Download Hermit

Get Hermit 2.0 for your Mac or iPhone, from our notarized DMG or from TestFlight.

Hermit is version 2.0 on both the Mac and the iPhone. There’s nothing to sign up for, so pick your device and install.

Mac iPhone
System macOS 26 iOS 26
Device Apple silicon Any iPhone on iOS 26. The on-device model needs 6 GB of memory (iPhone 14 or newer).
Free space About 3 GB for the model About 3 GB, or about 1.5 GB for the Lite model
Account None None

The model comes down on first launch: about 2.3 GB, or about 1 GB on iPhones with less memory. First launch explains which one you get.

We sign and notarize the DMG with Apple, so macOS opens it like any app you download.

  1. Download it from hermit.my/dmg.
  2. Open the DMG and drag Hermit onto the Applications folder next to it.
  3. Open Hermit from Applications. The first time, macOS asks if you’re sure you want to open an app from the internet. Click Open.

There’s no auto-update in the DMG version. When we ship a new one, download it again and replace the app. Your wallets, chats and model stay where they are.

The iPhone app is on TestFlight for now.

  1. Install TestFlight from the App Store.
  2. On your iPhone, open our iPhone TestFlight link.
  3. Tap Accept, then Install. Hermit shows up on your home screen.

Installed? Next up is your first launch.
