What is OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill?
The OpenClaw iOS Setup skill streamlines the process of exposing your AI agent's internal data and controls to the mobile app. It serves as an automated DevOps assistant that detects your installation environment, deploys the required stats server, and provides the exact credentials needed for a secure connection. By using this skill, developers can ensure their Openclaw Skills are accessible remotely without manually troubleshooting network configurations or server paths.
This skill is particularly useful for users who need real-time monitoring of their agent's activity from their iPhone. It handles the complexities of workspace pathing and gateway authentication, ensuring that the mobile interface remains in sync with the backend orchestrator regardless of whether you are running on a local machine or a cloud-based Docker environment.
OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill Use Cases
- Enabling mobile access for a newly installed OpenClaw instance.
- Restoring the stats server connection after a server crash or reboot.
- Exposing an agent to the internet securely using Tailscale or Nginx reverse proxies.
- Migrating from local network access to a production-ready domain configuration.
How OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill Works
- Environment Detection: The skill runs a script to identify if the installation is Docker-based or a direct install and locates the workspace source of truth.
- Stats Server Deployment: It checks the status of the stats server and initiates deployment if the service is inactive.
- Persistence Configuration: The skill sets up auto-restart policies via crontab for direct installs or instructs users on Docker restart flags.
- Connectivity Selection: Users choose between Nginx, Tailscale, or LAN-only methods to expose the Gateway and Stats ports.
- Summary Output: The skill generates a clean connection block containing the unique Gateway URL and Token to be entered into the iOS app.
OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill Setup
To initiate the setup, run the following command in your terminal or via your agent interface:
openclaw run skill-ios-setup
The skill will automatically guide you through the process. Ensure you have your workspace directory accessible, as the skill will need to reference internal scripts and config files like openclaw.json to retrieve your authentication tokens.
OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill relies on a structured JSON output from its environment detection phase to ensure accuracy across various Openclaw Skills installations:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
install_type |
String | Identifies docker or direct environments. |
workspace |
Path | The absolute path to the agent workspace, used to locate scripts. |
gateway_token |
String | The authentication token retrieved from the gateway config. |
stats_running |
Boolean | Current operational status of the stats server process. |
tailscale_ip |
IP/String | Detected Tailscale IP if the service is installed on the host. |
OpenClaw iOS Setup Skill Advanced Features
- Intelligent Pathing: Never hardcodes agent names, instead dynamically resolving paths via the
workspacevariable. - Tailscale Integration: Provides one-click commands for Tailscale users to set up secure background proxies.
- Nginx Configuration Templates: Generates ready-to-use Nginx server blocks for users deploying with custom domains and SSL.
- Auto-Recovery: Sets up system-level persistence to ensure the stats server survives machine reboots without wasting tokens on watchdogs.
