Give your OpenClaw agent a face and voice on iPhone

An iPhone app is only the face and voice of your own OpenClaw gateway on a Mac, over Tailscale, with lip-sync and hands-free talk.

Prompt for your agent

Goal: Talk to my own agent hands-free, like a person.
Setup: agents used in source: OpenClaw; tools/MCPs stated: Tailscale, iPhone.
Steps:
1. Keep the OpenClaw gateway on your own Mac.
2. Connect the phone app over your Tailscale network and approve its device key once.
3. Use the gateway’s text-to-speech for the voice; the app lip-syncs from the text.
4. Talk, pause, and it sends; it listens again after each reply.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
