Your AI assistant, sandboxed and beautiful.
Run OpenClaw in an isolated VM with a native macOS experience.
OpenClaw is incredibly powerfulβit can browse the web, write code, manage files, and automate tasks. But there's a catch:
- It runs directly on your machine with full access to everything
- It's CLI-only, which isn't for everyone
ClawBox wraps OpenClaw in a sandboxed Linux VM and gives it a gorgeous native interface.
Your AI assistant gets the tools it needs. Your system stays protected.
- Isolated by default β OpenClaw runs in a VM, not on your host
- Native macOS app β Built with Tauri, feels right at home
- Local AI models β Run Ollama models 100% on your Mac, no API keys needed
- Drag & drop files β Share images and documents with your AI
- Multi-channel β Connect Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more
- Multiple agents β Different personalities for different tasks
- Menu bar integration β Always one click away
