Hermex vs Intent Mobile

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.

Large-scale agent coordination for developers, from anywhere. Run hundreds of agents in parallel and direct every one of them from your iPhone or iPad. Intent gives each task or project its own workspace with its own team of agents, keeps many workspaces running at once across multiple computers, and Intent Mobile lets you monitor, manage, and drive every workspace from the device in your hand. Intent Mobile requires the Intent desktop app running on a computer on the same local network. - Browse your workspaces and see their status at a glance. - Read the specs guiding your agents, including goals, tasks, and decisions. - Follow notes and documents as the work evolves. - Track task progress across your workspaces. - Follow agent conversations in real time, send messages, and answer questions. Pair by scanning the QR code in Intent’s desktop settings, or enter your connection details manually. Save multiple connections and switch between them at any time. If a connection drops, Intent Mobile reconnects automatically when your computer is reachable again. Intent Mobile connects directly to your computer over an encrypted local connection, without a cloud relay. The mobile app requires no account and includes no analytics or tracking. You can revoke access by rotating the pairing token in the desktop app. Requires iOS 18 or later.
