macOS

The macOS app serves as a menu-bar companion, handling permissions and managing gateway connections.

Core Features

Native notifications and menu-bar status
System permission management (Notifications, Accessibility, Screen Recording, etc.)
Local or remote gateway management
macOS-exclusive tools (Canvas, Camera, Screen Recording)

Local mode (default): Connects to local gateway or auto-enables launchd service.

Remote mode: Connects to remote gateway via SSH/Tailscale.

The app controls the com.clawdbot.gateway LaunchAgent:

# Restart service
launchctl kickstart -k gui/$UID/com.clawdbot.gateway
 
# Remove service
launchctl bootout gui/$UID/com.clawdbot.gateway

The app registers the clawdbot:// URL scheme:

open 'clawdbot://agent?message=Hello'
