Bluetooth App Setup

Push WiFi credentials to newer-batch StoryClaw devices via the App's Bluetooth feature to complete network setup in 1–2 minutes.

For newer-batch devices, push WiFi credentials via the StoryClaw App's Bluetooth feature. Setup takes about 1–2 minutes.

WiFi Requirements

Recommended: Home broadband, office direct WiFi (password only)
Note: For hotel, airport, or mall networks requiring a browser login page, connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the device first to complete authentication

Think twice before changing your bound email

First-bind bonus: The first bound email receives 2,000 bonus credits (Token). Unbinding and switching to a new email forfeits this bonus
Credits are non-transferable: Credits already topped up to the original email cannot be moved to a new one
Sharing: To let others use the device, add shared emails in device settings (up to 5) — no need to unbind your account

No need to carry the device with you

Place StoryClaw in a stable home WiFi environment once, then access and use it from anywhere via the App or console. No need to travel with the device.

Before you start

StoryClaw App is installed, phone Bluetooth is on, and the device is powered on and running.

Flow: Download App → Open App → Add via Bluetooth → Scan & discover → Enter WiFi info → Setup complete

App Store download TestFlight

Waiting to scan for devices

StoryClaw device discovered

Tip

If "No devices found" appears, confirm the device is powered on and within 5 meters, then tap "Scan" again.

5. Select device and enter WiFi credentials

Tap the target device (name format: StoryClaw_XXXXXX). The App connects via Bluetooth automatically. Once connected, fill in:

WiFi Name (SSID): select from the dropdown or tap "Enter SSID manually"
WiFi Password: enter the password for the selected WiFi

iPhone (iOS) note

Due to iOS restrictions, the App cannot scan nearby WiFi networks — the dropdown only shows the WiFi your phone is currently connected to. Before setup, connect your phone to the same WiFi you want the device to use, or tap "Enter SSID manually" to type the WiFi name and password directly.

After filling in the details, tap the submit button at the bottom and wait for the result.

Enter WiFi name and password

6. Setup complete — device bound

When the "Setup Complete" dialog appears, the device has connected to WiFi and completed account binding. Tap "Done" to return to the chat page and start using the device.

Setup complete

Tip

After binding, the device auto-connects on every boot. Repeat this flow only when changing WiFi networks.

Troubleshooting

Q: Scan keeps showing "No devices found"?

Confirm Bluetooth is on and the App has Bluetooth permission (System Settings → App Permissions)
Move closer to the device — stay within 5 meters
Confirm the device is powered on and indicator lights are on
Tap "Stop Scan", then tap "Scan for Devices" again

Q: Setup failed or no response for a long time?

Check that the WiFi name and password are correct (case-sensitive)
Ensure the target WiFi is 2.4GHz — some devices don't support 5GHz
Tap "Disconnect and Rescan", reselect the device and try again

Q: Only one WiFi option in the dropdown on iPhone?

iOS restricts WiFi scanning — the dropdown only shows the WiFi your phone is currently connected to
Recommended: Before setup, connect your phone to the target WiFi (the one the device will use) — the dropdown will auto-fill with that WiFi name
If you can't switch first, tap "Enter SSID manually" to type the WiFi name and password directly

Q: No "Add Device via Bluetooth" button?

This button only appears when the app detects the device is offline — it's hidden when the device is online
If the device is offline but the button isn't showing, close and reopen the App
