ClawPal

A desktop companion app for OpenClaw — manage your AI agents, models, and configurations with a visual interface instead of editing JSON by hand.

Features

• Install OpenClaw — Start from guided installation paths (Local / WSL2 / Docker / Remote SSH), run step-by-step precheck/install/init/verify, then continue directly to config workflows
• Recipes — Browse and apply pre-built configuration templates with parameter forms, live diffs, and automatic rollback on failure
• Agent Management — Create, configure, and monitor your OpenClaw agents at a glance
• Model Profiles — Set up API keys, browse the model catalog, and switch the global default model in one click
• Channel Bindings — Connect Discord channels to agents with per-channel model overrides
• Doctor — Run diagnostics, auto-fix common issues, and clean up stale sessions
• History & Rollback — Every config change is snapshotted; roll back to any point in time
• Remote Management — Connect to remote OpenClaw instances over SSH and manage them the same way
• Auto-Update — ClawPal checks for new versions and updates itself in-app

WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

If you have OpenClaw installed inside WSL2, you can manage it from ClawPal using the built-in SSH Remote feature:

1. Enable SSH inside your WSL2 distro:

   sudo apt install openssh-server
   sudo systemctl enable ssh
   sudo systemctl start ssh

2. In ClawPal, add a new SSH host:

   • Host: localhost
   • Port: the SSH port (default 22, or check with ss -tlnp | grep ssh)
   • User: your WSL2 username

3. Connect — ClawPal will manage the WSL2 OpenClaw instance the same as any remote server.
