WristClaw puts your AI agent where it actually belongs — on your wrist. Pinch the button. Speak. Drop the wrist. Your OpenClaw agent hears you, thinks, and replies in voice. When the answer needs a picture, you get a thumbnail. When you need to type, the watch lets you. No phone in the loop, no laptop on standby — just you, the watch, and a claw that's got your back. UNDER THE SHELL • Standalone watchOS app — works over the Watch's own LTE or Wi-Fi, no paired iPhone required after setup • End-to-end encrypted (X25519 ECDH + ChaCha20-Poly1305) — the relay is a dumb router, never sees plaintext • HKDF-SHA256 key derivation, fresh nonce per message • One-time pairing via QR — your private keys never leave the device that generated them • Push-to-talk voice in, voice out, JPEG thumbnails ≀ 40 KB • Built on Apple's CryptoKit. No third-party crypto. No mystery dependencies. Hard shell. WHO IT'S FOR You already use OpenClaw. You're tired of pulling out your phone to ask the agent something. You want to think out loud while you walk, drive, cook, or work — and you want answers in your ear, not on a screen. WHAT IT'S NOT Not a phone-tethered remote. Not a chatbot wrapper. Not a place that sells your conversations to anyone. Not even a place that *can* — the relay is mathematically deaf to your messages. PAIR ONCE. WEAR DAILY. MOLT NEVER. 1. Launch on iPhone, tap Pair 2. A QR code appears with the session ID and the watch's public key 3. Your OpenClaw agent scans (or you paste the payload), confirms 4. The watch connects autonomously after that — phone optional from this point on Snap to it. — Requires watchOS 10+, iOS 17+, an Apple Watch Series 4 or later (cellular recommended for true standalone), and an OpenClaw agent you can pair with.
