First open creates a session whose DB row the gateway persists lazily on the first prompt, so a freshly created (never prompted) session CANNOT be resumed. Any WS reconnect while sitting on it — tab switch + socket blip, app background, gateway restart — re-fired session.resume on that key; the gateway answered 4007 "session not found" and the bounded retry (desktop parity, #766) burned its budget on a permanently invalid key, leaving an error popup whose Retry could never succeed. - Skip the reconnect re-resume (and the doomed REST transcript fetch) while the current session has no confirmed server-side row (REST 200 / resume success / first MessageStart = first prompt accepted). Sessions picked from History stay optimistic-resumable even while their page transiently 5xxes. - Treat a definitive "session not found" (4007 RPC / 404 REST) as terminal: recover with a fresh chat + notice instead of the dead-end Retry overlay. - session.branch: keep the storage key in currentSessionId (the handler stored the runtime registry id, so every later resume 4007'd and the transcript 404). Tests: reconnect on an unconfirmed session must not resume or error; 4007 must recover with a new session (deduped, notice shown); branch keeps the storage id (currentSessionId + transcript fetch key). RED-GREEN proven: all three fail on the pre-fix code and pass with it. 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.
Screenshots
Chat, automation, productivity, and agent configuration — from your phone.
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.
