Why Run OpenClaw Locally?

Most AI agent platforms want you to rent a cloud server. But if you just want a personal assistant on Telegram or Discord, your own computer is the server. SingleClaw packages OpenClaw into a Docker container with a visual dashboard — install it, connect your bot token, and you have a running AI agent in minutes. No DevOps experience needed.

SingleClaw FAQ

What do I need to run SingleClaw?

Docker Desktop on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine. That's it. No cloud account, no VPS, no credit card for server hosting.

Will it slow down my computer?

OpenClaw is lightweight — it mainly makes API calls to Claude or GPT. The dashboard shows real-time resource usage so you can keep an eye on it. Most users don't notice any impact.

Does my computer need to stay on?

Your agent runs while your computer is on and Docker is running. If you want 24/7 uptime, check out Managed Hosting or run ClawPanel on a VPS.

How is this different from ClawPanel?

ClawPanel manages multiple agents on a server. SingleClaw is for running one agent on your own computer. If you outgrow it, your license credit applies to a ClawPanel upgrade.
