JoaxClaw in your browser

The web version runs the same app as the desktop build, in a browser or installed as a phone app. It's hosted here for sponsors — and it's MIT-licensed, so you can always host it yourself for free instead.

Before it will work

Two things are required by the browser and by your own gateway — neither is something this site can do for you:

• Your gateway needs TLS (a wss:// address). A page served over HTTPS cannot open a plain ws:// socket, so a bare LAN gateway won't connect. Tailscale Serve or any TLS-terminating proxy in front of your gateway works.
• This origin has to be allowed by your gateway. In your gateway's ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, add the full origin — scheme included, no trailing slash — to gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins:

  {
    "gateway": {
      "controlUi": {
        "allowedOrigins": ["https://www.joaxclaw.ai", "https://joaxclaw.ai"]
      }
    }
  }

  Merge it into any controlUi settings you already have rather than replacing them. Loopback, private-range, .local, and .ts.net origins are accepted automatically — a public domain like this one is not.
  Editing it in JoaxClaw (Gateway → Config) writes to the gateway you're connected to and hot-reloads it; editing the file by hand needs openclaw gateway restart.

Your phone or browser then pairs as its own device: it generates a key, and you approve it once on the gateway host with openclaw devices approve --latest. Your gateway token and that key stay in your browser — see the privacy policy.

Or host it yourself, free

Nothing here is exclusive. The web app is part of the public repository, and the build has no server component:

git clone https://github.com/joax/joaxclaw
cd joaxclaw
npm install
npm run build:web        # static bundle → out/web

Serve out/web from anywhere your phone can reach over HTTPS. If you serve it from the gateway host itself, or any .ts.net / private-range origin, you don't even need the allowedOrigins change above. Sponsoring buys you the convenience of not doing this, and it funds the project — not access.
