🦞 Clawhive — Privacy-First Personal AI Assistant

Your AI. Your Data. Your Control. 🦞

Clawhive is a privacy-first personal AI assistant powered by the OpenClaw SDK. It runs as a native macOS app (.dmg), bringing OpenClaw's full multi-channel AI assistant capabilities — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, and 20+ more — with enterprise-grade security controls baked in.

Built on OpenClaw's plugin architecture, Clawhive ships with a hardened security layer: financial crime detection, IP exposure protection, tool access controls, and real-time security alerting. Your API keys, conversation history, and data stay on your infrastructure.

Privacy & Security (Clawhive)

• Financial Crime Detection — Built-in signals for gambling, money laundering, and suspicious financial tool usage. Blocks crypto_transfer, payment_process, bank_transfer, and gift_card tools at all security levels
• IP Exposure Protection — Detects and blocks IP lookup commands, network scanning tools, and VPN detection attempts. Protects your network identity from being leaked
• Tool Access Controls — Configurable global toolBlacklist and toolWhitelist with IPC-based management. Fine-grained control over what tools the assistant can invoke
• Security Alert System — Real-time alerts for credential access attempts, financial crime, and IP exposure events. Renderer receives alerts via secure IPC
• Privacy Guard — Multi-layered signal detection with configurable blocking policies across all security levels

OpenClaw SDK

Clawhive is built natively on the OpenClaw Plugin SDK — the same SDK powering OpenClaw itself. This means:

• Full plugin compatibility with the OpenClaw ecosystem
• Native support for Codex/Claude/Cursor-compatible plugin bundles
• Enterprise integration via webhooks, OAuth, and CLI-first automation
• Extensible channel, provider, tool, and skill system
• Channel plugin SDK, skill SDK, and runtime API all fully supported
