PocketClaw is an AI assistant on your iPhone for people who run a small business on their own. You connect the apps you already use, like Gmail, Calendar, Stripe, GitHub and Notion, and tell it in plain English what you need. It messages you when something needs your attention.

You describe an automation, for example "message me when a customer asks for a refund", and the agent builds it and shows you a summary card with the trigger, the model and what it is allowed to touch. Nothing runs until you tap Activate, and it only reads your apps unless you approve a write.

Previously, automations only ran on a schedule, like checking Gmail every 15 minutes. Now they can start the moment an email arrives, so a refund email reaches your phone about 2 minutes after it lands. Ready-made templates cover common jobs, such as refund and cancellation emails.

You choose the model yourself, from GPT, Claude and Gemini to Chinese models, and every run is logged in Activity.

I built PocketClaw after trying OpenClaw during its hype period. The first few weeks everything felt novel, but then I realized it was taking more time to maintain than it was saving me. PocketClaw has the same idea with nothing to set up or maintain on your side.

Free to download on the App Store, with plans from just $5/month.
