clawd
A personal AI assistant that runs as a single always-on Swift daemon on your own machine, pairing a private Telegram bot with a chosen LLM to remember facts, run scheduled and proactive tasks, and execute approved tools.
clawd is a personal AI assistant packaged as one pure-Swift daemon that runs on hardware you own and talks to you through a private Telegram bot. It stores its state -- a SQLite database, encrypted secrets, and Markdown files -- in one directory you can edit by hand, and durable facts persist and are recalled by importance and recency.
Scheduled and proactive tasks fire on a cron-like schedule across restarts and time changes, and an opt-in heartbeat respects quiet hours. Consequential tool calls, such as writes or code execution, wait for explicit approval in Telegram, and a policy engine treats inbound content as untrusted data. Users can write reusable skills as SKILL.md files, and connect additional MCP servers whose tools join the built-ins at the lowest trust tier.
It works with any OpenAI-compatible model endpoint, including a ChatGPT subscription login, and can optionally delegate approved coding tasks to a local Codex installation, returning a result card and opening GitHub pull requests with the user's own repository access.
