* fix(#584): follow stream without freezing (persistent snapshotFlow) The auto-scroll LaunchedEffect was keyed on (messages.size, streamingMessage?.content?.length, isThinking) — those change on EVERY streamed token, so the effect restarted per token and cancelled the in-flight animateScrollToItem, leaving the view stuck/frozen mid-stream. Replace it with a single persistent LaunchedEffect(Unit) + snapshotFlow + collectLatest. The streaming follow now uses an instant scrollToBottom (animated=false) which is idempotent per token and has no animation to cancel; a discrete new message arriving while at the bottom still animates. Because the effect runs once, mirror the params through rememberUpdatedState and read them live inside snapshotFlow/collectLatest so the flow actually fires per token and session-switch detection uses the current session id (rather than stale first-composition closure captures). * fix(#584): leave scroll free during streaming (no auto-follow) m57 follow-up: the previous fix stopped the freeze but still force-pinned to the bottom while streaming. Now, while a message is streaming, the scroll is left completely free — no auto-follow of the streaming message — so the user can scroll up/down to read while it generates. Auto-scroll only on explicit actions (send / FAB / session switch) and when a discrete non-streaming message lands while already pinned to the bottom. streamingMessage is dropped from the snapshotFlow keys so the flow no longer churns per token. --------- Co-authored-by: M57 <m57@hermes-control.app>
Hermes Mobile
Native Android companion app for your Hermes AI agent.
Overview
Hermes Mobile is the native Android client for Hermes Agent. It connects securely to your local Hermes gateway (REST API and WebSocket TUI Gateway) over LAN, giving you pocket control over your AI assistant.
Features
- Real-Time Chat: Message your agent with Room-backed local database history.
- System Config: Manage active profiles, installed skills, plugins, and LLM model selections.
- Operations: Stream and filter live logs, manage cron jobs, edit environment keys, and test webhooks.
- Gateway Status: Monitor WebSocket connection, MCP servers, and messaging channel status.
- Productivity: View and manage tasks via integrated Kanban boards and track agent milestones.
- Modern UX: Native Material You design supporting dynamic color theming, scroll-aware TopBar, and pull-to-refresh.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- JDK 21+ (required for Kotlin compilation and the Gradle toolchain)
- Android Studio (Ladybug+) or a Nix development environment
Build & Deploy
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Hy4ri/hermes-mobile.git cd hermes-mobile - Build the debug APK:
./gradlew assembleDebug - Install on your emulator/device:
adb install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
Note: For release builds, ensure keystore environment variables (KEYSTORE_PATH, KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, KEY_ALIAS, KEY_PASSWORD) are configured, or let the GitHub Actions release workflow handle it on tag push (v*).
Authentication
Once the app is installed, you need to point it at your Hermes gateway. The app auto-detects which auth mode the dashboard is using — just fill in the fields it shows.
1. Start the dashboard
On your host machine, start the dashboard:
hermes dashboard # loopback (127.0.0.1:9119) — no auth needed
hermes dashboard --host 0.0.0.0 # LAN — requires auth
For LAN access, configure credentials in ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
dashboard:
basic_auth:
username: admin # pick your own
password: hermes # pick your own
2. Connect the app
Tap Sign in on the landing screen and enter the dashboard host and port. The app probes the dashboard and reveals the fields you need:
| Auth mode | When | What you fill |
|---|---|---|
| Token only | Dashboard on same machine (loopback) | Token — grab from ~/.hermes/dashboard-token.txt or ~/.hermes/.env (HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN). The app can also auto-extract it from the dashboard page |
| Basic auth | Dashboard on LAN with password gate | Username + Password (default admin / hermes). The app logs in, gets a session cookie, and mints a WebSocket ticket automatically |
The app communicates over plain HTTP — it's designed for trusted local networks only. Do not expose your Hermes gateway to untrusted networks.
Connection profiles
Have multiple gateways? Switch between them in Settings → Connection profiles. Each profile stores its own host, port, and token — just tap to swap.
Pairing (admin)
The Pairing screen lets you approve or revoke agents and services that are trying to connect to your gateway, such as Telegram or Discord sessions.
