# ClawDad beta guide

ClawDad connects your phone to the computer that holds your projects and AI conversations. Keep that computer awake, online, and running ClawDad while you work remotely.

## Start here

1. [Install ClawDad and open a project](https://clawdad.earth/docs/setup).
2. [Sign in to Codex or Claude, then connect it to ClawDad](https://clawdad.earth/docs/accounts).
3. [Install the available phone beta and pair it](https://clawdad.earth/docs/phone).
4. [Use Remote Assist when you need the computer screen](https://clawdad.earth/docs/remote-assist).

[Open your tester portal](https://clawdad.earth/portal/setup) for downloads and device-specific availability. [Report a problem](https://clawdad.earth/docs/troubleshooting) with the steps and versions that reproduce it.

## Beta access

The ClawDad beta is free until Cody launches paid access. Any Codex, Claude, OpenAI, or Anthropic account and usage charges are separate. The portal admits the first 15 eligible applicants in submission order; additional applicants join the waitlist.

Portal admission, a computer download, and a phone invitation are separate steps. An admitted place does not mean an external TestFlight or Google Play build is available for your phone yet. Your portal and the actual store invitation show what you can install.

## Keep a copy

[Save the complete setup README](https://clawdad.earth/docs/setup/README.md) to your computer, or use **Save Guide Locally** in a build that offers it. This Markdown file contains the same reviewed public instructions as these pages and can be read by a person or a local coding agent. Keep your own notes in your copy; a later guide download should use a new filename.

Agents can start with [llms.txt](https://clawdad.earth/llms.txt), read [all public documentation](https://clawdad.earth/llms-full.txt), or use **Copy Markdown** on a page. These exports include the public guide only.
