Native macOS app. No npm. No terminal. No browser dashboard. Just move it to Applications and you're done.

The problem

OpenClaw is only as reliable as its gateway.

—

The gateway crashes. No warning. Your AI just stops responding mid-task.

—

It leaks memory. Sits at 69% CPU. Technically "running" — effectively frozen.

—

You find out when you message it and nothing comes back.

—

The alternatives are CLIs, browser dashboards, and npm packages. You just want it to work.

You shouldn't have to babysit your AI. That's what ClawSentinel is for.

What it does

01 / Status

Always in view

Green dot means your gateway is healthy. Red means ClawSentinel is already on it.

02 / Recovery

Auto-restart

When the gateway crashes, ClawSentinel detects it within seconds and restarts it — no manual intervention needed.

03 / Detection

Leak & zombie detection

Catches CPU spikes, memory leaks, and zombie processes before they freeze your whole machine.

04 / Limits

Token limit alerts

Know when your session is approaching its token ceiling — before your AI goes quiet mid-task.

05 / Native

Actually native macOS

Not a CLI. Not a browser tab. Not an npm package. A real Mac app — menu bar icon, native notifications, Sparkle auto-updates. No setup required.

Live monitoring

ClawSentinel Status tab — Gateway Healthy

Status

ClawSentinel Diagnostics tab — No issues detected

Diagnostics

ClawSentinel Metrics tab — 6h uptime, 0 recovery attempts

Metrics
