iOS- und Android-Knoten koppeln

A node is a mobile companion app on iOS or Android that pairs with your Gateway, extending OpenClaw beyond your computer to your phone. 📱

Each node connects back to your Gateway, the single daemon that already owns your sessions, routing, and channels, so your phone joins the same brain.

Pairing a phone unlocks hardware your laptop lacks: a camera, a microphone, and a touch screen, all feeding into the same assistant you already use.

Once paired, a node opens Canvas, a workspace on your phone where OpenClaw can show and work with content right on the device.

With a node, OpenClaw can use your phone camera, so workflows that need a real photo or a live look can run from your pocket. 📷

Nodes also enable voice workflows, letting you speak to OpenClaw and have it respond, hands-free, through your mobile device.

OpenClaw ships nodes for both iOS and Android, so it does not matter which phone you carry; either one can pair with your Gateway.

Your phone is a companion, not a second brain. The Gateway remains the source of truth, so a node simply gives it new eyes, ears, and a screen.

The steps for pairing live in the /nodes documentation, your reference for connecting iOS and Android devices to the Gateway.

Because the node joins your existing Gateway, it shares the same sessions and memory; the conversation simply continues on your phone.

Nodes still follow the local-first idea: the phone talks to your Gateway on your hardware, not to some external cloud service.
