Hermes Conduit vs Remote for OpenCode Agents

Hermes Conduit is an independent mobile client for connecting to a Hermes agent gateway from iPhone. It brings the core Hermes workflow into a touch-first interface designed for conversations, voice, monitoring, and quick control away from your desktop. REAL-TIME VOICE CONVERSATIONS • Talk naturally with two live voice engines: Gemini Live (Google) and GPT-Live (ChatGPT) — real-time speech with echo cancellation, not speak–wait–reply • Pick each engine's voice, end hands-free, keep the conversation going with the screen locked, take calls in the car with CarPlay, or start them from Siri • Run Hermes background jobs entirely by voice — start, list, and cancel — with results folded back into the conversation • The assistant draws on your host's memory and searches the web through your Hermes host; connection or quota problems are explained, never silently retried • Prefer the classic flow? Adaptive speech detection, spoken Stop and End controls, barge-in interruption, live mic metering, and automatic relisten after replies • Requires the Hermes Conduit Notifier plugin on your host (the same one that powers notifications and approval cards) CHAT WITHOUT LOSING CONTEXT • Continue sessions created on desktop or through configured connectors • Watch responses stream in as they are generated • Read Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, math, task lists, and Mermaid diagrams • Inspect tool calls, thinking, and delegated-agent progress when you want the details • Recent chats open instantly with a read-only saved copy while reconnecting • Attach images, PDFs, and text files — or paste an image into the composer — and view media full screen with save and share • Long sessions compress themselves so old conversations stay fast BOTS AND GROUP CHATS • Add Hermes bots to hosted group chats and mention anyone with @ • See who's responding in real time; room messages survive leaving and rejoining • Bot Chat notifications stay with the right conversation, even for turns that finish in the background CONTROL EACH SESSION • Choose a provider and model without leaving the conversation • Set a compatible reasoning effort for the active model • Monitor context usage with token counts and a visual progress ring • Browse workspace files and use slash commands • Steer or interrupt an active turn • Branch, pin, archive, refresh, or delete sessions MORE THAN CHAT • Switch between Hermes profiles and multiple Hermes servers, with scoped credentials per server • Review and trigger scheduled jobs • Enable or disable skills, tools, and MCP servers • Monitor configured connectors and recent gateway logs • Answer approval, clarify, and input requests from a push notification — including masked input cards for sensitive prompts • Toggle approval and input notification sounds BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTED HERMES Conduit connects to the Hermes dashboard and gateway that you configure. It does not include a hosted agent service. A working Hermes installation is required. Hermes Conduit is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nous Research. Localized in English and Chinese (Simplified).

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.
