Hermes Conduit vs LLMAPI

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 an app built for chatting, talking and checking in while you're away from your desk. YOUR BOTS, ONE TAP AWAY • Bots Home shows your bots as portraits: tap one for its Bot Chat, drag them into your order, or drop one on another to start a group chat • Group chats with @mentions, a lead bot or everyone answering, and a status for each bot under the title • Bots hand bigger jobs to workstreams and report back when they finish or need you • Set each bot's model, skills and tools, and give it a picture from Image Playground, a GIF or a still brought to life • Bot Screen: watch a bot's desktop on a Linux host and take over for a sign-in 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, in your language • Start, check and cancel Hermes jobs by voice • Calls keep going with the screen locked 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 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 tables • Cards Hermes draws in the chat: maps, places, travel, diffs of its changes, and boards with sortable tables, plans and checklists • Follow thinking, tool calls and steps, or fold them away • Attach photos and any file, or drag them in; quote, 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 AND PULSE • Tasks board: follow Hermes' Kanban tasks and add new ones • Review, run and edit scheduled jobs • Pulse (beta): 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, travel times and directions • Calendar and reminders, with each change asked first • Apple Health data, Focus, alarms, timers and contacts you pick • Ask Hermes about your screen, or send it anything from Shortcuts or the share sheet STAY IN CONTROL • Approve tools from a notification, end-to-end encrypted, or from Needs you, which gathers every approval waiting • Live Activities, and Home Screen widgets to start a chat or talk in one tap • Connect model providers from the app, with one API key for every profile • Switch models and reasoning effort mid-conversation; steer, queue or stop a turn • Turn skills, tools, connectors and plugins on or off; switch profiles and Hermes servers • 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. Install the free Hermes Conduit Notifier plugin on your host for notifications, voice calls, cards and phone features. 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. Hermes Conduit is an independent client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nous Research.

Every free LLM. One app. LLMAPI is a chat client and an API router. It knows which models the big providers give away, how much quota each one has left, and which one is smartest for what you just asked — and it picks for you, on the device, in the moment. AUTO-ROUTING THAT ACTUALLY ROUTES Ask a question. LLMAPI scores every model you can reach right now — by capability, by remaining quota, by how fast it has been answering — and sends your prompt to the best one. If that provider is rate-limited, it fails over to the next one mid-request. Every answer shows what served it: provider, model, latency, and how many failovers it took. Nothing is hidden behind a spinner. Prefer to drive? Priority mode lets you drag the model chain into your own order, or pull models out of routing entirely. WORKS WITH ZERO SETUP No account. No sign-up. No credit card. Four providers serve anonymous free tiers, so the app answers your first message seconds after you open it, before you configure anything. BRING YOUR OWN FREE KEYS Every provider in the list has a genuinely free tier: Google AI Studio, Groq, Cerebras, NVIDIA NIM, Mistral, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI, Cohere, Ollama Cloud, HuggingFace, GitHub Models and more. Paste a key and LLMAPI validates it live before saving, watches its health, and round-robins across multiple keys for one provider. Keys are stored in the iOS Keychain. They go to that provider and nowhere else — not to us, not through any server of ours. You can also point it at your own local or hosted endpoint — llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, any /v1 base URL. YOUR PHONE AS AN API SERVER (PREMIUM) Turn on the LAN server and your iPhone serves a standard chat-completions API to everything else on your Wi-Fi. Point any chat-completions SDK, the Anthropic SDK, curl, or any agent framework at your phone's address; it auto-routes across every free tier you can reach, exactly like the chat tab. - POST /v1/chat/completions, streaming and non-streaming - POST /v1/messages, Anthropic-compatible - GET /v1/models - Bearer-key authenticated, generated on device - Scan the QR code for a connection page with copy-paste snippets It runs only while the app is open and switched on. A Low Power Screen dims the display to near-black so an OLED draws almost nothing while serving, and a battery guard stops the server at 10% unless you are plugged in. A CATALOG YOU CAN TRUST Hundreds of models across 28 providers, with real rate limits, context windows, tool and vision support. The catalog is fetched from our service and its Ed25519 signature is verified on your device before any model loads. A tampered catalog is rejected. PRIVACY, PLAINLY - Chat history lives in a database on this phone. It is never uploaded. - Provider keys live in the Keychain. They go to the provider, and nowhere else. - There is no analytics SDK in this app. None. - No account to create, so no profile to build. - Your prompts go to the AI provider that answers them, under that provider's terms. That is the only place they go. FREE VS PREMIUM Free, forever: auto-routing, failover, quota tracking, chat history, and the anonymous free-tier models. No trial, no countdown. Premium adds: every model in the catalog rather than the keyless few, the LAN API server, and the live catalog feed — new free models and quota changes reach you the day we ship them instead of thirty days later. Premium Annual is an auto-renewing subscription. Premium Lifetime is a single payment. A NOTE ON AI OUTPUT LLMAPI relays answers from third-party models, including open community models that apply little or no filtering. Output can be wrong, biased, or offensive, and it is not reviewed by us before you see it. Long-press any answer to report it. Do not rely on it for medical, legal, or financial decisions.
