Clawd lives on your desktop and reacts to what your AI coding agent is doing — in real time. Start a long task, walk away, come back when the crab tells you it's done.
Thinking when you prompt, typing when tools run, grooving or juggling for subagents, reviewing permissions, celebrating when tasks complete, sleeping when you step away. Ships with three built-in themes: Clawd (pixel crab), Calico (三花猫), and Cloudling (云宝), with full support for custom themes and imported Codex Pet animation packs. Optional official themes, Hash Sage (哈希仙人) and Whale-chan (鲸鱼娘), can be downloaded from Settings → Theme.
Supports Windows 11, macOS, and Ubuntu/Linux. Windows releases provide separate x64 and ARM64 installers. Source builds require Node.js. Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI (agy), Cursor Agent, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Grok Build, Kiro CLI, KiroCrew, Kimi Code CLI (Kimi-CLI), Qwen Code, ZCode, CodeWhale, opencode, MiMo Code, Pi, OMP, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Qoder, QoderWork, QwenWork (千问办公), Reasonix CLI, DeepSeek Harness, TraeCode (Trae CN), and MiniMax Code.
Features
Multi-Agent Support
- Claude Code — full integration via command hooks + HTTP permission hooks
- Codex CLI — official hooks with JSONL fallback (
~/.codex/sessions/), auto-synced by default with real permission bubbles - Copilot CLI — optional command hooks via
~/.copilot/hooks/hooks.json(install from Settings → AI Coding Tools; see the Copilot guide for manual JSON fallback) - Gemini CLI — optional command hooks via
~/.gemini/settings.json(install from Settings → AI Coding Tools or runnpm run install:gemini-hooks) - Antigravity CLI (agy) — optional command hooks via
~/.gemini/config/hooks.json(install from Settings → AI Coding Tools or runnpm run install:antigravity-hooks); state-only: Clawd never pops a permission bubble for agy. Every Allow / Deny / Always-allow choice happens in agy's own terminal menu - Cursor Agent — optional Cursor IDE hooks in
~/.cursor/hooks.json(install from Settings → AI Coding Tools or runnpm run install:cursor-hooks) - CodeBuddy — optional Claude Code-compatible command hooks + HTTP permission hooks via
~/.codebuddy/settings.json(install from Settings → AI Coding Tools or runnode hooks/codebuddy-install.js) - Custom HTTP agents — register another local executable in Settings and POST lifecycle events to Clawd's dynamic
/stateendpoint. Registration does not install hooks or make an arbitrary application report automatically; v1 is state-only and leaves permission decisions in the application's own UI. See the custom HTTP agent guide. - WorkBuddy — optional Claude Code-compatible command hooks via
~/.workbuddy-ai/settings.json(current) or~/.workbuddy/settings.json(legacy; install from Settings → AI Coding Tools or runnode hooks/workbuddy-install.js). State + Notification only: the desktop app resolves permissions in its own native sandbox and GUI, so Clawd does not register a permission hook for it. - Grok Build — optional Claude Code-compa
