Hermes Conduit vs Remote for OpenCode Agents

Hermes Conduit is an independent client for your own Hermes agent, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Your sessions, profiles, bots and tools are the same ones you use on desktop, in a touch-first app built for chatting, talking, and keeping an eye on your agent while you're away from your desk. TALK TO HERMES • Real-time voice calls with Gemini Live, Qwen Live, GPT-Live and Grok Live, or Local Live on your own speech server, with echo cancellation and interruption • Start, check and cancel Hermes jobs by voice, with results folded back into the call • Calls stay with the chat you started them from, keep going with the screen locked, shrink to a bar while you read, and are saved as chats • Hermes can call you when a job is done or it needs your answer; pick up like a normal call, even on your Watch • Talk from Apple Watch on its own, from CarPlay, from Siri, or with a wake phrase • Classic voice and dictation with spoken Stop and End, plus Read Aloud for any reply CHAT WITHOUT LOSING CONTEXT • Pick up desktop sessions and project chats where you left them, with replies streaming in live • Markdown, highlighted code, math, Mermaid diagrams and task lists • Map, place, travel, media, contact and info cards that Hermes draws right in the chat • Follow thinking, tool calls and each turn's steps, or keep them folded away • Answer Hermes' questions with a tap or a short form • Attach photos, camera shots and any file, or drag them in; long pastes become attachments • Swipe through pictures full screen; quote, react to, edit and resend messages • Browse every file and artifact Hermes made, and your project folders • On iPad and Mac, resize the chat list and chat columns; text grows with the window TASKS, BOTS AND PULSE • Tasks board: follow Hermes' Kanban tasks and add new ones • Open your Hermes bots and their Bot Chats; set each bot's model, skills and tools • Group chats with your bots and @mentions • Review, run and edit scheduled jobs • Pulse (beta): turn it on and Hermes brings things up on its own, from a morning brief to follow-ups on your plans YOUR PHONE, IF YOU ALLOW IT Every one is off until you turn it on, and goes only to your own Hermes host: • Location and place rules, travel times and directions • Calendar and reminders, with each change asked first • Apple Health data • Focus, alarms and timers, and contacts you pick • Ask Hermes about what's on your screen, or send anything to it from Shortcuts or the share sheet STAY IN CONTROL • Approve tools and answer questions straight from a notification, end-to-end encrypted between your host and your phone • Live Activities for a running reply on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Home Screen widgets to start a chat or talk in one tap • Switch providers, models and reasoning effort mid-conversation; watch context use; steer, queue or stop a turn • Branch, pin, archive and delete sessions; switch profiles and Hermes servers • Turn skills, tools, connectors and plugins on or off • Face ID or Touch ID lock, credentials kept in the Keychain EASY TO SET UP Sign in with your dashboard address, a QR code or a setup link from your agent.

BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTED HERMES Conduit connects to the Hermes dashboard you run, and in live voice calls to the voice provider you choose. It is not a hosted AI service, and a working Hermes installation is required. Free, with no ads, no analytics and no tracking. If Conduit crashes or freezes, it asks once whether to send that report (call stacks, app and iOS version, device model) to its developer, and sends nothing unless you tap Send. Available in English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

Run OpenCode on your Mac, then connect with this client from anywhere to get the full OpenCode harness. Remote for OpenCode connects your iPhone to the OpenCode coding agent running on your own Mac, so you can start work, watch it happen, and approve what it wants to do, from the sofa, the bus, or anywhere else. ZERO NETWORK SETUP No VPN, no port forwarding, no IP addresses to type. Your devices find each other through your own iCloud account and talk directly, end-to-end encrypted. There is no server in the middle because there is no server at all. YOUR CODE STAYS YOURS The agent runs on your Mac, against your repositories, using your model credentials, which never leave it. Nothing is collected, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE When the agent wants to run a command, you see the exact command and decide. Risky actions look different from routine ones, so a destructive command never gets waved through out of habit. Face ID confirms it's you. PLAN MODE Switch the agent to Plan mode and it cannot edit anything at all, explore a codebase and get a plan back with a hard guarantee that nothing changed. REVIEW BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF See every accumulated change with per-file diffs, either against your last commit or against your default branch, the way a reviewer would. ALSO - Watch the agent think, live - Dictate prompts, transcribed on-device - Send screenshots and files as context - Run your own slash commands - Pick any model your OpenCode is configured with OPEN SOURCE The iPhone app, the Mac companion, and the protocol between them are public at github.com/tjameswilliams/remote-for-opencode under the PolyForm Noncommercial license.
