No Open WebUI account required - Hermes — your self-hosted agent with live tools, approvals for sensitive steps, and scheduled work Built for mobile - Real-time streaming chat with model selection, temporary chats, search, and folders - File, image, audio, and clipboard uploads for multimodal prompts - Voice input, voice-call mode, share sheet, quick actions, home screen widgets, and Shortcuts - Rich rendering for Markdown, code, LaTeX, Mermaid, Chart.js, citations, reasoning, and tool calls - Notes, saved prompts, channels, terminal, and other features when your server supports them Built for real deployments - Sign in with username/password, LDAP, JWT, OAuth/SSO, reverse-proxy flows, and custom HTTP headers - Credentials stored securely in Keychain - No ads, no analytics SDKs, and no developer-operated relay server Important - Conduit does not host models or provide an AI service.
