A tiny clip-on AI that listens, thinks, and acts.
Not another assistant on your phone — a full agent you wear.
Website · App Store · Docs · Discord · Twitter
Clip it on, press the button, speak naturally. Your AI agent schedules meetings, drafts emails, sets reminders, books reservations — all in the background. You move on with your life.

The hardware/ directory contains 3D-printable enclosure STL files. The firmware/ directory contains the full Zephyr source code and a pre-built UF2 binary — flash via drag-and-drop, no programmer needed.
Your phone isn't just a pipe — it's the bridge between you and your AI. The Pinclaw app registers native iOS capabilities as skills your agent can call:
- Calendar — Read and create events
- Reminders — Manage tasks and to-do lists
- Contacts — Look up people
- Health — Access HealthKit data
- HomeKit — Control smart home devices
- Location — Context-aware responses
- Timer — Set and manage timers
Say "schedule a meeting tomorrow at 3pm" — the agent calls your iPhone's calendar directly.
All data stays on your iPhone. You control every permission.
