Frequently Asked

Everything you wanted to know (and then some).

Not at all. LobsterLauncher handles all the technical setup. If you can install a Mac app, you can use LobsterLauncher.
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent platform that runs locally on your Mac. It connects to AI models (like Claude, GPT, Gemini) and lets you interact with them through iMessage, Telegram, Discord, and more. LobsterLauncher makes setting it up effortless.
100%. OpenClaw runs entirely on your Mac. Your conversations, files, and API keys never leave your machine. No cloud servers, no telemetry, no tracking.
Any Mac running macOS Ventura (13.0) or later with at least 8GB RAM. Works on both Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel Macs.
Yes. LobsterLauncher helps you set them up, but you'll need an account with at least one AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). We walk you through it step by step.
30-day money-back guarantee. And our clean uninstaller removes everything with one click. No hard feelings.
Each license is for one Mac. Need more? Contact us for team pricing.
