Canvas Skill

Display HTML content on connected OpenClaw nodes (Mac app, iOS, Android).

Overview

The canvas tool lets you present web content on any connected node's canvas view. Great for:

Displaying games, visualizations, dashboards
Showing generated HTML content
Interactive demos

How It Works

Architecture

Canvas Host Server: Serves static HTML/CSS/JS files from canvasHost.root directory
Node Bridge: Communicates canvas URLs to connected nodes
Node Apps: Render the content in a WebView

Tailscale Integration

The canvas host server binds based on gateway.bind setting:

| Bind Mode | Server Binds To | Canvas URL Uses | | ---------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- | | loopback | 127.0.0.1 | localhost (local only) | | lan | LAN interface | LAN IP address | | tailnet | Tailscale interface | Tailscale hostname | | auto | Best available | Tailscale > LAN > loopback |

Key insight: The canvasHostHostForBridge is derived from bridgeHost. When bound to Tailscale, nodes receive URLs like:

http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.html

This is why localhost URLs don't work - the node receives the Tailscale hostname from the bridge!

Actions

| Action | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------ | | present | Show canvas with optional target URL | | hide | Hide the canvas | | navigate | Navigate to a new URL | | eval | Execute JavaScript in the canvas | | snapshot | Capture screenshot of canvas |

Configuration

In ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "canvasHost": {
    "enabled": true,
    "port": 18793,
    "root": "/Users/you/clawd/canvas",
    "liveReload": true
  },
  "gateway": {
    "bind": "auto"
  }
}

Live Reload

When liveReload: true (default), the canvas host:

Watches the root directory for changes
Injects a WebSocket client into HTML files
Automatically reloads connected canvases when files change

Great for development!

Workflow

1. Create HTML content

Place files in the canvas root directory (default ~/clawd/canvas/):

cat > ~/clawd/canvas/my-game.html << 'HTML'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>My Game</title></head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello Canvas!</h1>
</body>
</html>
HTML

2. Find your canvas host URL

Check how your gateway is bound:

cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.gateway.bind'

Then construct the URL:

loopback: http://127.0.0.1:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.html
lan/tailnet/auto: http://<hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.html

Find your Tailscale hostname:

tailscale status --json | jq -r '.Self.DNSName' | sed 's/\.$//'

3. Find connected nodes

openclaw nodes list

Look for Mac/iOS/Android nodes with canvas capability.

4. Present content

canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:<full-url>

Example:

canvas action:present node:<node-id> target:http://<tailscale-hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/snake.html

5. Navigate, snapshot, or hide

canvas action:navigate node:<node-id> url:<new-url>
canvas action:snapshot node:<node-id>
canvas action:hide node:<node-id>

Debugging

White screen / content not loading

Cause: URL mismatch between server bind and node expectation.

Debug steps:

Check server bind: cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.gateway.bind'
Check what port canvas is on: lsof -i :18793
Test URL directly: curl http://<hostname>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/<file>.html

Solution: Use the full hostname matching your bind mode, not localhost.

"node required" error

Always specify node:<node-id> parameter.

"node not connected" error

Node is offline. Use openclaw nodes list to find online nodes.

Content not updating

If live reload isn't working:

Check liveReload: true in config
Ensure file is in the canvas root directory
Check for watcher errors in logs

URL Path Structure

The canvas host serves from /__openclaw__/canvas/ prefix:

http://<host>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/index.html  → ~/clawd/canvas/index.html
http://<host>:18793/__openclaw__/canvas/games/snake.html → ~/clawd/canvas/games/snake.html

The /__openclaw__/canvas/ prefix is defined by CANVAS_HOST_PATH constant.

Tips

Keep HTML self-contained (inline CSS/JS) for best results
Use the default index.html as a test page (has bridge diagnostics)
The canvas persists until you hide it or navigate away
Live reload makes development fast - just save and it updates!
A2UI JSON push is WIP - use HTML files for now
