OpenClaw Remote Access

What you can do

Section titled “What you can do”

Open the OpenClaw on your home computer from your phone while you’re out, and talk to it as if you were at home.

Why this way

Section titled “Why this way”
  • No ports to open on your router, no networking software on every device.
  • Only you can open it by default, and OpenClaw can never be set to “Everyone”.
  • It follows OpenClaw’s own advice: don’t put the Gateway directly on the public internet.

Two ways to set it up

Section titled “Two ways to set it up”

  1. On the computer running OpenClaw, install the UUMit desktop app and finish “Connect this computer”.

  2. The app detects a running OpenClaw automatically. Tick it in the app list and choose “Only me”.

  3. If OpenClaw isn’t detected, run this in a terminal:

    Terminal window
    uumit-connector openclaw setup

    Add --port <port> if you changed its port. Newly added apps start as Off until you choose who can use them.

Open it on your phone

Section titled “Open it on your phone”

OpenClaw gets its own address:

https://openclaw--<your-name>.agent-cn.example/

You sign in to UUMit first, then enter OpenClaw’s own token — two layers of protection.

Safe defaults

Section titled “Safe defaults”
  • OpenClaw can only be set to “Only me” or “Me and people I invite”.
  • We recommend turning on “Confirm it’s you on your phone”: opening it on a new device needs one tap on your phone.
  • If OpenClaw’s own token is off, the desktop app reminds you to turn it on first.

Connect from OpenClaw on another computer

Section titled “Connect from OpenClaw on another computer”

OpenClaw’s command line or macOS app on another computer can also reach your home OpenClaw:

Terminal window
uumit-connector openclaw remote <your-name>

This writes the remote connection settings for you (backing up the old file first). For manual setup and clients that can’t send custom headers, see the developer guide.

Share it with friends

Section titled “Share it with friends”

Switch OpenClaw to “Me and people I invite”, then send an invite link as described in Invite a Friend.

Common questions

Section titled “Common questions”

It says “The app on your computer isn’t responding” What happened: the address reached your computer, but OpenClaw didn’t answer. Why: the OpenClaw Gateway isn’t running, or its port changed. How to fix: start OpenClaw on the computer; if you changed the port, run uumit-connector openclaw setup --port <port> again.

Does the OpenClaw iPhone app work? For now, open the address above in your phone’s browser. We’ll update this page when the app can connect directly.
