- 📦Hermes Conduit updated to version 2.2.1A big update since 2.2.0, with Pulse and a lot for iPad and Mac.
PULSE (BETA)
• Turn on Pulse in Settings and Hermes brings things up on its own: a morning brief, follow-ups on what you said you'd do, deadlines, birthdays and what comes next
• Each arrives as a card you can act on with Do it, mark done, rate, or put off until later
• Pulse learns from what you do with its cards, keeps to quiet times, and can tell you why it brought something up
• Optional: let it know where you are, so it can mention an errand when you walk past
CHATS
• Edit and resend or quote your own messages, and retry the newest reply
• A sent message moves to the top and its reply streams in below it, without the chat jumping
• Drag files onto a chat to attach them; a long paste becomes a text attachment you can open, edit or put back
• Swipe through a chat's pictures full screen, and swipe down to close
• Folder tab in Artifacts: browse, search, preview and edit the files in your project folders
• Hermes' plan shows as a Tasks line above the composer
• Pin a reply or a passage, and find your pins again
• Several questions at once show as a short form; website sign-in codes show as cards
• Suggested replies (Settings > Predictive), and a three-way Show thinking choice
• Send pictures and files while Hermes is still replying
CHATS LIST AND PROFILES
• Every profile's chats in one list, project chats in Chats, and a dot on projects with an unread reply
• Reorder pinned chats by dragging
• Rename any profile from its card; switching profiles and saved dashboards is faster
IPAD AND MAC
• Drag to resize the chat list and Artifacts columns
• Chat and Settings text grows with a wide window
• The composer opens wide on a Mac and a big iPad, and Return sends
• Hide the chat list beside a chat on iPad
VOICE
• Qwen Live: a new live voice provider
• Hermes can call you about a question or an approval, and you answer by voice
• The chat's voice button offers voice messages, dictation or a live call
• Classic voice reads out approvals and listens for your answer
• A spoken follow-up that only adds to a running job steers it
• CarPlay offers Local Live
• Calls are saved as chats you can pick up again
BOTS AND NOTIFICATIONS
• New Bot gets Desktop's options: skills, tools and MCP servers, and a picture Hermes draws
• Mention a bot from the + menu
• Notifications say which chat and profile they're from, can show Hermes' own summary, and follow the app's language
• Notification encryption keys rotate, quantum-safe on iOS 26
FIXES
• If Conduit crashes or freezes, it now asks once whether to send that report to its developer; nothing is sent unless you tap Send
• Fixed a launch crash on Apple Vision Pro, freezes while typing on a Mac, and lost drafts
• Native sign-in through your dashboard's page, and many more fixes… more - ✏️Hermes Conduit: app got bigger63 MB → 74 MB (+17%)

- 📦Hermes Conduit updated to version 0.1.17**Hermes can call you!** This is a big one.
Your AI assistant can now ring your iPhone or Apple Watch when you ask it to follow up, finish a task, or get your input. Answer and talk to Hermes naturally, including responding to questions and approval requests. You decide what deserves a call, with a notification-only option if you prefer.
**What's new:**
- **Apple Watch voice:** Talk to Hermes right from your wrist with Gemini Live, GPT-Live, or Grok Live.
- **Ask Hermes About Screen:** Use Siri, Shortcuts, or the Action Button to capture your screen and ask Hermes about what you're looking at.
- **Smarter voice conversations:** Confirm tasks before sending them to Hermes, provide follow-ups while jobs are running, and enjoy continuous listening in Classic Voice.
- **Better chat organization:** New Unread, Working, Needs Input, and Cron filters make it easier to find what matters.
- **More ways to interact:** Take photos directly in chat, attach more file types, react to replies, play audio inline, and view diagrams and formulas without extra taps.
- **Privacy improvements:** End-to-end encrypted notifications keep your notification content protected.
- **More languages:** Conduit is now available in 14 languages.
- **Improved CarPlay:** A redesigned voice-first experience with better navigation, chat selection, and status indicators.
Plus improvements to performance, scrolling, accessibility, connection reliability, and plenty of bug fixes.
Still free. Still open source. Still making Hermes feel a little more like an actual personal assistant.… more - 📦Hermes Conduit: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months

- 📦Hermes Conduit updated to version 0.1.16This is a big one.

• Live Voice can now stay attached to the chat or Bot Chat it was started from, receive typed context while you’re talking, and link background jobs and their results back to the call.
• Hands-free voice is much more capable: wake phrases now work across voice modes while Conduit is open, Siri can start Voice on a named profile, and spoken goodbye handling is more reliable.
• CarPlay received a major upgrade with chat selection, voice and profile controls, jobs, shortcuts, mute, New Chat, audio cues, and improved standalone launching and recovery.
• Classic Voice can now keep listening while locked, steer Hermes while it’s thinking, interrupt spoken replies naturally, and optionally use echo cancellation so you can talk over Hermes on the speaker.
• Read Aloud now supports playback speed, long responses, background playback, and lock-screen/headset controls.
• The composer has been rebuilt with quick dictation, improved attachments and previews, multiple file selection, video support, a full-screen editor for long drafts, and quoting of messages or selected text.

- 📦Hermes Conduit updated to version 0.1.15Real-time voice, two ways
Voice conversations got a full rebuild — plus two new real-time engines. Gemini Live (Google) and GPT-Live (ChatGPT) both stream natural back-and-forth speech instead of the old speak–wait–reply flow: echo cancellation so the assistant won't talk over you, listening with the screen locked, hands-free ending, a clear "Ending" state, and a voice picker for each engine. Take either engine in the car with CarPlay, start a session from Siri, and keep the screen awake hands-free. The assistant draws on your host's memory, searches the web through your Hermes host, and explains connection or quota problems instead of silently retrying. Voice can also run Hermes background jobs entirely hands-free — start, list, and cancel — with results folded back into the conversation. Runs on the Hermes Conduit Notifier plugin (the same one that handles your notifications and approval cards — just update it). The classic voice mode remains available.
Classic voice, upgraded too
The original voice mode got its own round: adaptive speech detection with a live microphone meter, no more playback feeding back into barge-in, spoken Stop and End Conversation controls, automatic relisten after a spoken reply, custom TTS endpoint settings, and far more reliable engine starts. Voice now suspends gracefully in the background and picks up where you left off instead of shutting down.
Bots and hosted group chats
Hermes Bot Mode arrives: add bots to hosted group chats, mention anyone with @, and see who's responding in real time. Room messages survive leaving and rejoining, and Bot Chat notifications stay attached to the right conversation — including turns that finish in the background.
Chats that stay fast and never lose your place
Chat scrolling was rebuilt so the conversation only moves when it should — no layout freezes, no position jumps on open or send, no stalls from cache work in very long chats, and no crash when backgrounding mid-write. Offline or reconnecting? Recent chats open instantly with a read-only saved copy. Tap any photo or file for a full-screen viewer with save and share. Long-running sessions compress themselves so old conversations stay responsive, and skill slash commands work again.
Connections, accounts, and safety
Switch between multiple Hermes servers with scoped credentials, sign in with native Google sign-in, and rely on conversations, tool activity, and approvals recovering cleanly after a full app reopen. Sensitive prompts — sudo, secrets, vault unlocks — now arrive as masked input cards, approvals reliably reach the app over push, and a new toggle controls approval and input sounds.
