MURF — Android app for your own AI agent
MURF is an open-source Android client for Hermes Agent: chat with your AI agent, watch and control its live desktop, let it use your phone through Termux — or run the whole agent on the phone in local Ubuntu. A self-hosted alternative to cloud agent apps like Manus.
Screenshots show the Russian UI; the app is fully available in English.

Like OpenAI's Codex app and Anthropic's Claude Desktop, MURF is a client for an AI agent that works on a computer, shows its steps and tool calls, asks for approval and handles files. The difference: MURF is an Android app for the open-source Hermes Agent on your own Ubuntu server (or on the phone itself), with a live view of the agent's own desktop, a Termux phone bridge and any model provider. Full comparison.
