Hermes-cli is a mobile-first AI agent command center. Run CLI-style instructions on iPhone, orchestrate multi-agent task breakdown, and automate workflows end to end. Customize prompts, dispatch model instructions, and coordinate skills—without a computer. Turn “I have an idea, but I can’t break it down, run it, or reuse it” into an executable, reviewable, reusable agent command chain. Have you been here before—complex needs explained verbally, then reworked again; wanting multi-step automation while hopping between desktop and phone; piles of prompts you can’t find later; skills scattered with no single entry? Hermes-cli is built for mobile AI commands, multi-agent orchestration, and skill execution: type to dispatch, enable skills, reuse workflows. From chat to skill marketplace, memory docs to smart triggers, personal productivity to subscription quotas—ask, run, and review in one place. Core features Chat command · CLI-ready input Type or speak on the home chat; Agent Loop calls tools and skills to finish the job. Vision Q&A and quick actions reduce switching. Follow progress in the thread; results stay clear and traceable. Skill marketplace · ready to use Built-in and market skills cover reminders, weather, calendar, device control, life tools, and more. Enable or disable per card; member benefits follow in-app rules. Skill runs share daily quotas with chat for clearer usage. Multi-agent orchestration · break down and execute Divide work across agents and push complex tasks in parallel. Great for content creation, research tidy-up, process automation, and debugging. Custom prompt libraries cut repetitive typing and keep quality consistent. Smart triggers and memory Smart triggers wake common commands by condition so you tap less. Memory docs store preferences and context for better follow-ups. Chat bubbles and UI language are switchable across six locales for cross-border use. Membership · quotas and benefits Weekly, monthly, and yearly plans unlock higher daily limits and more capacity (see in-app). Account center supports restore purchases and account management. Try core features first, then upgrade when you need more runs. Other modules Account center: manage account and restore subscriptions. Multilingual UI: Chinese, English, Portuguese, German, French, Arabic, and more. Feedback: submit issues in one tap when something feels off. Legal: privacy policy, user agreement, and membership agreement available in-app. Privacy Core chat and skills follow product policy; basics work after launch. Local cache helps revisit settings; cloud behavior follows server policy. We follow the privacy policy and user agreement; personal data is not misused. Third-party AI processing notices appear on first use and in Settings for confirmation. Who it’s for AI developers and makers: debug commands and skills on the go and validate ideas fast. Productivity users: reminders, calendar, device and life skills in one tap. Creators: reuse prompt templates for batch processing and writing. Cross-border teams: six-language UI for smoother collaboration. Anyone who needs traceable instructions: chat history and execution results in one place. Not sure where to start? Send one command on Chat, enable a couple of default skills, then subscribe and expand as needed. Why Hermes-cli? Phone as HQ: run AI commands without a desktop terminal. Keep iterating. Reuse templates faster. Keep iterating. Shorter command loops. Reuse templates faster.

Aura Timer

Read full description

Aura Timer is a minimalist focus companion that deeply blends timing with flowing light aesthetics. Swipe to switch between stopwatch, countdown, and Pomodoro modes; drag the elegant dial to set duration; assign three colors to any task — once you start, the gradients breathe with your focus, making time visible and tangible. 1.Three Modes, One Swipe A clean home screen with no menus. Simply swipe to land on Stopwatch, Countdown, or Pomodoro — choosing your timing style becomes a fluid instinct. 2.Drag to Set, Like Plucking Light In Countdown and Pomodoro, the dial turns into a precise slider. Drag to nudge the time in minute increments, release to lock it in. It’s satisfying, precise, and turns the moment before starting into a small ritual. 3.Triple-Color Light Library For Reading, Writing, Workout, Meditation, or any custom task — freely pick three colors. Shimmer Timer automatically generates a unique flowing gradient. Switch tasks and the entire light atmosphere changes. Build a color-coded trigger: one glance, and you’re in the zone. Gentle on the eyes even during long sessions. 4.Dynamic Island & Live Activities Once the timer starts, a progress ring and task icon appear in the Dynamic Island. On the Lock Screen, Live Activities show the remaining time clearly. No need to unlock — a single glance keeps you informed, letting the timer quietly fade into the background and protect your deep focus. 5.Shortcuts Automation Deeply integrated with Shortcuts. Set automations to start or stop timing when you open the app, arrive at a location, or at a specific time of day. Turn focus tracking into an effortless habit you don’t even need to think about. 6.Visualized Time Spectrum Review your focus by day, week, or month. The three-color gradients from your tasks appear directly in the charts. Total time, trends, and proportions are clear at a glance. Long-press any day to replay the light flow — it’s like a lifestyle map painted in light.
