Platform support overview (Gateway + companion apps)

Deciding where to run the Gateway

Platforms

OpenClaw core is written in TypeScript. Node is the recommended runtime. Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).

Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app) and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Windows and Linux companion apps are planned, but the Gateway is fully supported today. Native companion apps for Windows are also planned; the Gateway is recommended via WSL2.

Gateway service install (CLI)

Use one of these (all supported):

  • Wizard (recommended): openclaw onboard --install-daemon
  • Direct: openclaw gateway install
  • Configure flow: openclaw configure → select Gateway service
  • Repair/migrate: openclaw doctor (offers to install or fix the service)

The service target depends on OS:

  • macOS: LaunchAgent (ai.openclaw.gateway or ai.openclaw.<profile>; legacy com.openclaw.*)
  • Linux/WSL2: systemd user service (openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service)
