Watch the 80 second showcase. No voiceover. The score is original synthwave written for this film. It was recorded on the production-signed 4.0.0-rc.7 build during the candidate cycle, with illustrative fixture chats. 4.0.0 is the latest stable release. NextGen adapts the Kyllene design by Giton22 (MIT).
Hermes Android is now Ares. In 4.0.0 the app is called "Ares - formerly Hermes Android", and the launcher label is Ares. 4.0.0 is the latest stable release. The package
com.hermesagent.hermes_androidand the signing key are unchanged, so the update installs over the existing app. It still connects to Hermes Agent.

Emulator captures of production-signed 4.0.0-rc.7 (version code 30432). Classic and NextGen ship in the same app. Each Classic shot uses a different palette. Each NextGen shot uses a different accent. The chats, jobs and insight figures are illustrative fixture data. See capture details. The 3.0.0 gallery stays on disk for history.
v2.0.0 merges the community Remote Gateway edition contributed by @CristianGCiocoi, with review and testing from @AI-Guru and @grunjol. The merge brings a unified Desktop Gateway JSON-RPC transport, per-chat model selection, multi-attachment uploads, durable turn recovery, voice dictation, and a comprehensive test suite. See CHANGELOG.md for the full list and the merge PR thread for the community discussion.
4.0.0 (base build 3048) is the latest stable release. Its ABI splits are
30481, 30482 and 30483, each above the highest published 4.0.0-rc.10
split (30473). The production package and signer are unchanged. Install over
the existing app; do not uninstall or clear app data. 4.0.0 covers all changes
since 3.2.8, including the Ares name and icon, Classic and NextGen,
one-dashboard sign-in, live plans and subagents, notifications with catch-up,
and long-chat performance improvements.

An answered check limits requests to once every 12 hours; offline attempts may retry on the next launch. On supported Android installs, Update now downloads the matching official APK, verifies its SHA-256, package, signing certificate and version, and opens the Android installer. You may need to allow Hermes to install apps and confirm the update; after granting permission, return to the app and tap Install update. Android may offer Open after installation. The original View release link remains available when an in-app update cannot be used. Later asks again on the next launch; Skip this version stays quiet until another version appears. Shares and Quick Chat shortcuts are not interrupted. In Settings → About, use Check for updates or disable Check for updates on launch. Backups include these choices, not HTTP response caches.
In-app installation is for the official GitHub APK distribution; other distribution channels may use different signing keys or update policies. A local debug build cannot update the production package. The separate Play AAB is built with ARES_PLAY_BUILD=true and --dart-define=ARES_PLAY_BUILD=true: it removes the GitHub install permission, provider, update checks and prompts, and uses Play-managed updates. Both distributions link the privacy policy and provide an AI-output report action.
