Vision and Deep Scan
Point your iPhone at a room, shelf, screen, tool, food label, patient handout, or bug. Your agent gets grounded visual context instead of a vague prompt.
The actual unlock
OpenClaw is powerful. CARAPACE makes it present.
Most agents are trapped behind a text box. CARAPACE turns your phone into their sensor rig, control surface, and secure remote cockpit.
Voice that stays in context
Talk naturally while CARAPACE carries the live scene, transcript, location, and active runtime into the same conversation.
Spatial and location awareness
The phone adds place, movement, device signals, and environmental hints so your setup understands where the work is happening.
One control layer
Switch machines, runtimes, and agents like tabs.
Run OpenClaw as your operating layer across the machines you own. CARAPACE keeps each machine, agent, and session organized in one fleet.
Machine switching
Mac, Linux, VPS, Raspberry Pi, and sibling runtimes under one friendly machine picker.
Agent switching
Dedicated agents keep identity, history, projects, and purpose separated.
Machine context
Each QR pairs one private machine with its agents, sessions, and controls.
No hosted middleman
Your gateway, your token, your Tailscale route, your models.

Built-in productivity
The agent is not just chat. It is an operating layer.
CARAPACE gives everyday users the controls that make self-hosted agents useful after the first demo.
Projects
Track initiatives per agent and runtime. Convert suggestions into real work when you are ready.
Cron and reminders
Schedule follow-ups, recurring jobs, and autonomous checks without living in a terminal.
Sessions
Jump between histories, runtimes, and long-running work without losing the thread.
Setup that survives reality
OpenClaw-first install, cache-busted CARAPACE updates, quiet heartbeat setup, QR pairing, and Tailscale routing are guided instead of improvised.
Private by design
CARAPACE is not another AI cloud.
It is a secure client for the agent system you run. Your machines stay yours. Your OpenClaw endpoint stays behind your gateway and Tailscale route.
Tailscale-first remote access, with pairing by QR instead of public dashboards.
OpenClaw is the supported install path, with one private gateway per machine.
History, projects, cron, agents, and runtime state remain separated per machine and runtime.
Start here
The public setup prompt is the install path.
The fastest path is public on this website: get the app, copy the full guarded setup prompt, and paste it into your agent. It layers CARAPACE onto OpenClaw without touching your memory, auth, or history. Prefer to do it by hand? The DMG and one-line installers below are the fallback.

Copy the actual setup prompt
The full CARAPACE + OpenClaw setup prompt is published here. Copy it, paste it into your local agent, and it will inventory the machine, show a plan, ask before changing anything, and layer CARAPACE onto OpenClaw without touching your memory, auth, or history.
Optional voice providers
Scan Voice QR templates
After your phone is paired, import CARAPACE voice settings for OpenAI, xAI, or ElevenLabs. The QR codes carry public connection details only; you enter your own API key in the app.
