ClawMobile is an agent-first phone runtime for Android. It explores what phones could become when the primary interface is an agent instead of manual app switching: the agent can use local tools and files, observe Android state, control apps with permission, learn reusable mobile skills, and communicate with trusted agents.

Instead of treating the phone as a remote screen, ClawMobile makes it the runtime. The phone hosts the gateway, the mobile tools, the recorded evidence, and the learned workflows, so personal app tasks can become repeatable skills instead of one-off screenshot reasoning sessions.

Get The Android App

The Android companion app is the recommended way to try ClawMobile. It sets up the Termux runtime over SSH, starts the local service, and gives you a phone-native UI for tasks, skills, runtime status, logs, and trusted-agent messaging.

Download the latest ClawMobile Companion APK, or read the Android app guide.

Quick Start

Android App (Recommended)

1. Download the latest APK from the ClawMobile release page.
2. Open the ClawMobile app and follow the guided setup.
3. Start ClawMobile from the app, then use Tasks, Skills, Social, and Settings.

The app guides the Termux runtime setup internally, then provides a status dashboard, task chat, skills library, logs, and trusted-agent messaging on top of that local service.

Advanced: Termux CLI

Install Termux from F-Droid first. If F-Droid is unavailable, use the official Termux GitHub releases. The Google Play Termux build is not the supported ClawMobile install path.

Then run in Termux:

# Install ClawMobile with the guided quick setup and start the gateway
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClawMobile/ClawMobile/main/installer/termux-lite/bootstrap.sh | bash -s -- --quick --start

From an existing repository checkout:

./installer/termux-lite/clawmobile setup --quick --start

Omit --start if you want setup to finish before launching the long-running OpenClaw gateway.

Quick setup will ask for a model provider/API key and, optionally, Telegram bot details so you can message the phone from another device. If those terms are unfamiliar, see the FAQ before starting.

After the gateway starts, try:

Why ClawMobile?

Mobile agents should not just watch a phone screen from the outside. ClawMobile puts the runtime on the Android device, where the apps, files, notifications, and user-approved control channels already live.

Capability	Why it matters
One agent-facing phone surface	The agent can use local files, shell tools, Android state, screenshots, and app control from the same runtime.
Progressive user control	Start with Termux tools, then add Termux:API, ADB, app control, and trusted-agent messaging only when the user enables them.
From repeated UI work to reusable skills	Demonstrations and successful runs can become durable app knowledge instead of one-off screen reasoning.

This makes ClawMobile useful today as a phone-side OpenClaw gateway, a personal mobile assistant, a generated-skill testbed, and a practical bridge between language-agent reasoning and deterministic Android actions.

Runtime Architecture

Layer	Role
User channel	Android app, Telegram, or another OpenClaw-supported interface.
OpenClaw gateway on Android	The local agent runtime running on the phone.
ClawMobile workspace	Policies, reusable skills, and generated-skill artifacts.
mobile-ui plugin	Tool bridge between OpenClaw and mobile backends.
Mobile backends	Termux tools, Termux:API, ADB/Android shell, optional OCR, and generated skill storage.
Android apps and device state	The real mobile environment the agent observes and acts on.

The important design choice is progressive capability. The same agent can run with only Termux permissions, then use richer phone-control tools when the user authorizes them.

Status And Safety

ClawMobile is a public preview for real Android devices. It runs locally in Termux, can use strong phone-control capabilities when authorized, and may store sensitive runtime artifacts such as API keys, screenshots, traces, logs, and generated-skill evidence.

Read the status and limitations and security policy before sharing traces, logs, or generated skills.

Repository Map

• openclaw-plugin-mobile-ui/ Mobile runtime plugin, Android/Termux/ADB/OCR tools, recorder, trace parser, generated-skill pipeline, and Termux runtime batch fast path.

• installer/termux-lite/ Current Termux runtime scripts. The directory name is historical; this is the maintained default runtime on main.

• installer/workspace-seed-lite/ Default OpenClaw workspace seed, policies, and trace-induction skills.
