About Clawnetes
Clawnetes is a desktop application that automates installing OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. A guided wizard replaces terminal commands, YAML files and Docker setup, and can target your own Mac or Windows computer or a remote Linux cloud server for always-on use.
The wizard runs environment checks, applies automated security audits and permission hardening, and stores keys encrypted. A brain configuration step lets you choose the memory backend, reasoning model and knowledge sources. Channels such as Discord, Telegram, Slack and email can be paired with one-click OAuth, and a System Doctor feature detects and repairs configuration drift, broken services and stale dependencies.
Version 1.0 is available as downloads for macOS and Windows. The scraped page does not state a price, and the site links to a way to support development.
