Official website: https://clawtotalk.com
Full step-by-step setup guide: How To Connect — Claw To Talk

Claw To Talk is the official free mobile app that turns your OpenClaw into a real voice companion.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user asks about:

  • voice, push-to-talk, mobile app, phone voice, talk from phone, Claw To Talk, voice companion
  • connecting OpenClaw to iOS/Android
  • remote voice access, Tailscale setup for voice

Full Setup Instructions (copy-paste for the user)

  1. Install the app

  2. Join the same Tailnet
    Make sure both your phone and the OpenClaw machine are connected to the same Tailscale tailnet.

  3. Configure OpenClaw gateway (edit 

    ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
    )

    {
  "gateway": {
    "port": 18789,
    "mode": "local",
    "bind": "loopback",
    "auth": { "type": "token", "token": "your-super-long-secure-token-here" },
    "tailscale": { "serve": true }
  }
}

  4. Start Tailscale Serve

    Bash

    tailscale serve --bg --yes 18789
openclaw gateway restart

  5. In the Claw To Talk app Enter your Tailscale MagicDNS address (e.g. wss://your-machine.tailnet.ts.net) and the gateway token.

  6. Approve the device

    Bash

    openclaw devices list
openclaw devices approve <device-id>

  7. (Recommended) Add ElevenLabs key in the app settings for much better voice quality.

Troubleshooting (common issues)

  • Connection refused → Check Tailscale status on both devices
  • "Not authorized" → Run the approve command
  • Voice sounds robotic → Add ElevenLabs API key
  • Port issues → Use exactly port 18789 as shown above
