Hermex
Hermex is a native iPhone and iPad app for controlling a self-hosted Hermes agent. The agent keeps running on your own server; the app connects to it over your private Tailscale network or an HTTPS tunnel, streams replies, lets you answer approval requests, manage tasks and Kanban boards, browse the agent's workspace and get push notifications when it needs you. It is free on the App Store with no in-app purchases, and its source is open.
LVLZ
LVLZ is a personal AI agent you run by messaging it like a person, on iMessage or WhatsApp, as a text, voice note or call. It runs errands on real websites in a cloud browser, such as bookings, forms and shopping, turns messages into tasks and projects, fills a CRM from your conversations, and runs routines like a morning brief or a price watch. Everything it does lands in a web workspace, its memory can be read, edited and exported, and it asks before paying, contacting someone new or deleting anything, with cards and passwords kept in an encrypted vault.
