PocketClaw puts the AI agent running on your own computer in your pocket. Built for self-hosted, open-source agent runtimes — with first-class support for OpenClaw and Hermes — it lets you continue conversations, monitor long-running work, and stay in control from iPhone or iPad. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Continue the same agent conversations and context away from your computer • Connect your self-hosted OpenClaw and Hermes agents in one app • Follow the latest completed response with Live Activities and Dynamic Island • Run commands, tools, scheduled tasks, and automations remotely • Review tool output and exchange supported files and images • Manage sessions, models, skills, projects, and multiple gateways • Diagnose Relay and Agent Runtime connectivity separately HOW IT WORKS Install ClawPilot on the computer that runs your agent, generate a one-time pairing code, and connect it to PocketClaw. Messages and commands transit the configured PocketClaw Relay so they can reach your own agent host. Connection diagnostics distinguish the Relay, Agent Runtime, model provider, and local tool layers when something fails. POCKETCLAW PRO Pro unlocks advanced mobile controls, automation, diagnostics, and multi-gateway features. PocketClaw does not impose a daily message cap on eligible Pro messaging features. Model tokens, API quotas, billing, and provider rate limits are controlled by your own agent configuration and model provider and are not included with PocketClaw Pro. Monthly, annual, and lifetime options may be available. Current localized prices and eligibility are shown on the App Store purchase screen. Payment is charged to your Apple ID after confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. ABOUT OPENCLAW AND HERMES OpenClaw and Hermes are open-source agent runtimes that you install and operate on your own hardware. PocketClaw is an independent, third-party companion app: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the OpenClaw or Hermes projects, or any model provider mentioned.
