LocalClaw is a secure, self-hosted OpenClaw workstation for people who want their agent, secrets, and working context to stay close, inspectable, and under their control. Vault is optional, and the stack supports vault-only, vault + password manager, or password-manager-only. The docs explain why you would pick each one, and the first OpenClaw message should match the secret mode you chose.

LocalClaw brings together trusted open-source projects instead of hiding the stack behind a black box. Vault is optional, the install path supports three explicit modes, and the supported password managers are Bitwarden, 1Password, and LastPass.

The local advantage

Powerful enough to help.
Quiet enough to trust.

LocalClaw gives OpenClaw a careful home base: a setup you can understand, inspect, back up, and take with you.

01
◉

Pick the right secret mode

Vault-only is simplest, Vault + password manager adds external recovery, and password-manager-only skips Vault entirely. The docs explain why you would pick each one and include matching first-message starter statements for OpenClaw.

⌘

Know what is running

Foreground sessions, loopback listeners, readable scripts, and a doctor command that tells you when something needs attention. The current QA baseline passes on macOS and Ubuntu.

Bring it with you

Encrypted backups, documented recovery, and a versioned wrapper make your setup portable instead of precious.

Install it.
Understand it.
Make it yours.

LocalClaw is a hardened layer around OpenClaw. Use a local Vault when you want it, or skip it for the password-manager-backed flow. The installer now supports three modes: Vault only, Vault plus a password manager, or password-manager-only. The docs also spell out why you would pick each mode and the matching first OpenClaw message.
