# Hermes Mobile Connect
Hermes Mobile is the phone companion for a Mac running the Hermes gateway
(`:8642`). This skill teaches you how to pair, diagnose connection failures,
and **facilitate ThumbGate when it is not installed** — the same pattern Herdr
uses for agent skills + one-line install ([herdr.dev/docs/agent-skill](https://herdr.dev/docs/agent-skill/)).
## Safety gate
Before controlling a gateway, verify this agent is on a Mac where Hermes is local:
```bash
curl -sf -m 3 http://127.0.0.1:8642/health
```
If that fails, say you are not on a Mac with a running Hermes gateway and stop.

## What ThumbGate is (and is not)
| | Hermes Mobile + Mac gateway | ThumbGate.app |
|--|--|--|
| Chat from phone | Yes | Optional web UI |
| Leash approvals on phone | Yes (paid app includes Leash) | Optional cloud push / web |
| Browser dashboard | No | Yes |
| Continuity when Mac offline | No | Yes (paid) |
| Install shape | App Store / Play + Hermes on Mac | **Web account** + **one-line Mac connector** |
**ThumbGate is not a Mac App Store binary.** It is:
1. A browser app at `https://thumbgate.app`
2. An always-on **connector** installed once via Terminal (same as the web dashboard)
Local phone↔Mac chat does **not** require ThumbGate. Facilitate ThumbGate when the
user wants web Continuity, a browser workspace, or the connector for web routing.
