Hermex vs Agent Maxer

Hermex is a native iPhone and iPad client for your self-hosted Hermes agent. It connects directly to your Hermes host. 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. 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.

Agent Maxer keeps the status of your AI coding sessions visible across your Apple devices. Connect the Mac relay to supported local clients, then follow your sessions on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Know when work is active, waiting for input, complete, idle, or in error without opening every window. STAY AWARE • Follow supported Codex, Claude Code, or Grok Build sessions. • Choose recent or pinned sessions and group work into a Power Queue. • Acknowledge completed sessions from the iPhone app. USAGE AT A GLANCE • See supported Codex usage windows and reset times. • Use weekly budget, pace, runway, heatmap, and ring views. • Add Home Screen widgets in multiple sizes. AMBIENT APPLE SURFACES • Start a Live Activity for Lock Screen and Dynamic Island status. • Check session state on Apple Watch. • Arrange the same information in the customizable Mac and iPad Overview. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Agent Maxer reads bounded status and usage metadata from supported local clients through your Mac relay. Once the relay is configured, formatted completed Codex responses are encrypted on your Mac and shared automatically with your signed-in iPhones for local speech playback. Responses are available for up to 30 days, or until replaced by a newer response in the same session or evicted when storage is full. Listening does not delete a response. Expiry is not a guarantee of physical deletion at that time. Microphone recordings and synthesized audio are not uploaded. Learn more at https://agentmaxer.com/privacy.
