Hey PH! 👋 I'm Albert, I've been building Mac apps for photographers for 15 years (ApolloOne, Camera RawX). I built KatClaw because I wanted a personal AI assistant that runs on MY machine, follows MY rules, and talks to me on Telegram — without spending an hour in the terminal every time there's an update. OpenClaw is an incredible open-source platform, but the setup is developer-only. KatClaw makes it accessible to everyone. The first 100 licenses are free (Founding Licenses). After that, $49 one-time — no subscriptions. Use code LAUNCH20 for 20% off until March 15! Would love your feedback! 🚀

@xrom2863 congrats on the launch! Does this support tool integrations you’d like your AI assistant to have access to?

@jerrybyday Thanks! Yep — KatClaw is built for that. It lets your assistant use real tools (shell, browser, files, messaging, automations) with security controls and approval flows, so it can actually execute tasks, not just chat.

@xrom2863 i appreciate the local and virtual options. What are the security measures implemented on this?

@jacklyn_i Great question — security is a core focus. KatClaw gives you:

• Security modes (Conservative / Moderate / Full) depending on how locked down you want execution

• Command allowlists + approval prompts for sensitive shell actions

• Per-channel sender controls (who can trigger your assistant)

• DM/group policy controls to reduce accidental exposure in chats

• Backup + restore safety for config recovery

• Local-first architecture (you can run on your own machine/VM)

So you can choose convenience vs control, instead of a one-size-fits-all setup.

🎉 100 Founding Licenses Claimed in 48 Hours!

We didn't expect this. 100 founding licenses gone across 27 countries in two days. Thank you to everyone who believed in KatClaw early.

Since launch:

• Filed upstream feature requests to improve OpenClaw's security APIs

• Adding Kimi China region support for mainland users

Missed the founding licenses? Use code LAUNCH20 for 20% off ($39 instead of $49) — valid until March 15.

Thanks for the support!

🧩 Update: Skills Manager is here

4 days in, and we've shipped one of the most requested features — a full Skills Manager built into KatClaw.

What are Skills?

Skills are modular capabilities that teach your agent new tricks. Think of them as plugins — each one adds a specific workflow, from GitHub automation to photo editing to web search.

What's new:

📦 Installed tab — See all 50+ bundled skills at a glance. Toggle any skill on/off. Clear Ready/Missing status indicators so you know exactly what's working.

🌐 Browse ClawHub — Search and install community-built skills from the ClawHub marketplace. Every skill is scanned by VirusTotal with clear Safe/Suspicious badges. KatClaw is the only desktop app doing automated safety checks on agent skills.

✏️ Custom tab — Built-in SKILL.md editor for creating your own skills. Teach your agent domain-specific workflows without leaving the app.

🍺 One-click dependency install — Missing a prerequisite? Click "Install with Homebrew" and KatClaw handles it. No terminal, no copy-pasting commands. The skill flips to Ready automatically.

Why this matters:

Other tools let you install skills but don't tell you if they're safe. We fetch VirusTotal Code Insight results for every community skill and show you exactly what you're installing — Safe, Suspicious, or Blocked. Your agent, your rules.
