NovaClaw modern UI and no affiliated telemetry bloat

# NovaClaw — your AI agent OS Source: [https://novaclaw.app/](https://novaclaw.app/) v0\.1\.0 · free preview · Windows x64 ## Your AI agent OS\. Local\. Private\. Yours\. NovaClaw turns your own machine and your own models into a friendly AI workspace — an operating system for AI agents that plans, verifies, and repairs itself\. No cloud accounts\. No subscriptions\. Your chats, code, and knowledge never leave home\. Free on itch\.io · unpack anywhere · no installer, no admin rights NovaClaw v0\.1\.0 — home is an app launcher, not a wall of text\. ## ◆What makes it NovaClaw ### 🔒 Private by architecture Your data plane — chats, code, knowledge — never egresses\. Run it on a LAN, run it airgapped: NovaClaw is built to work with the cable unplugged, not just promise it in a policy page\. ### 🏠 Local models first Point it at any OpenAI\-compatible endpoint — vLLM, llama\.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama\. A deterministic harness supplies planning, per\-step verification, and tool\-call tolerance, so small open\-weight models finish jobs usually thrown at frontier APIs\. ### 🧵 An OS, not a chatbot Agent sessions are processes: they spawn sub\-agents, exit with results a parent can join, inherit configuration, and show up in a task manager you can suspend, resume, or kill\. Home is an app launcher, not a wall of text\. ### 🛡 It never breaks in your hands A crashed server restarts itself and the UI reconnects — a calm message, never a stack trace\. Every operational setting is runtime\-editable, so a working agent can repair its own instance\. ### 🌐 Every instance is a node Run headless on the box with the GPU, drive it from the desktop app on your laptop — URL \+ token and you're in\. Instances discover each other on the LAN, and agents can call each other across machines\. ### ✨ For humans, not just hackers Power should be legible and beautiful to a normal person\. NovaClaw teaches as it works — it self\-documents, meets you at your level, and never asks you to learn a terminal to use fire\. ## ◆Why NovaClaw? We respect the open agent tools — but most of them are built by terminal people, for terminal people, with cloud APIs as the default assumption\.
