OpenClaw just released native companion apps for iOS and Android. The iOS app is listed as ‘OpenClaw – AI that does things.’ Both apps are free to download. They are not standalone chatbots. Each phone becomes a node in a self-hosted agent network. The assistant itself runs on a separate Gateway. That separation is the whole design.
TL;DR
OpenClaw’s iOS and Android apps are companion nodes, not standalone assistants.
The Gateway runs the agent; phones add camera, location, voice, and Canvas.
Nodes pair over WebSocket on port 18789 and require explicit approval.
