What is OpenClaw Swarm?

OpenClaw Swarm is a command center for all your OpenClaw Gateway deployments — a single pane of glass for monitoring sessions, streaming logs, and managing security across your AI agent infrastructure.

Think Portainer, but for AI agent swarms.

Vision

We're building OpenClaw Swarm in two phases:

1. Desktop app (now) — A native Electron app for macOS. Building on the desktop first gives us the fastest iteration loop, access to system-level APIs (safeStorage, native menus, vibrancy), and a tight feedback cycle with early adopters.

2. Self-hostable web dashboard (next) — The same monitoring and management UI, packaged as a standalone web application you deploy alongside your gateways. No desktop install required — accessible from any browser, any OS, with team-level auth and persistent storage.

The desktop app isn't a throwaway prototype. The frontend is a standard React/TypeScript SPA — the same code that will power the web dashboard. Electron is the shell we iterate in today; the web is where we ship for production teams tomorrow.

What it does

OpenClaw Swarm connects to one or more OpenClaw Gateway instances over WebSocket, giving you a unified view of everything happening across your AI agent infrastructure — without SSH, without switching between dashboards, without scripts.

Key features

• Multi-gateway management — connect to any number of gateway instances and switch between them instantly
• Live session monitoring — see every active agent session, token usage, and cost breakdown in real time
• Streaming logs — tail log output from any gateway with powerful filtering, right from the app
• Usage & cost charts — token usage and cost trends over time
• Security configuration — push rate limits, allowed models, and access controls across your swarm
• Swarm-wide search — Cmd+K command palette to jump between gateways, sessions, and actions
• Presence view — see which agents are connected and active right now

Current requirements

• macOS — the desktop app currently targets macOS with vibrancy and a hidden titlebar (Windows and Linux support is planned)
• At least one running OpenClaw Gateway instance to connect to
