Adolf is a fork/vendored clone of github.com/openclaw/openclaw (v2026.6.11), free to diverge. Tree copied sans upstream .git; upstream remote added for future syncs.

| Install and use the OpenClaw macOS menu bar app |
|
macOS app |
The macOS app is the OpenClaw menu bar companion: native tray UI, macOS
permission prompts, notifications, WebChat, voice input, Canvas, and
Mac-hosted node tools such as system.run.
Only need the CLI and Gateway? Start with Getting started.
Download
Get macOS app builds from OpenClaw GitHub releases. When a release ships macOS app assets, look for:
OpenClaw-<version>.dmg(preferred)OpenClaw-<version>.zip
Some releases only ship CLI, evidence, or Windows assets. If the newest release has no macOS app asset, use the newest one that does, or build from source with macOS dev setup.
First run
- Install and launch OpenClaw.app.
- Pick This Mac for a local Gateway, or connect to a remote Gateway.
- Local mode: wait while the app installs its user-space runtime and Gateway.
- Complete provider setup and the macOS permission checklist.
- Send the onboarding test message.
For the CLI/Gateway setup path, use Getting started. For permission recovery, use macOS permissions.
Choose a Gateway mode
| Mode | Use it when | Detail page |
|---|---|---|
| Local | This Mac should run the Gateway and keep it alive with launchd. | Gateway on macOS |
| Remote | Another host runs the Gateway; this Mac controls it over SSH, LAN, or Tailnet. | Remote control |
Local mode needs an installed openclaw CLI. On a fresh Mac, the app installs
the matching CLI and runtime automatically before starting the Gateway wizard.
See Gateway on macOS for manual recovery.
What the app owns
- Menu bar status, notifications, health, and WebChat.
- macOS permission prompts for screen, microphone, speech, automation, and accessibility.
- Local node tools: Canvas, camera/screen capture, notifications, and
system.run. - Exec approval prompts for Mac-hosted commands.
- Remote-mode SSH tunnels or direct Gateway connections.
The app does not replace the Gateway or general CLI docs. Gateway configuration, providers, plugins, channels, tools, and security live in their own docs.
