Running a multi-agent OpenClaw swarm from your phone is already possible with ClawRemote — but knowing what each agent is actually doing at any given moment has remained a challenge. A new preview feature aims to change that by bringing real-time delegation graph visualization directly to the mobile interface.
Note: ClawRemote is confirmed as a real app available on TestFlight for iOS. The specific feature naming in this preview — including terminology for the delegation visualization component — hasn’t been independently confirmed by a second source; treat this as a preview announcement with some uncertainty around feature branding.
ClawRemote: The Confirmed Foundation
Before the preview details, some grounding on what ClawRemote already is.
ClawRemote is a mobile companion app for OpenClaw, described by its community as an “industrial, high-density mobile console” for managing self-hosted AI agent systems. It’s currently available in beta via TestFlight and has been discussed in the r/selfhosted community as a full remote interface for OpenClaw multi-agent setups.
The core capability: connect to your OpenClaw gateway from an iPhone, monitor agent sessions, send commands, review outputs, and manage approvals — all from a mobile interface optimized for density rather than simplicity.
The Delegation Tracking Preview
The new preview feature described by the ClawRemote team focuses on visualizing the full delegation hierarchy of an agent swarm in real time.
The problem being solved is recognizable to anyone running complex swarms. When a parent agent spawns several specialist sub-agents, each of which may spawn their own children, the resulting delegation tree can become opaque. Which agents are active? What’s blocking completion of a given branch? Where is work actually happening versus where is it stalled?
According to the announcement, the proposed visualization:
- Maps the full agent delegation graph — parent, child, and grandchild relationships visible simultaneously
- Uses WebSocket streams from the OpenClaw gateway — live data, not polled or scraped
- Allows tapping any sub-agent node to view its workspace stdout logs
- Covers specialist worker lanes including code, web, and bash agent types
The key architectural point is the WebSocket-based data source. Rather than parsing text logs or relying on periodic polling, the visualization subscribes to live gateway events — which means the graph updates in real time as delegation happens, not after the fact.
Why This Matters: The “Blind Execution” Problem
The phrase operators use for the current state is “blind execution” — you kicked off a complex multi-agent task, you know the goal, but what’s actually happening inside the swarm is largely invisible until it either succeeds or fails.
This is a real friction point for scaling swarm deployments. Not because agents can’t be trusted to work autonomously — that’s the whole point — but because when something goes wrong, diagnosis requires reconstructing what happened from logs scattered across multiple agent workspaces.
A real-time delegation graph turns post-hoc debugging into live monitoring. You see the delegation tree update as agents spawn, complete tasks, and terminate. The ability to tap a node and see stdout logs adds a crucial drill-down layer.
Status and Availability
This is a preview feature, not a shipped capability. Based on the announcement framing, the delegation visualization is in development but not yet in the public TestFlight build.
The broader ClawRemote app (without this feature) is available on TestFlight now. For the delegation tracking capability, the best approach is to join the TestFlight beta and watch for updates.
For teams evaluating OpenClaw mobile monitoring options alongside tools like AgentOS by SapienX (also announced this week), ClawRemote serves a different use case — mobile-first, real-time, with a focus on watching live execution rather than managing project structure.
