About

NetClaw

Features
Read full description

NetClaw Mobile is the companion app for your own self-hosted NetClaw Border — a network automation assistant you run and control. It is not a standalone consumer app and does not connect to any NetClaw-operated service: everything you do in this app talks directly, and only, to the Border you already set up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Ask your Border a question by typing, or by voice through Siri • Get pushed notifications the moment your Border has an answer, even when the app is closed • Review and approve pending actions with Face ID or Touch ID before they're sent to your Border • Send a photo, video, or audio capture straight to your Border for it to analyze • Keep a searchable history of every conversation and approval • Check your Border's health from Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center widgets • See live status and reply from your Apple Watch BUILT FOR OPERATORS WHO SELF-HOST Your enrollment credentials live in your device's Keychain. Your conversation history stays on your phone. Nothing about what you ask or what your Border answers passes through any server this app's developer controls — see the in-app Privacy Policy for details. REQUIRES A NETCLAW BORDER You'll need a NetClaw Border already running to enroll this app — scan its QR code to connect your phone. If you don't have one yet, set one up first.
