PocketClaw v0.4.1 is live on real hardware. Download the APK →

One install — no server, no Docker, no terminal, no API key required.

Most AI agents today live on your laptop — Docker, Node.js, terminal. That's great if you're a developer at your desk.

But most of the time, you're not at your desk. You're on your phone.

PocketClaw is a different take: what if the agent lived in your pocket from day one?

 Desktop Agents PocketClaw
 ───────────── ──────────
 💻 Docker / Node.js 📱 One APK install
 🔌 Dies when you leave home 🚶 Walks with you
 🌐 Needs a server 📴 Runs locally, no server
 💰 15ドル-40/month API costs 🆓 Free with on-device LLM
 👨‍💻 Developers only 👤 Anyone

Option A — Download APK (easiest)

Go to Releases, download PocketClaw-v0.4.1-debug.apk, install on your Android phone.

Option B — Build from source

cd PocketClaw/android
./gradlew assembleDebug
adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Uses on-device Qwen3 by default (free, offline). Toggle to Cloud API in Settings if you want.

PocketClaw can act, not just chat. 16 built-in tools with 4-level security:

L0 = auto-approve · L1 = first-time grant · L2 = confirm every time · L3 = confirm + auto-revoke

You: "搜一下明天北京的天气"
PocketClaw: "我来帮你查!"
 → [T:web_search:北京 明天 天气]
 → "明天北京晴,最高 22°C,最低 8°C"

AI agents that can act on your behalf need to be trustworthy. PocketClaw uses 4 layers:

PocketClaw isn't stateless. It builds a memory of who you are:

• Preferences — "I like braised pork" → remembered
• Habits — "I always check news in the morning" → learned
• Relationships — "My mom's name is Li Wei" → stored
• Facts — "My office is in Zhongguancun" → noted

Your claw grows through 5 stages as you interact: Larva → Hatchling → Juvenile → Adult → Elder.

PocketClaw stands on the shoulders of the open-source AI agent community:

• OpenClaw (294K★) — pioneered the personal AI agent category
• NanoClaw (20K★) — showed that security-first design matters
• ZeroClaw (25K★) — proved Rust can build lightweight agents
• LLM Hub — provided the on-device inference engine we built upon

Our different bet: agents should be mobile-native and serverless from day one, not desktop-first with mobile as an afterthought.

• On-device LLM (Qwen3 via llama.cpp)
• Cloud API mode (DashScope)
• 16 built-in tools with 4-layer security
• Bond growth system (5 stages)
• Custom skills via chat
• STT + TTS
• 4-platform messaging bridge
• Auto-download models (no ADB needed)
• Home screen Widget
• Vision (screenshot + multimodal)
• APK size optimization (420MB → <200MB)
• iOS companion

PocketClaw is in active development. We'd love help with:

• Android — better mobile agent UX
• Prompts — tuning SOUL prompts for different LLMs
• Security — auditing the permission/sandbox model
• i18n — the app supports 18 languages
