Perpink vs OpenChat Pro

Perpink is an iPhone and Mac app for chatting with Hermes Agent, the open-source AI agent you host yourself. Perpink provides no AI service of its own: it connects to your own Hermes instance. You will need: • a Hermes Agent instance with its API server enabled; • network access to that server, for example through a private Tailscale network installed on the device; • the API key of the Hermes profile to use, entered in Settings. Features • Conversations with your agent, with formatted answers (headings, lists, tables, code) • Photos and files attached to messages • Conversation history loaded from the server, on iPhone and Mac alike • Approval of the actions your agent asks to run • Adjustable text size Disclaimer Perpink is an independent, personal project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nous Research (the maker of Hermes Agent), Tailscale Inc. or Hermès. These names belong to their respective owners and are mentioned only to describe compatibility. The app is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. You alone are responsible for your server, its security, the data you send to it and the actions your agent takes. The author accepts no liability for the use of the app or its consequences.

OpenChat is a privacy-first AI chat app for iPhone and iPad. Bring your own API key and connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Provider keys stay in your Keychain, and requests go directly from your device to the provider you choose. With OpenChat Pro, connect with the Hermes service on your Mac. OpenChat generates a local API token and a copy-ready start command; paste it into Terminal, keep Hermes gateway running, and use your local tools, memory, and skills from iPhone or iPad. Organize conversations, branch chats, search history, render Markdown, dictate by voice, and keep an optional backup in your own iCloud. OpenChat has no analytics and no OpenChat-hosted chat server. OpenChat Pro is a one-time purchase that lets you connect with your Hermes service and unlock multiple AI providers. It is not a subscription.
