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.

Great agent app

Very useful app for Hermes agent. Please add Russian language in future updates

Thanks for the review! Good news: Russian localization is already included in the next update, 0.1.17, which is currently awaiting App Store review. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for supporting Conduit!

Fantastic!!!

Really wonderful UI for the full Hermes experience. Voice mode is amazing.

Thank you so much! Voice has been one of my biggest areas of focus lately, so it's great to hear you're enjoying it. More improvements are on the way!

Amazing client

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Really appreciate the support. Glad Conduit is useful to you!

No ready for production use

The app often hangs, sessions are only displayed after app restart and working with attachments fails reproducibly. Basic chats are working.

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.

CarPlay doesn’t function

Really wanted to like this app because I could see myself working while driving. The CarPlay functionality just plain doesn’t work. Says voice is unavailable even though I ensured it was allowed in settings for the app.

Response from developer

CarPlay uses Conduit’s existing Voice configuration. Allowing microphone/Voice permissions alone does not configure Voice. Please open Conduit → Settings → Voice. If it shows “Voice unavailable,” you’ll need to configure either an STT/TTS provider or one of the supported Live Voice providers with the required API credentials first. Once Voice works in Conduit, CarPlay will use that same configuration. If Voice is fully configured and CarPlay still shows unavailable, please open a GitHub issue so I can troubleshoot it.

Hard

Can’t understand

If there’s something specific that’s unclear, please open a GitHub issue and describe what you’re trying to do. “Can’t understand” doesn’t give me enough information to improve anything.

Passkeys not supported

Doesn’t work with passkeys. My hermes is integrated with pocket id oidc which only supports passkeys.

Response from developer

Pocket ID is a third-party OIDC configuration and is not currently a supported authentication flow in Conduit. If you’d like support for that setup, please open a feature request on GitHub with the details of your Hermes/Pocket ID configuration.

Best option for speech

there's some UI changes this app needs like creating new chat in a project with no chats doesn't present the + for whatever reason. but otherwise it's been a great app for connecting to my cloud skiff agent, and I am using Cloudflare zero trust to access and token my way into my harness with Conduit. Speech sometimes doesn't work but when it does it's amazing. Best reason to use this over Hermex, imo.

You may want to try the latest build. Voice has changed quite a bit since this review, Conduit now has live conversational voice integration with both Gemini Live and GPT Live, including delegating work to Hermes during the conversation. Curious what you think of it now.

terrible connection options

doesnt repect tailscale dns, fails on self signed certs. NOT HOBBYIST FRIENDLY

Response from developer

Tailscale and MagicDNS work normally with Conduit. Self-signed certificate rejection is a TLS trust issue, not a Tailscale DNS issue. If your setup behaves differently, please open a GitHub issue with the actual connection error and configuration so it can be diagnosed, an App Store review doesn’t provide enough information to troubleshoot an environment-specific networking problem.

Works mostly

Occasionally the app will freeze mid typing and lock up I have to force close to get it going again

Response from developer

The latest build includes a lot of work specifically around session responsiveness and UI stalls. If you still see freezes while typing after updating, please open an issue with whatever details you can provide — that’s something I definitely want to reproduce and fix.

Not working with CF

The app does not work with Hermes Agent behind Cloudflare Authentication.

Best of the breed

I’ve tried all the Hermes iPhone clients so you don’t have to. This one is by far the best at the moment.

Finally a Hermes mobile client that doesn’t require modifying your agent installation

This just connects via your dashboard and works. Needs sone optimizations but overall it just works without having to install anything else.

This is the iPhone app just like the desktop app

This app is great, has had a few bugs here and there, but the developer is actively fixing, upgrading and releasing the app quite frequently. It seems like the developer must actually use the app themselves because of how quickly new functionality or fixes are applied.

Definitely FIVE stars.

Raw but promising

The only app I’ve found which works directly via Hermes dashboard api. No webui, o external dependencies.

The UI is a bit raw though, but I believe the developer will improve it sooner or later.
