This is a connection-session measurement, not a promise that every provider login will take 32 seconds. It starts when ClawLink creates the session and ends when the provider reports a completed connection. It does not include time spent deciding to connect an app, reading a consent screen, or retrying a separate expired session.
How long does each app take to connect?
The table includes apps with at least 50 completed sessions. A median describes the middle session. The 90th percentile shows the slower end of normal use.

The table above as a chart. ClawLink production data, 16 September 2026.
What does the connection timing mean?
Providers control much of the variation: existing sign-in state, workspace approval rules, and the consent screen. Compare an app with itself over time, not with an unrelated provider whose grant has different requirements.
What changed in this refresh?
The 10 August 2026 snapshot recorded 3,441 completed sessions, a median of 33 seconds, and a 90th percentile of 3 minutes and 4 seconds. The method, the one-hour cutoff, and the validation rules are unchanged. The count grew because more sessions completed, and the app table now lists 23 apps above the 50-session threshold instead of 15.
How was this measured, and what are the limits?
Source: aggregate connection_sessions production rows queried 16 September 2026. The report includes connected sessions, excludes invalid timestamps, and excludes sessions over one hour because they normally represent an abandoned browser flow. It contains no account names or session identifiers, and is not an uptime SLA.
FAQ
How many connections has ClawLink completed?
5,355 completed connection sessions from 2,073 people, as of 16 September 2026. This report counts completed sessions, not accounts, so one person who connects several apps counts once per session.
What is the median ClawLink connection time?
32 seconds, measured from session creation to the provider confirming the connection. The 90th percentile is 2 minutes and 57 seconds. The measurement excludes the time you spend deciding and reading the consent screen.
Which apps are fastest and slowest to connect?
Fastest at the median are Google Maps and Reddit at 18 seconds, Google Meet at 19, Google Calendar at 20, and Canva at 21. Slowest are Google Ads at 1 minute 33 seconds and Telegram at 55 seconds, with Facebook and Instagram reaching around four minutes at the 90th percentile.
Why is my connection slower than the median?
The timer covers the provider's side, not yours. A provider with workspace approval rules, an expired sign-in, or an extra consent step will take longer than one that remembers you. Compare an app with itself over time rather than with a different provider.
Does the number include abandoned connections?
No. The report includes only sessions that reached connected, and it drops any session over one hour because those normally represent an abandoned browser flow. Invalid timestamps are excluded too.
Is this an uptime or speed guarantee?
No. It is a production snapshot of completed sessions as of a date, not an SLA. It tells you what happened, not what will happen during a provider incident.
