About

Talaria Agent Client

Features
Read full description

Talaria is a native iPhone client for Hermes Agent — the open-source agent you run on your own computer. It is not a chatbot with a server behind it. It talks to your machine, runs your models, and holds your credentials on your phone. REQUIRES HERMES AGENT You need Hermes Agent running on a computer you control: github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent Talaria connects to it over your own network. There is no Talaria account and no service in the middle. If you do not run Hermes, this app has nothing to connect to — open it and tap "Look around with sample data" to see how it works first. EVERY CONVERSATION, EVERYWHERE Sessions you started in the CLI, in the desktop app, or through a chat platform all show up in one list, with previews and the branch each was working on. Pick one up on your phone exactly where you left it. WATCH IT WORK Replies stream in as they are written. Every tool run is there to read — the command, the output, the file it touched — instead of a spinner and a summary. Charts and images the agent generates appear inline. YOU STAY IN THE LOOP When the agent is about to do something destructive, it stops and asks. Approvals, clarifying questions, sudo requests and credential prompts arrive on your phone, and nothing runs until you answer. TALK TO IT Hold the microphone and speak. Recognition happens on your phone whenever iOS has the language model installed, and falls back to your gateway's provider when it does not. Choose the engine for each direction in Settings. SCHEDULED TASKS See what your agent is set to do and when, read what happened on past runs, and edit the schedule, the model and the prompt from your phone. SKILLS, TOOLS AND MEMORY Browse installed skills and turn them on or off. See connected MCP servers and the tools they expose. Read the agent's memory. Browse the working directory. WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN Token counts and spend per model, so you can see what a conversation actually cost. CHOOSE THE MODEL PER CONVERSATION Set the model and the thinking level before you send the first message, or change either mid-conversation. Eight thinking levels, from off to ultra. HOW IT CONNECTS Over HTTPS to a gateway with a valid certificate, or with a prompt to inspect and trust a self-signed one — the same way an SSH client asks about a host key. Plain HTTP is allowed only to addresses that cannot leave a private network: Tailscale, your LAN, or localhost over a forwarded port. Credentials live in the iOS keychain. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No crash reporting. No server operated by us, because there isn't one. The only place your data goes is the gateway you point it at. Talaria is not affiliated with Nous Research.
