Thumb-Sized PlugClaw Turns Any Phone Into a Private AI Computer

London – September 09, 2026 -- TrustKernel has moved its PlugClaw device out of preorder and into full global availability, pricing it at 128 euros or 149 dollars with no subscription required.

A USB-C Stick Becomes a Full AI Workstation

PlugClaw measures just 50 x 19 x 8 mm and weighs 15 grams, yet packs a MediaTek Helio G80 processor, up to 6 GB of memory and 128 GB of encrypted storage. It runs PlugOS, a privacy-focused Android variant, alongside Ubuntu as the agent execution environment. Plugging it into a phone, tablet or computer turns that host device into a screen and input source only, while the actual AI agent, its apps, credentials and work data run entirely inside PlugClaw's own isolated environment.

Plugging it in turns any device into an AI workstation

Users connect PlugClaw to a phone, tablet, or computer, which then acts only as a display and input source. The AI agent, its applications, login credentials, and full execution environment run entirely on PlugClaw's own hardware rather than the host device.
