OpenClaw is finally available on Android and iOS
The free open source agentic program is finally invading your phone.
The automation crustacean is crawling to a mobile device near you.
By that I mean, OpenClaw, the free, open source AI agent that captivated the internet earlier this year, is finally available as an app on iOS and Android. OpenClaw announced the news on X on Tuesday.
On both platforms, you can pair your phone with the OpenClaw Gateway, a kind of routing layer that connects your requests to AI agents and the tools and skills those agents draw on to get things done.
The takeaway is that you’ll be able to run your OpenClaw agents from your pocket and, if you’ve programmed them correctly, they may be pretty helpful at getting things done. OpenClaw users have put it to work in everything from coding to meal planning, although some have reported less-than-desirable results.
OpenClaw went viral earlier this year around the launch of MoltBook, a social media site purportedly populated entirely by agents. In February, OpenClaw’s creator, Peter Steinberger, announced that he had joined OpenAI.
The MoltBook spectacle was later revealed to have been partially the work of humans impersonating agents, according to researchers , effective theater that doubled as marketing for OpenClaw (whatever its credibility cost). Still, the stunt pointed toward the agentic future, which has since kept expanding. Agents are now embedded across the AI landscape and are showing up in more places by the day , including your phone.
Don’t miss out . The startup community will gather to answer a pivotal question: How do you build sustainably in the AI era?
