Hermex is a native iPhone and iPad client for your self-hosted Hermes agent. It connects directly to your Hermes host, including a Hermes Webapp. Existing Hermes Web UI servers keep working as legacy. 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. Switch between Bots and Sessions, manage Kanban boards and Cards, browse Tasks, Skills, Memory, and Usage, and choose models, Profiles, and reasoning settings. Make Hermex yours with themes, an accent color, fonts, and text size. Move to Hermes brings a Web UI server’s chats, drafts, and notifications over to your Hermes host. 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.

About

Collision Radar

Read full description

Before you spend weeks building your app, find out what already exists. Collision Radar takes a plain description of your app idea and searches the App Store and for the most similar apps already published. You get raw comparison data: names, developers, categories, store links, and a semantic similarity score for each match, plus a minimum estimate of how many similar apps exist in total. WHY IT MATTERS Hundreds of thousands of new apps are submitted every year, and store review teams increasingly reject apps that duplicate what is already widely available. Knowing the landscape before you build helps you differentiate early, or move on to a better idea before sinking time into a crowded one. HOW IT WORKS 1. Describe your idea in a few sentences. 2. Get the top 30 most similar existing apps, ranked by semantic similarity, in seconds. The analysis goes beyond keyword matching. Collision Radar compares the meaning of descriptions using multilingual language analysis, so it finds functional overlap even when the wording differs. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your ideas are never stored. Descriptions are processed in memory and discarded. No account, no email, no tracking, no ads. The app uses an anonymous identifier generated on your device, and nothing else. HONEST DATA, NOT VERDICTS Collision Radar does not predict store review outcomes and does not tell you whether your app will be approved. It shows you what exists, so you can decide for yourself how to stand out. PRICING 4 free scans on every device. Additional scans available as simple credit packs. No subscriptions. Built by an independent developer, for independent developers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hermex at none against Collision Radar's 1. Hermex also leads on chart position (#49 vs unranked). Collision Radar's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
