WristClaw

WristClaw puts your AI agent where it actually belongs โ 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 โ just you, the watch, and a claw that's got your back. UNDER THE SHELL โข Standalone watchOS app โ works over the Watch's own LTE or Wi-Fi, no paired iPhone required after setup โข End-to-end encrypted (X25519 ECDH + ChaCha20-Poly1305) โ the relay is a dumb router, never sees plaintext โข HKDF-SHA256 key derivation, fresh nonce per message โข One-time pairing via QR โ your private keys never leave the device that generated them โข Push-to-talk voice in, voice out, JPEG thumbnails โค 40 KB โข 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 โ 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* โ 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 โ phone optional from this point on Snap to it. โ 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.

NetClaw Mobile is the companion app for your own self-hosted NetClaw Border โ 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 โข Ask your Border a question by typing, or by voice through Siri โข Get pushed notifications the moment your Border has an answer, even when the app is closed โข Review and approve pending actions with Face ID or Touch ID before they're sent to your Border โข Send a photo, video, or audio capture straight to your Border for it to analyze โข Keep a searchable history of every conversation and approval โข Check your Border's health from Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center widgets โข 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 โ see the in-app Privacy Policy for details. REQUIRES A NETCLAW BORDER You'll need a NetClaw Border already running to enroll this app โ scan its QR code to connect your phone. If you don't have one yet, set one up first.
