Remember Clawdbot, the effort to put AI models to work as agents? Clawdbot eventually became OpenClaw and gained OpenAI’s support. Now there’s an official iPhone (and Android) app for OpenClaw for the first time.
The official OpenClaw mobile app arrives today as a way for users to manage the experience easily from iOS and Android.
From the new app’s description: OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices.
Pair this iOS app with your OpenClaw Gateway to use your iPhone as a secure node for chat, voice, approvals, sharing, and device-aware automation.
What you can do:
– Pair with your private OpenClaw Gateway by QR code or setup code
– Chat with your assistant from iPhone
– Use realtime and background Talk mode
– Review Gateway action approvals from your iPhone
– Share text, links, and media directly from iOS into OpenClaw
– Enable device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders when you choose
– Receive push wakes and node status updates for connected workflows
OpenClaw is local-first: you control your gateway, keys, configuration, and permissions. Device access is managed by iOS permissions and can be enabled only for the capabilities you want to use.
You can download OpenClaw for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch for free on the App Store. Learn more about OpenClaw here.
