Q01
Does OpenClaw have an Android app?
Yes. OpenClaw ships native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, and the assistant meets you in the chat apps you already use. The Gateway itself runs on the computer you point it at.
OpenClaw on Android: an open-source way to reach your agents
Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System, and it starts the same session from wherever you are: the web app, a phone, Slack, Microsoft Teams or the CLI. OpenClaw runs as one Gateway process on your own computer, so an Android client reaches a machine that stays switched on.

One session starts from the web app, a phone, Slack, Microsoft Teams or the CLI, and it runs on its own cloud computer.
What OpenClaw on Android means
OpenClaw ships native apps for macOS, iOS, Android, Windows and Linux, and it meets you in the chat apps you already use (OpenClaw on GitHub). The Gateway is the local control plane for sessions, tools, events and channel connections, and it runs as one process on a computer you keep switched on. From an Android phone you are talking to that Gateway. That fits one person and one machine, and it is the setup a team outgrows when the work has to reach more than one person.
What a team reaches from a phone
Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System. A session starts from the web app, a phone, Slack, Microsoft Teams or the CLI, and it is the same session on every surface. Slack and Microsoft Teams are live. Email is experimental, per project. Because a session runs on its own cloud computer, the work continues when the phone locks and when nobody's laptop is open. Start a task in a Slack thread from the bus, and it is waiting on the web app at your desk.
Who runs the machine
One isolated sandbox per session. Each session has its own isolated machine and branch. Run it on Kortix Cloud, in your VPC, or on your own on-prem network. Self-host is free.
$ kortix sessions new --prompt "Draft the weekly update and open a change request"
$ kortix cr ls # review what the agent proposesFrom an Android client to a company system
The move from a personal Gateway to company work changes two things: where the configuration lives, and who reads the finished change. Kortix keeps the agents, skills, memory and connectors in one git repo you own. Session work reaches main through a change request. Merge is default-deny for agents.
The Kortix vs OpenClaw comparison covers the personal-assistant side. OpenClaw for teams takes the same question to a shared deployment, Kortix vs OpenClaw goes deeper, and migrating from OpenClaw walks through the switch.
Questions about reaching OpenClaw from a phone
