Important Limitations

This App is a Helper Tool

OpenClaw Runner does NOT include OpenClaw itself. It provides an easy interface to install and manage OpenClaw running in Termux. You need:

• Termux installed (guided in app)
• OpenClaw API credentials
• OpenClaw account/subscription

Termux Dependency

OpenClaw requires Termux to run. Termux must remain installed for OpenClaw functionality.

Background Execution

Android's battery optimization may stop Termux in the background. Disable battery optimization for Termux for best results. Some aggressive battery savers may still interfere.

Network Requirements

OpenClaw requires internet connectivity to function. The gateway runs on your device but communicates with OpenClaw services online.

Manual Steps Required

• Manually install Termux APK (Android security requirement)
• Copy/paste commands into Termux
• Configure battery optimization settings

Storage Space

OpenClaw and dependencies require approximately 300-500MB of storage in Termux, separate from this app's size.

Privacy & Security

• No personal data collection beyond standard analytics
• OpenClaw credentials stay on your device
• Authentication tokens stored locally only
• Commands executed locally in Termux
• Internet permission used only for Termux downloads and OpenClaw communication
