About
ClawChat is a native desktop chat client for OpenClaw that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects to your remote OpenClaw gateway without requiring Node.js or npm — just download and chat with your AI agents. It features built-in SSH tunneling, session management, markdown rendering, file attachments, and a privacy-first design where all credentials stay local.
OpenClaw users who want a polished, standalone desktop chat client for their agent without dealing with command-line setup or gateway management complexity.
