Hermes-Android
The Hermes WebUI experience, native on Android — a hardened WebView shell with trusted navigation, native sharing, uploads/downloads, notifications, and secure local settings. Your Hermes workspace, on your phone or tablet.

What Is It
Hermes-Android brings the Hermes WebUI experience to Android without turning it into a second product. It keeps Hermes WebUI as the real application surface and adds the Android capabilities that matter on a phone or tablet: a hardened WebView, trusted navigation, native sharing, uploads and downloads, notifications, secure local settings, update delivery, and recovery paths when the mobile runtime gets in the way.
In short: if Hermes WebUI is the product, Hermes-Android is the native shell that makes it feel at home on Android.
Key Features
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hardened WebView | A locked-down WebView tuned for the Hermes WebUI surface |
| Trusted navigation | Only trusted destinations, no accidental navigation drift |
| Native sharing | Share content into and out of Hermes from Android’s share sheet |
| Uploads & downloads | Native file handling for chat attachments and generated files |
| Notifications | Push-style alerts for agent activity and cron job completions |
| Secure local settings | Sensitive configuration stored in Android’s secure storage |
| Update delivery | Built-in path for app updates |
| Recovery paths | Graceful handling when the mobile runtime interferes |
It works with a running Hermes WebUI instance, and it’s optimized for both phone and tablet layouts — split-pane chat on tablets, immersive chat on phones.
Why It Matters for Hermes Users
Hermes Agent is designed to be reached from anywhere — 10+ messaging platforms, a web UI, and now a native Android surface. If your agent runs on a server and you want a first-class mobile experience (rather than a cramped browser tab), Hermes-Android is the native path: your workspace, notifications, and files, on the device that’s always in your pocket.
