Hermex vs AgentPanes

Hermex is a native iPhone client for your self-hosted Hermes Agent server. It is designed for people who already run a reachable Hermes Web UI server and want a focused mobile way to keep up with agent work from iPhone. Connect to your own server, open existing sessions, start new conversations, and follow streamed responses as they arrive. Manage Kanban boards and cards, review status-focused work, update workflows, add comments, inspect history, and preview or launch Dispatcher runs. The app also supports model/profile/reasoning controls, file and photo attachments, workspace file browsing, tasks, skills, memory, usage details, and a share extension for staging content from other iOS apps. Agent execution happens on the configured Hermes server, not on the iPhone. Prompts, attachments, shared content, workspace requests, board and card actions, and session actions are sent only to the server URL you enter. Recent sessions and messages may be cached locally for offline read-only viewing, and the cache can be cleared from Settings. Hermex does not provide a hosted Hermes backend, in-app account creation, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. You need your own reachable Hermes Web UI server to use the app. Not affiliated with Nous Research.

Your agents keep working when you step away. AgentPanes brings their terminals within reach. Connect to your own computers over SSH and find agents running in Herdr and tmux. Open a specific agent, switch between agents from the terminal, or start a normal SSH connection when you need a shell. FIND YOUR WORK - View supported agents across the machines you choose. - Sort by observed activity, pin important agents, and see output changes since your last visit. New output is not a claim that a task has finished. - Switch agents without returning to the main list. A TERMINAL BUILT FOR YOUR PHONE - Use terminal keyboard controls, text selection and supported links. - Scroll terminal output and adjust text size. - Keep separate saved zoom settings for tmux and Herdr/normal SSH. YOUR MACHINES, YOUR CONNECTION - Connect directly over SSH; no AgentPanes account or server-side AgentPanes installation is required. - Authenticate with a password or an imported OpenSSH Ed25519 private key. - Review the host fingerprint and per-machine Herdr/tmux permissions. - Use reachable IP addresses or hostnames. Tailscale hosts require a working Tailscale connection; host-led Tailscale SSH approval is supported. - Protect access with the app lock and device authentication. OPTIONAL NOTIFICATIONS AND DICTATION - Enable reply notifications per machine. This installs a helper on that machine and sends notification data through the AgentPanes relay, Firebase and Apple. Standard SSH connections do not require the notification service. - Dictate editable English text on supported devices using on-device recognition. Audio is not saved or uploaded by AgentPanes. AgentPanes is free to download. You supply your own SSH-accessible machines, agents and any third-party service accounts. Herdr or tmux must already be installed on the machines where you want to discover their sessions. Questions or a bug to report? Find Help & support in the app or email support@agentpanes.com.
