Ways to use Hermes Agent from your phone
Option 1
Hermes Agent messaging gateway
How it works Hermes Agent can run one gateway process and continue a conversation over Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or email. That is the most direct phone-first path in Hermes itself. It is a messaging interface for the running agent, not a mobile IDE, so code and tools still execute in the environment where Hermes is installed.
Trade-off It is a messaging interface, not a mobile IDE; code and tools still run where Hermes is installed.
Best for People who want to message an existing Hermes Agent through a channel they already use.

SSH into the Hermes terminal
How it works Run Hermes in a terminal on your laptop, workstation, or server, then use SSH from a mobile terminal to reconnect. This keeps the repository, shell, and credentials in that existing environment. It is dependable and direct, but a full terminal UI and code diffs are difficult to use on a small screen.
Trade-off A terminal UI and code diffs are difficult to use on a small screen.
Best for Developers who already have secure SSH access and are comfortable working in a terminal from their phone.

Hermes on Android with Termux
How it works Hermes documents a supported Termux installation path for Android. This puts the terminal agent on the phone itself, which can be useful for lightweight, self-contained work. For a real repository with a desktop toolchain, though, the more practical setup is usually to keep the session on the machine where the project already lives.
Trade-off For an existing desktop repository and toolchain, keeping the session on that machine is usually more practical.
Best for Android users who specifically want Hermes installed in a local terminal environment.

Sesori
How it works Sesori is a native iOS and Android control surface for Hermes sessions on your own machine. Follow the work, review changes, respond to available permission requests, and continue from your phone. Ordinary app-to-Bridge session payloads are end-to-end encrypted; Sesori does not copy your repository into a hosted development workspace.
Trade-off Your computer must remain on; coding assistants, model providers, and optional hosted features retain their own data paths.
Best for Developers who want a purpose-built mobile UI for Hermes while keeping the development environment local.
