Aster connects Android to AI assistants like Claude, OpenClaw, or MoltBot via Model Context Protocol. The CoPilot for your mobile — or give your AI a dedicated device and let it call, text, and act on its own.
Find duplicate photos on my phone and free up space
Found 47 duplicate sets taking up 1.2 GB. Want me to keep the best quality version of each and delete the rest?
You gave your AI a voice.
Now give it hands.
Your AI assistant already reads, writes, and thinks for you. But it's been stuck behind a screen — unable to touch the one device that runs your life.
Your AI can talk
"Hey AI, set an alarm for 6 AM" — and then you pick up the phone yourself.
Your AI can act
"Hey AI, set an alarm for 6 AM" — and it just does it.
"You already trust AI with your emails, your calendar, your code.
Aster lets it touch your phone — or better yet, its own."
"Your flight to Delhi boards in 90 min. Leave now to make it."
Give your AI
its own phone.
Plug an old Android into a charger. Install Aster. Connect it to your AI. Now your assistant has its own number, its own device — and it can call you.
You gave it WhatsApp. You gave it Telegram. You gave it your email.
Now give it a phone. Let it call you back.
"Turn off my alarm and read me any urgent messages."
Your AI silences the alarm, scans notifications, and gives you a voice briefing — all before you open your eyes.
"My phone is somewhere in this room — make it vibrate."
Triggers a strong vibration pattern instantly. No need to find another phone to call yourself.
"Screenshot my boarding pass and save it to Downloads."
Opens your email, finds the pass, takes a screenshot, and files it — ready for offline access.
"What apps did my kid use today and for how long?"
Reads app usage stats and gives you a clear breakdown. No snooping apps needed.
"Find all photos with Mom from this year."
Searches by date, location, and content. Returns a curated gallery from your camera roll.
"Send me a photo of my dog every hour — I'm at work all day."
Your AI snaps a photo via the phone camera and forwards it to your WhatsApp. Your pup is safe, and you have the photos to prove it.
Your phone talks to your AI
before you even ask.
Aster pushes real-time events — SMS, notifications, device status — straight to your AI via webhooks. No polling, no delays. Your AI reacts the moment something happens.
Mom: "Running late, can you pick up groceries on the way?"
Airline app: Flight AI-302 delayed 45 min — new gate B12
Delivery app: Your package has been delivered to your doorstep
Samsung Galaxy S25 connected — Android 16, battery 87%
Works out of the box with OpenClaw, ClawdBot & MoltBot
Enable proactive event forwarding in one command. Your AI agent starts receiving real-time phone events via webhook — no extra setup, no plugins.
✓ Webhook connected — events will forward automatically
Or configure from the dashboard at /settings/openclaw
Check on your dog while you're at work
Set up a spare phone near your pet. Your AI takes photos on schedule and sends them to your WhatsApp. Your pup is safe, and you have the pics to prove it.
Record a clip when someone's at the door
Keep a spare phone near your entrance. When a doorbell notification fires, your AI records a short video and texts it to you.
Know the second your ride arrives
Your AI watches for ride-hailing notifications. "Driver is 2 mins away" — it speaks it aloud via TTS and texts you so you're ready.
Get called when your flight status changes
Gate change? Delay? Cancellation? Your AI monitors airline notifications and actually calls you to speak the update — no more missed gate announcements.
Keep an eye on the nursery
Keep a spare phone in the baby's room. Your AI takes periodic photos and forwards them to your WhatsApp. Peace of mind, one message away.
Auto-reply when you're busy or driving
In a meeting? Driving? Your AI reads incoming messages and sends context-aware replies — "In a meeting, will call you back in 30 min."
40+ tools. Your phone or theirs.
Screen control, file management, media intelligence, calls, SMS, and device automation — whether it's your CoPilot on mobile or your AI is running its own phone.
Screen Control
Capture screenshots, read the UI tree, tap, swipe, type, and navigate — all through natural language.
File Management
List, read, write, delete files. Analyze storage, find large files, and manage your device filesystem.
Media Intelligence
Search photos with natural language — "trip to Mumbai last month" or "sunset photos near the beach".
Notifications & SMS
Read notifications in real-time, access SMS threads, or let your AI monitor its own phone and alert you when something matters.
Shell Execution
Run shell commands within the app sandbox. Launch intents, manage packages, and automate workflows.
Audio & Haptics
Text-to-speech, audio playback, custom vibration patterns, toast messages, and overlay displays.
Location & Battery
GPS coordinates, geocoding, battery health and charge level — all accessible to your AI assistant.
Calls, SMS & Voice
Make calls, send SMS, or use make_call_with_voice to dial someone and speak a message via TTS on speakerphone — fully autonomous.
Proactive Events
Your AI doesn't just wait for commands — it reacts to incoming SMS, notifications, and device events in real-time via webhooks.
Camera & Video
Take photos or record video remotely. Pet cam, home security, package delivery — your AI's eyes are always on.
Companion apps included
Aster ships with an Android companion app and a web dashboard for device management, file browsing, and MCP tool testing.
Things you'll actually say — and things your AI will
Forget technical jargon. Talk to your AI like a human, or let it act on its own device — Aster handles the rest.

Like texting a super-powered assistant
Watch a real conversation unfold. Every message triggers actual tools on the Android device — yours or the AI's own.
Your data never leaves your network
Aster is fully self-hosted. No cloud, no telemetry, no third-party relay — whether it's your CoPilot on mobile or a dedicated AI device.
Self-Hosted
Runs entirely on your machine. No cloud dependency, no data leaves your network.
Zero Telemetry
No analytics, no tracking, no usage data collection. What you do stays with you.
Device Approval
Every new device must be manually approved from your dashboard before connecting.
Private & Tailscale Ready
The MCP server runs on your machine. For remote access, Aster auto-detects Tailscale and routes traffic over an encrypted WireGuard mesh — zero config, no port forwarding.
No Root Required
Uses the official Android Accessibility Service API — the same system powering screen readers. No rooting, no ADB hacks, no exploits. Every action is permission-gated and sandboxed.
MIT licensed. Read every line, audit every tool, fork and modify freely.
Watch a command propagate
From natural language to hardware execution — trace a command across AI, server, and device. Works the same whether it's your CoPilot on mobile or AI running its own phone.
