Install the Android beta
- Download the APK on your Android phone. Check its SHA-256 against the value above.
- Open the file. If Android blocks it, turn on Allow from this source under Install unknown apps for that browser or file manager. Older Android calls this Unknown sources.
- Install Kodros, then turn that permission off again. Keep Google Play Protect on; stop if it flags the file.
- Open Kodros, choose Connect your assistant and enter your own gateway address and API key. Prefer HTTPS. Never use someone else's credentials.
- To update, install a newer signed APK from this page over the app. Do not uninstall first; that removes local settings.
Beta software can have bugs. The APK is signed with our Kodros Upload certificate, not a debug key, and direct-download updates keep it. A future Google Play build may use a different key and may not update this install in place. Back up important work on your gateway.
How you get Kodros.
- Pick your phone.
Install the iPhone beta from TestFlight, or download the Android APK.
- Turn on your gateway.
In Hermes, enable
gateway.api_serverand setAPI_SERVER_KEY. The phone talks to that server only. - Add it to the app.
Enter the address and key once. iPhone keeps the key in the Keychain. Android encrypts it with an AndroidKeyStore key that cannot be exported.
- Approve what it asks.
Commands, messages and spending wait for a person to say yes, every time.

Questions
Can I get the iPhone app?
Yes, as a public TestFlight beta at testflight.apple.com/join/BjFNCF45. It is not on the App Store. Support and privacy are in the iPhone app section below.
Is there a Mac app?
No. Windows and Linux builds are on this page. Hermes Desktop is open-source software from Nous Research, not Kodros or Anthropic software. Kodros installs it, pins the version and pairs it.
Do I need a server to use the phone app?
Android needs a Hermes gateway you run, with its API server on. On a recent iPhone with at least 6 GB of memory, Use Kodros on this iPhone runs a private model without a server.
How do I check a download?
Compare the file's SHA-256 with the one on this page before you run it. These desktop files still use an earlier filename, Kodros.
Windows (PowerShell): Get-FileHash .\MeshVault-*-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 Linux: sha256sum MeshVault-*.AppImage MeshVault-*.deb
Every checksum is also in one file: SHA256SUMS.txt. On Linux, sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt checks the files you downloaded.
The Windows installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn. Check the checksum, then choose More info and Run anyway. On Linux, run chmod +x on the AppImage first.
No server yet? See the one-week install. The Agent Skills Starter Pack is the add-on for the agent, $49 once.
