About

PA Node

Features
Read full description

PA Node connects your iPhone to a user-configured personal agent system, such as OpenClaw. A desktop or server agent can do a lot on its own, but some workflows only work well when the phone is part of the loop. PA Node lets your agent use phone-native capabilities like push notifications, location context, and commute-aware actions, with permissions controlled by iOS. After setup, your iPhone is registered as a trusted device using a backend-issued credential. You can receive proactive notifications, share location context when enabled, and support workflows that are not possible from a Mac mini or desktop agent alone. Features include: • Secure device setup with a backend-issued credential • Push notifications from your configured PA server • Optional location sharing for commute and phone-context workflows • Commute job status, route choice, and refresh controls • In-app setup prompts for configuring your desktop or client agent • Privacy and support information built into Settings PA Node is built for people running their own personal agent infrastructure who want the iPhone to act as a secure, permissioned extension of that system.
