a machine you control running hermes-webui — macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2, with Python 3.11+ — and an iPhone or iPad with Hermex, free on the App Store. If you don’t have a Hermes Agent setup yet, the server’s bootstrap offers to install one for you.

Three moves: run hermes-webui on your machine, make it reachable with Tailscale Serve or Cloudflare Tunnel, then enter your server URL and password in Hermex. About 15 minutes end to end — the full setup guide walks through every step.

hermes-webui is a third-party open-source (MIT) web UI and server for the Hermes agent. It’s the half that runs on your machine: it hosts the agent and exposes the API that Hermex talks to. It isn’t the dashboard that comes with Hermes Agent — Hermex needs hermes-webui. Hermex itself is a separate app, built for it.

Your phone talks directly to your own server — no developer backend sits in between. Tailscale Serve keeps everything on your private tailnet over HTTPS; Cloudflare Tunnel gives you a public HTTPS hostname without opening a port. Set a server password before exposing it — Hermex uses it only to sign in and doesn’t store it after login. The one exception is optional push notifications: they pass through an open-source relay, and their text is end-to-end encrypted.

No. Hermex has no analytics, ads, or tracking — your conversations travel between your device and your server. If you turn on push notifications, they go through an open-source relay that sees routing details but never message text, which is end-to-end encrypted. On the device, Hermex keeps your server URL in the iOS Keychain and a small offline cache of recent conversations you can clear anytime. Details in the privacy policy.

Yes. Hermex is open source under the MIT license — the full app source lives on GitHub, so you can read exactly what it does, build it yourself, or open an issue. The server side, hermes-webui, is a separate open-source (MIT) project.

Sending messages needs a connection — the agent runs on your server, not your device. Offline, Hermex still opens with a read-only cache of your recent conversations, so you can re-read what the agent said without a signal.

iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The server side runs wherever hermes-webui does — macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2.

Nothing. Hermex is free on the App Store — no subscription, no in-app purchases. You bring the server it connects to.

Start with the setup guide — it ends with a troubleshooting section covering the common failure points. Still stuck? Ask in the Hermex Discord or message me on X. Found a bug? Open an issue on GitHub. Server-side issues live upstream at nesquena/hermes-webui.
