Helmline

Stay connected to your self-hosted AI agents. Follow sessions, review approvals, share content, and monitor active work from iPhone.

Helmline is a native iPhone control surface for your own self-hosted AI agent runtime.

Connect to a compatible Hermes Gateway running on your Mac or VPS, then keep track of work without moving the runtime or its data onto your phone.

With Helmline you can:

• Continue private sessions and streamed conversations
• Follow active runs and inspect execution status
• Review sensitive approval requests with Face ID or device passcode confirmation
• Share text, links, images, and audio from the iOS Share Sheet
• Record voice input and longer audio for transcription by your selected Gateway
• Manage multiple isolated Mac and VPS connections
• Follow task status through Widget and Live Activity surfaces
• Run, pause, resume, and remove supported automations

The iPhone app does not execute desktop tools locally. Files, tools, models, credentials, and long-running work remain on the host and Gateway you control.

Helmline is free, requires no Helmline account, contains no advertising, and has no in-app purchases. Gateway credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain.

Helmline is independently developed. It is compatible with the open-source Hermes Agent project but is not an official Nous Research product and is not endorsed by Nous Research.
