Claw To Talk: OpenClaw Voice Companion on iOS & Android
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a coherent setup guide for a mobile voice companion, but it involves exposing an OpenClaw gateway through Tailscale and handling access tokens/API keys.
Before using this skill, verify the Claw To Talk app and website, use a strong unique gateway token, approve only devices you recognize, and understand how to disable Tailscale Serve or rotate credentials if you no longer want mobile access.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Users will need to trust and install a separate mobile app before giving it access to their OpenClaw gateway.
The setup relies on an external mobile app and beta distribution path that are not part of the reviewed skill artifacts.
iOS: Search "Claw To Talk" in the App Store ... Android: Join the public beta (contact alvin@boringdystopia.ai)
Verify the app publisher, website, and beta enrollment source before installing or entering tokens.
If configured incorrectly or used with a weak token, the OpenClaw gateway could be reachable by unintended devices on the tailnet.
The guide asks the user to run commands that expose the OpenClaw gateway through Tailscale and restart gateway services.
tailscale serve --bg --yes 18789 openclaw gateway restart
Use a strong unique gateway token, confirm the port and tailnet are correct, and avoid approving unknown devices.
Anyone who obtains the gateway token or API key may be able to access the gateway or use the associated ElevenLabs account.
The setup requires a gateway token and optionally an ElevenLabs API key, both of which grant access to services or accounts.
Enter your Tailscale MagicDNS address ... and the gateway token ... Add ElevenLabs key in the app settings
Keep tokens private, rotate them if exposed, and use separate or limited-scope credentials where available.
Voice companion data and generated speech workflows may pass through the configured app, tailnet, gateway, and optional provider.
The skill sets up communication between a phone app, the OpenClaw gateway, Tailscale, and optionally an external TTS provider.
Make sure both your phone and the OpenClaw machine are connected to the same Tailscale tailnet ... optional ElevenLabs TTS with lip sync
Use trusted devices only, review the app/provider privacy terms, and avoid sending sensitive content unless you are comfortable with that data flow.
Remote gateway availability may remain active until the user disables Tailscale Serve or changes the configuration.
The '--bg' option starts Tailscale Serve in the background, so the remote access setup can continue after the initial command completes.
tailscale serve --bg --yes 18789
Know how to stop Tailscale Serve, revoke device approval, and rotate the gateway token when the mobile access is no longer needed.
