OpenClaw's full agentic runtime, packaged as a native macOS app. Run tools, search documents, browse the web, control terminals — all locally, all private.
Oskar
Oskar brings OpenClaw — the open-source agentic AI framework — to your desktop as a native Mac app. It's not a chatbot wrapper. It's a fully autonomous agent that can execute code, browse the web, read your documents, manage your terminals, and connect to 50+ integrations. Everything runs on your machine. Nothing leaves unless you say so.
Install in one click. No infrastructure. No API keys to juggle.
Multi-step planning with automatic tool orchestration. Oskar breaks complex requests into sub-tasks, selects the right tools for each step, executes them in sequence or parallel, and iterates on results until the job is done. It handles errors, retries, and course-corrects without manual intervention.
Run shell commands, Python scripts, Node.js code, and system utilities directly on your machine. Oskar can install packages, build projects, run tests, and automate DevOps tasks. A built-in approval system lets you review commands before execution, with configurable trust levels for different operations.
Ships with a bundled Chromium browser powered by Playwright. Navigate to any website, interact with web apps, fill out forms, click buttons, extract data, take full-page screenshots, and download files. Works headless for background tasks or visible so you can watch the agent browse in real time.
A local SQLite-backed full-text search index of your filesystem. Point it at any folder and it indexes PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, Markdown, source code, and plain text. Ask natural-language questions about your files and get instant answers with source references — no cloud upload required.
Discover running Claude Code sessions across VS Code terminals, iTerm, and any other terminal emulator. Send prompts directly into active sessions, read their transcripts, and coordinate work across multiple coding agent instances. Useful for orchestrating parallel development workflows from a single interface.
Continuously watches configured directories on your filesystem and builds a searchable, categorized knowledge base. New and modified files are automatically classified by domain (code, docs, design, data), indexed for search, and tracked over time. Generates daily summaries of what changed across your projects.
Real-time WebSocket-based conversation with live tool activity feed. See exactly which tools the agent is invoking, what files it's reading, and what commands it's running — as it happens. Abort any operation mid-stream, redirect the agent, or let it work autonomously. Full Markdown rendering with code blocks, tables, and images.
Three-tier access control (Public, Team, Private) enforced at the data source via a configurable policy file. Observation data stays on your machine. Summaries shared over the network contain metadata only — never raw file contents. Works completely offline with no mandatory cloud dependency. Full audit trail of every agent action.
Pre-built connectors for GitHub, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Workspace, Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, Apple Reminders, Things 3, Trello, Spotify, Sonos, Philips Hue, RTSP cameras, weather services, and more. Each skill is a self-contained plugin that can be enabled or disabled from the settings panel.
Some things people use Oskar for every day.
Point Oskar at a folder of PDFs, spreadsheets, or code and ask questions. It indexes everything locally and pulls answers from your own files.
"Summarize the key findings from last quarter's reports"
Run coding agents in the background, manage GitHub PRs, execute scripts, and debug issues. Reads your codebase and makes changes directly.
"Create a PR that fixes the auth bug in the login flow"
Automate repetitive web tasks. Fill forms, scrape data, monitor dashboards, take screenshots, interact with apps that don't have APIs.
"Go to our analytics dashboard and export this month's data"
Manage multiple Claude Code sessions from one place. Send tasks, check progress, and coordinate parallel workflows.
"Send the frontend terminal a task to update the nav component"
Draft and send emails, post to Slack channels, manage Discord servers, handle notifications — all through natural language.
"Post the release notes to #engineering on Slack"
Manage Apple Reminders, Things 3 todos, Notion databases, and calendar events. Connects to the tools you already use.
"Add a reminder to review the contract by Friday"
Pre-configured integrations. Enable what you need in Settings.
Everything you need to run Oskar on your Mac.
Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later)
8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended
2 GB free disk space for the app, plus space for browser automation cache and document indexes
macOS 12.3 (Monterey) or later
Tested on macOS 13 Ventura, 14 Sonoma, and 15 Sequoia.
Windows and Linux support is on the roadmap.
Oskar uses Google Gemini as its AI backbone. You'll need a Gemini API key (free tier available at Google AI Studio). Bring your own key — Oskar never proxies through our servers.
Homebrew — auto-installed on first launch if missing. Used to install skill dependencies (e.g. Go tools, Python packages).
Node.js 22+ — bundled with the app; no separate install needed.
No terminal commands. No Docker. No config files.
Download the DMG from the button above. Drag Oskar Beta into your Applications folder and open it. macOS will verify the app is notarized by Apple — no security warnings.
On first launch, the setup wizard asks for your Gemini API key. Paste it in and click Continue. Oskar stores it locally in your macOS Keychain — it's never sent anywhere except directly to Google's API.
That's it. Type a message in the chat and Oskar will get to work. Try something like "Find all PDF files in my Downloads folder and summarize them" or "Open GitHub and check my latest notifications". Oskar lives in your menu bar — click the tray icon any time to open the window.
Head to Settings → Observations to point Oskar at directories you want it to watch and index. Enable any of the 50+ skills under Settings → Skills — Oskar will auto-install their dependencies in the background. Connect Telegram, Discord, or Slack under channel settings to let Oskar respond to messages on your behalf.
Oskar checks for updates automatically every 4 hours. You can also check manually from Settings → General → About. When an update is ready, click Install & Restart to apply it instantly.
