很优秀的 app，终于不需要再用微信那个简陋的窗口与 Hermes 沟通了，然后很惊喜的是作者还做了任务管理功能，有空了要再探索一下

The app you need

This is the app I was looking for! It has so many cool features I didn’t know I need.

I wish I could send voice messages like in telegram. Just a standard voice message that gets transcribed by Hermes, not on the phone.

And the app feels a little bit buggy. The chats glitch sometimes and it lags occasionally.

Right now, I can’t get grok voice to work. I use the api key and the connection test in settings passes. However, when trying the live speech mode, it doesn’t transcribe anything nor reply’s. It’s not a microphone of speaker issue.

Thanks for the detailed review! I'm glad you're finding the features useful. Sending recorded voice messages for Hermes to transcribe is a good suggestion, and I understand why you'd want that separately from Live Voice. Sorry about the Grok voice issue. If the connection test passes but Live Voice neither transcribes nor responds, something clearly isn't working as intended. Could you open an issue at https://github.com/kaishi00/hermes-conduit/issues with your app version and steps to reproduce? I'd be happy to investigate. The occasional chat glitches and lag are also areas I'm continuing to improve. Thanks for giving Conduit a try!

Great app

Thank you for this amazing app!

Actually kinda good

I’ve tried every Hermes mobile app so far and now this one actually feels like the best. Still got a bit of yank around the edges but very usable

感谢五星支持！很高兴 Conduit 对你有帮助。也感谢你提出的反馈，我会继续完善使用体验，尤其是中文用户的相关需求！

Great, but needs to be more focus on stability rather than new features.

Let me first start off by saying I really do like this App. It’s the closest thing I can find to a native Hermes IOS app. With that being said there are some nitpicks I have with this, the first being the fact that this is very vibe-coded. That itself isn’t a big deal but I am curious to see how the developer’s agent handles this project as it grows in scale. This app genuinely is made with good intentions, and looking at the source code, you can tell security and privacy are a main focus for this which is great.

I would love to see the maintainer of this focus on fleshing out and improving the existing systems and making them more reliable before shipping new features. Things like the new voice chat still feels like a beta feature, but it is advertised as a main feature of the app and has a big yellow button in the app. I would also love the ability to remove the voice chat features from the main screen as I have found myself accidentally pressing the call button and calling Hermes without realising.

Nitpicks aside, this is genuinely a great app for controlling Hermes’, and once this gets more consistently working, this will be my main driver for Hermes.

Edit (After developer response):

Thanks so much for the quick response! The main problems I have with the Live Voice are:

- No option to mute the microphone without pausing the agent (or at least it displays as paused)
- No local option for Apple Watch TTS (now fixed, thank you, but would also love the ability for on-device TTS on the Apple Watch as well as the iPhone)
- Instructions to download higher quality voice models when using “On This iPhone” assistant speech models seem half baked or outdated.
- You have to dig through settings to enable speaker output for voice calls (I understand this is experimental though)

- I would LOVE a quicker way to swap between different Hermes instances. I manage my own Hermes’ as well as a family members and having the ability to quickly swap between them from the main menu like you can with profiles would be amazing, instead of having to go into settings and scroll down a lot.

Thanks again for the quick response. I will be posting some more ideas to GitHub as requested :)

The best Hermes iOS App ever

No doubt. This is the best Hermes iOS app ever.

That's high praise! Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying Conduit, and I hope it keeps earning that title!

Awesome app! Best iOS

Really impressed with this app so far. Easy to setup. Seems reliable and Claude gave me the go ahead. It is by far the best way for me to use my Hermes Agent. It just seems to work so far and touch and voice first are so much better than desktop for someone like me with ADHD.

Live voice chat is great but its memory system and ability to search/switch sessions has been limited so far - it also seems to have a limit on the context window based on the underlying Hermes Agents response. So you have to guide it a bit. Still useful but can be a bit clunky - not sure if that app itself can help with that or Hermes Agent live voice config but just mentioning here for feedback. Plugin updates are coming in fast and it’s hard to know if updates are safe without an agent security review. Would be great if plugin update page was more specific with change log.

Love brand and design so far, too.

Thanks and Great work!

Wow!

After resolving a problem with attachments, the app works perfectly now. I love the level of detail, the constant stream of updates and the support of iOS, iPadOS, CarPlay and now WatchOS.

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t been able to reproduce these issues in testing. If you’re willing, please open an issue on the project’s GitHub with your iOS version, Hermes version, connection setup, attachment type/size, and exact steps that reproduce the problem. That gives me enough information to investigate properly.

A thank you, and a bug

Thank you for taking your time to develop this app, it has helped me so much. I’d like to make you aware when resuming the app from the background the name of the bot displayed is not for the conversation being resumed and sometimes my response to the displayed conversation is sent to the wrong bot until I reselect my intended bot after resuming the app.

Thanks for the review! Your issue should've been addressed in version 0.1.17 (the current version on the app store). If the issue persists, please submit an issue on GitHub so I can take a look at it, thank you again!
