## What is Hermes Paper?

Hermes Paper harness is a client for the open-source Hermes agent running on your own computer or server. Bring your home server, VPS or Mac mini; the app talks to it directly.

  • Chat with live tool progress: see every command your agent runs, how long it took and what it returned.
  • Approve risky commands from your phone, in the chat, from a notification or on the lock screen.
  • Replies keep running on your server when you lock your phone, and pick up where they were when you come back.
  • Manage your server's cron jobs: schedules, pause and resume, run now, and a full run history.
  • Every session in one place: chats from the CLI, Telegram and Discord appear alongside the ones you start here.
  • The Hermes Daily: a front page with server status, upcoming jobs, what needs your attention and your activity.
  • Notes that work with your agent: save any reply, attach notes to a question, and have Hermes summarize or extend them.
  • Share links, PDFs, photos and videos from any app, plus Siri, Shortcuts, widgets and Live Activities.
  • Server keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. Nothing goes through our servers.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-10-30

Sign in with a user name and password
Some hosts give you only a web page to sign in to, not an API key. Add your server with "User & password" to connect through the Hermes dashboard or the Hermes WebUI. Paste the address from your browser and the app works out which one it is.

• Send Hermes any file: on these servers, PDFs, spreadsheets, archives and any other file you attach are uploaded in full.
• Files from Hermes: files Hermes makes for you appear as cards under the reply. Tap one to open, share or save it.
• Answer Hermes's questions: when Hermes needs a decision, it asks you one question at a time, with suggested answers or room for your own.
• Agents, Skills, Tools, jobs and note actions work on these servers too.
• Messages sent from another device now show what you typed, with files and notes as chips instead of their full text.

### 2.1 — 2026-10-28

iCloud sync and chat history fixes.

• iCloud sync: the servers you've added now follow you to a new device or a fresh install, with no need to set them up again.
• Chats after a reinstall: opened chats no longer come up empty. Your history loads in full, including messages with photos, videos and files.
• No more duplicate servers when you add one by hand while iCloud is syncing.
• Messages that start with a square bracket now appear as you wrote them instead of being merged into the previous message.

### 2.0 — 2026-10-27

Hermes Paper 2.0 is our biggest update yet.

CHOOSE HOW HARD HERMES THINKS
• The new effort dial sits next to + in the message box. Slide from Low for quick, cheap answers to Max for the hardest problems.
• Each chat keeps its own setting, /effort changes it as you type, and Settings has a default for each server.
• Shows on servers that support it.

A REDESIGNED AGENTS TAB
• The board opens on open tasks, most urgent first. See who's working at a glance, tap a teammate to see only their tasks, filter by status or search.
• Edit a task after you've handed it out, or release a stuck one so it can be picked up again.
• Runs going for more than 45 minutes get a Long run tag.
• Offline? The tab keeps your last board and tells you.
• Give each teammate their own effort level. Team setup can be stopped and resumed later, and the team editor keeps what you typed if saving fails.

SMOOTHER CHATS
• Long chats open straight at the newest message, with no flicker or blank screen. Earlier messages load at the top when you want them.
• The jump-to-latest button only appears when you've scrolled up.
• What you're typing stays put while a reply streams in, and sending an edited message as a new one keeps the original.

REPLIES YOU CAN COUNT ON
• After a dropped connection, replies carry on where they were, and Stop works even mid-reconnect.
• The lock screen no longer says "All done" while Hermes is still working.
• If your server doesn't know the model you picked, the chat tells you instead of quietly using another.

AND MORE
• Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open more reliably, and damaged or very large files no longer crash the app.
• Anything you share before adding a server now waits for you.
• Deleting a chat or a server leaves nothing behind, Hermes Cloud restores more reliably, and an approval always answers the request you're looking at.
