📡

Standalone

Works over Watch cellular or Wi-Fi. Leave your iPhone behind — pair once and forget.

🔐

Zero-trust relay

X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305 end-to-end encryption. The relay sees only ciphertext. Always.

🧩

OpenClaw native

Built for the OpenClaw agent platform. Pair once via QR code and it just works.

How it works

  1. 1
    Pair — Open the iPhone app, tap Pair, and scan the QR from your OpenClaw setup. A shared encryption key is established directly between your Watch and OpenClaw. The relay never sees it.
  2. 2
    Leave your phone — WristClaw connects to the relay over Watch cellular or Wi-Fi. The iPhone is only needed for the initial pairing.
  3. 3
    Talk — Hold the wrist button. Speak. Release. Encrypted audio travels through the relay to OpenClaw, which responds with encrypted voice and optional thumbnails back to your wrist.

FAQ

What is WristClaw?

WristClaw is an Apple Watch app that lets you talk to your OpenClaw AI agent from your wrist. You speak, it listens, it responds — with voice and optional visual thumbnails.

Does it work without my iPhone nearby?

Yes. WristClaw is a fully standalone watchOS app. It connects to the relay server over your Watch's own cellular or Wi-Fi. Your iPhone is only needed for the one-time pairing step.

How is my data protected?

All communication is end-to-end encrypted using X25519 Diffie-Hellman key exchange and ChaCha20-Poly1305 symmetric encryption. Keys are generated on your devices and never leave them. The relay server routes encrypted packets and cannot read any content — it only knows that two parties are communicating.

What AI systems does WristClaw work with?

WristClaw is designed for the OpenClaw agent platform. The OpenClaw channel adapter connects your agent to the relay and handles the encryption protocol. Any AI pipeline behind OpenClaw is supported.

Which Apple Watch models are supported?

Any Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later (Series 4 and newer). For standalone use without iPhone, you need a cellular-capable model and an active plan, or a Wi-Fi connection.

Can I self-host the relay server?

Yes. The relay is a single stateless Go binary with Docker included. Deploy it anywhere — Fly.io, Render, your own VPS. Update the relay URL in iPhone app settings. Since the relay is zero-trust, a shared public relay instance doesn't compromise your privacy.

How do I pair WristClaw with my OpenClaw agent?

Open the iPhone app, tap Pair. A QR code appears. In your OpenClaw setup, scan it or paste the payload into the channel config. The apps exchange public keys, derive a shared encryption key. Pair once, use forever.

Can image thumbnails be shown on the Watch?

Yes. When your OpenClaw agent sends image data (JPEG, max 40 KB each), WristClaw displays them in the Visuals tab as a scrollable grid. Tap any thumbnail to see it full-screen.

Is WristClaw open source?

The repository is currently private. We plan to open-source the relay server and the protocol specification.

What happens if the relay goes down?

WristClaw automatically retries every 5 seconds. Because sessions are stateless on the relay, reconnection is seamless — just re-join with the same session ID.
