Can anybody tell me how I can get access to the beta companion app for Android?

Right now there isn’t a public “beta” Android companion app you can just download from the Play Store.

The Android companion app is in the main OpenClaw repo as the Android Node app (apps/android) and you run it by building/installing it yourself:

Repo folder: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/tree/main/apps/android
Docs (connect + pairing runbook): https://docs.openclaw.ai/platforms/android

Quick path:

Clone the repo, open apps/android in Android Studio (or use Gradle).
Build/install a debug build:
- cd apps/android
- ./gradlew :app:installDebug
In the app: Settings → Discovered Gateways (or Manual Gateway) and connect.
On the gateway machine approve pairing:
- openclaw nodes pending
- openclaw nodes approve <requestId>
