Routing hints

You should route to this skill when the user asks about OpenClaw behavior on a specific OS — Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean — or per-OS quirks, dev setup, packaging, signing, voice wake, the macOS menu bar, permissions, or platform-specific features. References: android.md, ios.md, macos.md, windows.md, linux.md, raspberry-pi.md, oracle.md, digitalocean.md, dev-setup.md, plus the mac/ subdirectory for macOS-specific deep-dives.

macOS menu bar

The macOS app runs as a menu bar agent. See:

• references/macos.md — macOS overview
• references/mac/ — macOS-specific sub-pages (bundled-gateway, canvas, child-process, dev-setup, health, icon, logging, menu-bar, peekaboo, permissions, signing, skills, voice-overlay, voicewake, webchat, xpc)

Linux server

Best for gateway hosting. Use systemd for daemon management:

systemctl --user enable openclaw
systemctl --user start openclaw
