OpenClaw has released standalone apps for iOS and Android devices, marking its entry into the App Store and Play Store.

The transition signals a significant shift for OpenClaw, which has moved from a minor player to a prominent presence in the AI landscape. The project is currently open-source and managed by the OpenClaw Foundation, following founder Peter Steinberger’s recent departure to join OpenAI. The apps are published by the OpenClaw Foundation, which is expected to receive unspecified support from OpenAI.
The development of agentic AI tools has faced challenges within Apple’s ecosystem, where the company’s review process remains stringent. Many such tools have been blocked due to security concerns. Prior to the launch of these apps, iOS users relied on third-party chat apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp to interact with their AI agents.
