Bring the desktop's session reconnection UX to mobile: - Warm-cache fast-path: switchSession paints the cached Room transcript immediately instead of blanking the screen, then refreshes from the server in parallel (stale cache can't clobber a fresher server page) - Bounded auto-retry: a failed session.resume (WS reject or REST transcript failure) retries with exponential backoff 1s->2s->4s->8s, capped at 4 attempts; WS + REST failures in the same cycle count as one - Explicit error recovery: after exhaustion the chat shows an error card with a manual Retry instead of latching the spinner forever; manual retry resets the backoff cycle - Reconnect-aware resume: gateway (re)connect clears stale error state and re-resumes the current session on the new socket - Unit tests: warm-cache paint, bounded retry exhaustion, WS+REST dedupe, manual retry reset, reconnect restart Co-authored-by: M57 <hy4ri@users.noreply.github.com>
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 and inline reply notifications.
- System Config: Manage active profiles, installed skills, plugins, toolsets, and LLM model/provider selections.
- Operations: Stream and filter live logs, manage cron jobs, edit environment keys, test webhooks, and monitor processes.
- Gateway Status: Monitor WebSocket connection, MCP servers, messaging channels, and OAuth providers.
- Productivity: View and manage tasks via integrated Kanban boards, track agent milestones, and browse session history.
- Analytics & Billing: Usage analytics dashboard and billing/subscription management.
- Theming: 6 built-in color presets (Default, Monochrome, Gruvbox, Catppuccin, AMOLED, Neon Noir) plus Material You dynamic colors on supported devices.
- Modern UX: Native Material 3 design with pull-to-refresh, scroll-aware TopBar, and customizable bottom navigation.
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.
