How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned kellyvv/PhoneClaw a composite score of 8.1 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%).

Risk explanation
Built-in Skills can read or act on local calendar, reminders, contacts, clipboard, and health data, so first evaluation belongs on a non-primary phone with only the needed permissions enabled; Optional Mac remote inference sends requests to a paired LAN machine and can route onward to Ollama, Codex CLI, or other providers, so verify that data flow before using it with sensitive personal context.
