## What is Hermes Redde?

Redde is a complete iPhone and iPad client for Hermes, the open-source AI agent. Talk to it or type, watch it think and use tools, approve what it wants to run, and manage everything it does: sessions, projects, scheduled jobs, and the Kanban board. It also talks straight to any OpenAI-compatible model server, local or hosted, when you just want a fast answer.

You bring the backend. Redde has no account, no analytics, and no cloud of its own; every request goes only to the server you configured.

TALK, DON'T TYPE
• Tap the mic, ask, hear the answer. Speech recognition runs on your iPhone; the reply is spoken back with the built-in voice or your own Kokoro server.
• Hands-free mode keeps the conversation going until you say "that's all".
• Interrupt Redde mid-answer: tap the mic to cut in, or type while it's still replying to steer where it goes.
• In CarPlay, open Redde on the car's screen and ask: your question goes through the car's microphone and the answer comes back through its speakers. Nothing to read while you drive.
• "Hey Siri, ask Redde…" works from the Lock Screen and with AirPods. A Control Center button and Lock Screen widget open Redde listening.
• Replay any answer.
• Hold the phone to your ear to hear replies like a call.
• Use "Ask Redde a Question" in Shortcuts to get the answer back as text for your own automations.

SEE THE AGENT WORK
• Watch reasoning as it streams, with tool calls shown as they happen.
• Approve or deny a risky command from a notification, and answer the agent's questions without opening the app.
• Answer a sudo prompt or supply a missing secret from your phone.
• Delegated subagents appear as their own rows; tap one to follow its transcript live, steer it, or stop it.
• A Live Activity shows progress in the Dynamic Island.

A FULL CLIENT, NOT JUST A MIC
• Every conversation lives in your gateway's session ledger, so what you start on the phone continues on the desktop, Telegram, or the CLI. Search, pin, rename, fork, archive
• Sessions grouped by project. Scheduled jobs (cron) with delivery targets and prebuilt blueprints. The Kanban board, live
• Rich replies: Markdown, syntax-highlighted code with copy, tables, task lists, images, Mermaid diagrams, and math
• Pictures and files from the agent land in the chat like messages: camera snapshots, charts and PDFs arrive ready to view, not as file paths
• Diagrams open full screen with pinch to zoom
• Regenerate an answer, edit and resend a question, or find anything in a long conversation
• Attach photos and files. Export any conversation as Markdown
• Share to Redde from any app: text, links, photos or files land in the composer, ready to send
• Home Screen widgets show the last answer or start listening; the Action Button can open Redde listening
• Switch models mid-conversation: tap the model name in the chat header or type /model. Works on the gateway and over hermes serve
• Skills and tool sets, on or off. Edit the agent's memory and context files in place
• Create and edit skills from your phone, or describe one and let Redde draft it

YOUR BACKEND, YOUR RULES
• Connect to a Hermes gateway through its API server or through hermes serve over WebSocket, on your LAN, over a tailnet, or behind Cloudflare Access.
• Or skip the agent and go straight to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: llama.cpp, llama-swap, vLLM, Ollama on your own hardware, or a hosted provider with your API key.
• Credentials stay in the Keychain. Speech recognition runs on the phone.
• Face ID lock, seven themes, iPad split view, keyboard shortcuts.
• No account. No analytics. No tracking. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because that is what happens.

REQUIRES
A Hermes agent (github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) or an OpenAI compatible endpoint, self-hosted or from a provider. Redde does not include a model or a hosted service.

Hermes is an open-source project by Nous Research. Redde is an independent client and is not affiliated with Nous Research.
