Hermes-Relay

Hermes-Relay is the native Android client for the Hermes agent platform. Point it at your own Hermes instance and chat with your agent, talk to it hands-free, and manage models, keys, skills, and profiles from anywhere. It is not a hosted AI service. It is a companion app for the Hermes agent you run, and it talks only to the instances you configure. QUICK START 1. Run hermes-agent with its API server and dashboard enabled on your computer or home server. 2. Install Hermes-Relay and enter your server address, for example http://192.168.1.100:8642. 3. The setup wizard checks what your server supports and shows a readiness card, then you are ready to chat. A plain Hermes install is enough. Chat, management, and voice work with no plugin or extra service. HOW IT WORKS Chat streams directly from your Hermes API Server or dashboard gateway in real time. Manage and voice use your Hermes dashboard with one sign-in. Run the optional relay service and the app can pair by QR code to add power tools: remote terminal, notification companion, media handoff, relay-session management, and additional voice engines. GOOGLE PLAY BUILD The Google Play build ships Hermes Bridge Core only. It has no AccessibilityService Device Control: it cannot read your screen, tap, type, swipe, screenshot, send SMS, place calls, or access contacts or location. Device Control is reserved for sideload builds distributed outside Google Play. FEATURES - Streaming Chat: real-time responses with reasoning, markdown, tool-call visibility, attachments, mid-turn steering, edit-and-resend, and a searchable command palette. - Manage Your Agent: use your Hermes dashboard from your phone to switch models, manage provider keys, edit profiles, and browse, install, and update skills. - Voice Mode: talk hands-free using your server's speech providers. Relay-paired setups add per-profile voices and an experimental realtime engine. - Works Away From Home: add LAN, Tailscale, or public routes and the app chooses the best available path on connect. - Sessions: create, switch, rename, and delete chats. Message history loads on demand. - Multiple Servers and Profiles: connect to more than one server and switch in a tap; overlay an agent profile or personality per conversation. - Relay Power Tools: optional QR pairing for remote terminal, relay-session management, media handoff, and per-feature grants. - Notification Companion: optionally forward notification metadata to your paired relay so your assistant can summarize it. Toggle it anytime in system settings. - Stats for Nerds: local-only counters for response timing, token usage, cost, and stream health. - Material You: Material 3 dynamic color, light/dark/system themes, and haptics. SECURITY AND PRIVACY - API keys and relay tokens are stored in encrypted Android storage. - HTTPS is enforced for remote connections; cleartext is limited to localhost or LAN setups. - No telemetry, ads, tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs. - Notification access and the microphone are optional and user-controlled. - All app traffic goes only to servers you configure. REQUIREMENTS - Android 8.0 or later. - A running Hermes agent for chat, management, and voice. - Optional Hermes relay service for power tools such as terminal, notifications, and media. - Network access to your server by local network, VPN, or internet.
