Quick Start

Prerequisites

• JDK 21+ (required for Kotlin compilation and the Gradle toolchain)
• Android Studio (Ladybug+) or a Nix development environment

Build & Deploy

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Hy4ri/hermes-mobile.git
   cd hermes-mobile
   

2. Build the debug APK:

   ./gradlew assembleDebug
   

3. 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.
