Key Points

  • PokeClaw is presented as (as far as the author knows) the first working app using Gemma 4 to autonomously control an Android phone.
  • The project claims a fully on-device, closed-loop pipeline that does not require Wi‑Fi or any cloud/API-key usage.
  • The prototype is open-source, built quickly (over roughly two all-nighters) and positioned as a working proof-of-concept rather than a polished consumer product.
  • The author invites users to test it on their devices and contribute via pull requests and issue reports if it breaks.

PokeClaw (PocketClaw) - A Pocket Versoin Inspired By OpenClaw

Gemma 4 launched 4 days ago.

I wanted to know if it could actually drive a phone.

So I pulled two all-nighters and built it.

As far as I know, this is the first working app built on Gemma 4 that can autonomously control an Android phone.

The entire pipeline is a closed loop inside your device. No Wifi needed,No monthly billing for the API keys.

AI controls your phone. And it never leaves your phone.

This is a open-source prototype built from scratch in 2 days, not a polished consumer app. If it works on your device, amazing. If it breaks, PRs are welcome.
