Visit nanoclaw.dev ↗What is NanoClaw?
NanoClaw is a personal AI assistant designed to run securely in isolated Docker containers on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, and other messaging platforms, letting you add only the channels you need. The project emphasizes simplicity and transparency: it has roughly 29,000 lines of TypeScript compared to alternatives with over 400,000, making it easier to understand and customize.
Built for users who want OS-level security isolation rather than application-level permission checks, NanoClaw gives each agent session its own container and memory. The maker used Claude Code to help build it. Setup is straightforward—a single script handles installation, credential registration, and channel pairing from a fresh machine.
