Chowder for iOS
Open source iOS client and Live Activity UI for OpenClaw agents
Chowder is a native Swift client designed to connect iOS devices to an OpenClaw AI agent gateway over Tailscale and WebSockets. It showcases agent-first mobile UI patterns, displaying multi-step agent reasoning, tool execution, and task completions directly through iOS Live Activities and inline chat animations.
What it's for
- Monitor multi-step autonomous AI agent runs directly from the iOS lock screen
- Interact with a self-hosted OpenClaw personal AI assistant over a private Tailscale network
- Study reference implementations of iOS Live Activities and streaming interfaces tailored for agentic workflows
Features
- Lock-screen Live Activity tracking for active agent runs
- Streaming AI responses over WebSocket using the OpenClaw Gateway Protocol
- Real-time visibility into agent thinking steps and tool executions with haptic feedback
- Two-way identity and profile synchronization with agent workspace markdown files
- Persistent local chat history that survives app relaunches
- Built-in standalone demo mode to test Live Activity animations without host connectivity
Pricing
