Hermex vs Telecmux

Hermex is a native iPhone and iPad client for your self-hosted Hermes agent. Connect to a reachable Hermes Web UI server, or enable the optional Bot Mode beta to connect directly to a Hermes agent host. Open existing sessions, start conversations, and follow streamed responses, tools, and reasoning as they arrive. Queue, steer, or stop an active run. Review file edits as diffs, browse workspace files, send photos and files, and dictate messages. Manage Kanban boards and cards, browse Tasks, Skills, Memory, and Usage, and choose models, profiles, and reasoning settings. Bot Mode adds a Bots inbox, Desktop sections, reactions, quick replies, approvals, questions, and group rooms. Live Activities keep working runs visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Optional notifications let you know when work finishes or needs your attention. The share extension stages content from other apps for you to review and send. Agent execution happens on your configured server, not on the iPhone. Your server owns your conversations, tools, and workspace. Recent sessions and messages may be cached locally for read-only offline viewing; clear that cache from Settings. There is no Hermex-hosted agent backend, tracking, or analytics service. Optional push notifications use an open-source, self-hostable relay. Message previews are encrypted on your Hermes host and decrypted on your iPhone; the relay handles device tokens, notification metadata, and ciphertext, never message text, server URLs, or Hermes server credentials. Push is off until enabled. Hermex has no in-app account creation or in-app purchases. You need your own reachable Hermes server. Not affiliated with Nous Research.

Telecmux is a focused iOS remote for cmux — the native macOS terminal built for AI coding agents. Run Claude Code (and other agents) in parallel on your Mac, then reach back to them from your phone: • See every workspace, pane, and pending agent notification at a glance • Read live terminal output, with highlighting for diffs, status lines, and prompts • Answer agent prompts in one tap with the soft-key ribbon (1 / 2 / delete / return / Esc) • Send free text or dictate by voice (on-device speech recognition) • Switch between workspaces without touching your Mac Connects over SSH using key authentication. Your private keys stay in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. Host configuration syncs across your devices via iCloud Drive. Requires a Mac running cmux 0.64+ with socket automation enabled. Not a general-purpose terminal — built specifically for the parallel-AI-agent workflow.
