Your Data Stays
on Your Device

OpenClaw runs on your own computer or server—Mac, Linux, Windows, or even Raspberry Pi. Use Claude/GPT or local models: you choose. CoClaw is a community site and never needs access to your chats. Safer defaults (like one-time approvals for new chats) help keep things under your control.
