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

Tailscale Integration

The canvas host server binds based on gateway.bind setting: Bind ModeServer Binds ToCanvas URL Usesloopback127.0.0.1localhost (local only)lanLAN interfaceLAN IP addresstailnetTailscale interfaceTailscale hostnameautoBest availableTailscale > 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

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 (via chokidar) Injects a WebSocket client into HTML files Automatically reloads connected canvases when files change Great for development!

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:mac-63599bc4-b54d-4392-9048-b97abd58343a target:http://peters-mac-studio-1.sheep-coho.ts.net: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>

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