# Herald
**A native Android client for Hermes Agent.**
Chat with your own agent, approve what it wants to do, and follow its work from your phone.
Herald connects to the `hermes dashboard` you already run on a server, homelab, VPS or Tailnet, the
same way Hermes Desktop's "Remote gateway" connection does. There is no Herald server and no account:
the app talks to your gateway directly.

## Features
**Chat**
- Streaming replies with Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, TeX math, reasoning and tool activity
- One live status line for the task at work, with its plan and the running tool
- Send while the agent works: steer the running reply, queue the next prompt, or stop and send
- Select any part of a reply to comment on, explain or ask about on the side
- Copy, edit, regenerate or branch from any message; every chat keeps its unsent draft
- A prompt that may not have arrived can be checked, resent or edited; nothing resends by itself
- Model, thinking level, fast mode and profile per chat, with starred and recent models
- Photos, camera, files and PDFs; pictures and files the agent sends back
- Dictation (on the device or through the gateway), hands-free voice chat and live voice calls
**Control**
- Approvals, questions, sudo, secret and password-manager prompts, also from a notification
- Subagents, background processes and checkpoints: watch, stop and restore
- A chat's cost, token use and what fills its context window
**Organize**
- Sessions sidebar with search, pins, projects, archive, export and Running / Needs you filters
- Bots and rooms: chat with each bot, follow their exchanges, and @mention them in a room
- Scheduled jobs: create, edit, pause and run them, and open each run as a chat
- Capabilities: turn skills, toolsets and MCP servers on or off, and test a server
- Config: change Hermes's own settings, or each bot's, by section or by search, or edit config.yaml
- Insights: cost, sessions and tokens by day, and the models, tools and skills used most
**Stay connected**
- Notifications when a turn finishes or needs you, with inline approve, answer and reply
- Optional end-to-end encrypted push from outside your network, without Google services
- Several saved gateways, each kept signed in
- An encrypted offline copy of recent chats, readable while the gateway can't be reached
- App lock with fingerprint, face or screen lock
The full feature list, and what's planned, is in the roadmap.
