Onepilot vs Clawket

Clawket is an open-source mobile companion app for AI agents, available on iOS and Android, that supports OpenClaw and Hermes. It lets you chat with your agent, see its responses, and manage skills, cron jobs, and tool settings, with a playful pixel-art view of your agent. It's a well-made client for talking to and operating an agent you've already set up.

The biggest difference is the connection model. Clawket is a companion client that connects to an agent you've already deployed and talks to it through its gateway/API. Onepilot opens a real SSH tunnel to the host: it deploys the agent for you through a wizard, then gives you the host itself — a real interactive terminal, a syntax-highlighted file browser, a git tab with real diffs, and cron. So Clawket is excellent for chatting with and operating an existing agent, while Onepilot also handles setup and gives you full shell-level control of the machine the agent runs on.

Yes — both are multi-framework on that front. Clawket supports OpenClaw and Hermes. Onepilot deploys OpenClaw and Hermes through its wizard and, because it includes a real terminal, also runs Claude Code and Codex CLI once they're installed on the host. If running coding agents like Claude Code or Codex alongside Hermes matters to you, that's a point of difference.

Clawket is primarily a client for an agent you've already installed and configured on a host — you bring the running agent, it gives you a mobile interface to chat and manage it. Onepilot includes the deploy step: it SSHes into a host you own, installs the agent under nvm with no sudo, wires the LLM provider and the messaging channel, and starts it as a background process. If you'd rather not hand-install the agent first, that deploy flow is the difference.

Chat is great for directing the agent, but some things need the host. Reading the actual skill files a self-improving agent like Hermes writes, inspecting a git diff to verify exactly what changed, tailing a log when the gateway won't start, or running an arbitrary command to fix something — those need shell access, not a chat box. Onepilot's SSH tunnel gives you that. It's the difference between operating the agent and operating the whole machine it lives on.

No. They connect to the agent differently, so you could use either or both — the agent is the same process on the same host. Many people will prefer one app for everything; Onepilot aims to be that one app by covering deploy, chat-channel routing, and full SSH control across multiple frameworks. Clawket is a strong choice if a focused, playful chat-and-ops companion is what you want.
