How it works
A body for your agent
The point is presence without noise: glanceable status, tiny emotions, and nothing that turns your desktop into a dashboard.
- OpenClaw worksYour agent runs on this machine or another one, like it already does.
- The daemon watchesA small sidecar reads the session log as it is written. No model calls, so zero tokens.
- The runtime decidesA local runtime owns the current state and pairing, behind a bearer token.
- Your pal reactsA transparent Tauri overlay on your desktop shows the mood and a short status bubble.
Cross-machine setups are Tailscale-first, so OpenClaw can run on a server while your pal lives on the laptop you look at.
Quest journal
- I gave my OpenClaw agent a pixel-art body that lives on the desktop.
- I built a Tauri app, a local runtime, and a daemon that mirrors agent activity without spending model tokens.
- I designed three companions and a pipeline that generates more, with QA to keep each animation coherent.
- I shipped installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- A much bigger guild launched desktop pets of its own.
- Paused at v0.6. The code is open source.
