Gateway on macOS

Overview

The OpenClaw macOS application has evolved to work with an external openclaw CLI installation rather than bundling its own runtime. The app manages Gateway operations through launchd services.

Key Requirements

To use local mode, you must have Node 22+ on the Mac, then install openclaw globally via npm. The application provides an Install CLI button that automates this setup.

LaunchAgent Configuration

The system uses launchd to maintain Gateway persistence:

Service Label: bot.molt.gateway (or bot.molt.<profile> for custom profiles)
Configuration Path: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/bot.molt.gateway.plist
Manager: The macOS app handles installation and updates in Local mode; the CLI also supports installation via openclaw gateway install

Operational Behavior

App quit does not stop the gateway (launchd keeps it alive). If a Gateway instance already runs on your configured port, the application attaches to it instead of launching a new process. The "OpenClaw Active" toggle controls LaunchAgent activation.

Logging and Diagnostics

Gateway output appears at /tmp/openclaw/openclaw-gateway.log. Version compatibility between the app and gateway CLI is verified automatically—mismatches require updating the global CLI installation.

Verification Commands

Test your setup using provided smoke-check commands to validate Gateway functionality on port 18999.
