How to use Hermes Agent from your phone in 2026
Hermes Agent can meet you in a messaging app, a terminal, or a mobile control surface. Here is what each path means for your repository and workflow, plus how to keep Hermes alongside OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Pi, and OMP without switching mobile apps.
Four practical ways to use Hermes from a phone
Option 1
Hermes Agent messaging gateway
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.
Best for People who want to message an existing Hermes Agent through a channel they already use.

SSH into the Hermes terminal
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.
Best for Developers who already have secure SSH access and are comfortable working in a terminal from their phone.

Hermes on Android with Termux
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.
Best for Android users who specifically want Hermes installed in a local terminal environment.

Sesori
Sesori is a native iOS and Android control surface for sessions that stay on your own machine. Use it to follow Hermes work, review changes, respond to permissions, and continue a session from your phone. Its encrypted relay carries opaque traffic; it does not turn Hermes into a cloud-hosted IDE or move your repository off your computer.
Best for Developers who want a purpose-built mobile UI for Hermes while keeping the development environment local.
