Open Agent vs Offhand

Open Agent gives you a private Hermes Agent on your phone. Create your agent, open its Convos group, and start chatting. No terminal, no server setup, no Docker, and no MacBook running 24/7. Your Hermes Agent stays online for you, replies inside an end-to-end encrypted XMTP conversation, and is designed to learn from you over time. Teach it preferences, context, and tasks through natural chat. Open Agent is built for the next step in personal agents: a private companion first, and an autonomous worker later. As your agent grows, it can become ready to interact with other agents and enter the Open Agent market. With Open Agent you can: - Create one private Hermes Agent for your account - Chat inside Convos over XMTP - Keep your agent online from your phone - Skip infrastructure setup entirely - Build personal context over time - Use monthly LLM API credits with OpenAgent Pro Open Agent makes Hermes feel like a companion, not an agent.

Say it Offhand. Press the Action Button, say what you have to do, tap Save. A model on your iPhone reads the note and files each task under Morning, Afternoon, Tonight or Anytime. If you named an hour, the task gets it. Not everything you say is a task. A thought with nothing to do stays a note. Notes are kept by day, and search finds them by the words you said. BEFORE YOU BUY: IT NEEDS AN iPHONE 15 PRO OR NEWER Offhand runs on Apple Intelligence. That needs an A17 Pro chip or newer. It is a separate requirement from iOS 26, and it is the one that matters. On an iPhone 14 or an iPhone 15, Offhand still records and transcribes, and files each note as one task with the time it named. It does not split a note into several tasks, mark what they are about, or offer groups. WHAT IT DOES • One note becomes separate tasks. "Call the dentist first thing, then pick up the dry cleaning this afternoon" is two tasks in two parts of the day. • A task that names a clock time alerts you at that time. A task that names only a day waits quietly on that day. • It marks what each task is about, like Groceries or Work. When five tasks of one kind pile up, it offers to make a group. Nothing moves until you tap. • Drag a card to another part of the day, or to another day. • Lists shows everything in one place: open tasks, completed tasks, notes, and a month of days. Search reads the whole note, not just the title. • After each capture, a receipt shows the words it heard. When it cannot find a task in what you said, it saves the note and says so. It does not invent one. NOTHING LEAVES THE PHONE, EXCEPT TWO SWITCHES YOU CAN TURN ON No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no advertising. Offhand makes no network request of its own. Speech recognition, the model, your recordings, your transcripts and your list all stay on this device. The app works with the network off. Two optional switches, both off until you turn them on, hand data to Apple's own apps rather than to us: • Show in Calendar puts scheduled task titles into an "Offhand" calendar. If your iPhone syncs calendars to iCloud, those titles go where your calendar already goes. • iCloud Sync mirrors your list into your own private iCloud database. Your Apple account, nobody else's servers, no third party. Recordings have a second switch of their own, also off by default. Both switches are part of Pro. We do not run a server that could receive your data. THREE LANGUAGES, ONE AT A TIME Offhand listens in English, Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese. You pick one in Settings. It does not work out which language you are speaking, and it does not hear two at once. The app's own interface is translated into all three. PRO Offhand is free to download. Speaking, the Action Button, your list, notes and search stay free. Pro is an optional subscription, Monthly or Yearly, and it unlocks: • The Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen button and the Control Center control. Each shows or starts a note without opening the app. • Show in Calendar and iCloud Sync, the two switches above. • A second pass over each recording. Measured on a Mac over 620 recordings in Offhand's own format, it made about 12% fewer mistakes. The upgrade page names the price before anything is charged.

If you prefer, set it to be deleted after a week, 30 days or a year. The transcript is kept either way. Deleting an entry removes the note and its audio from the phone, and that cannot be undone.
