5. Edit YAML config file
6. Set up API keys manually
7. Configure messaging channels
8. Create launchd plists

⚠️

Windows Users — Read Before Purchasing

LobsterLauncher uses PowerShell to install and configure OpenClaw on your system. During installation, PowerShell windows will briefly open and close, and Windows SmartScreen may warn about an "unrecognized app" — just click "More info" → "Run anyway." This is normal for new software from independent publishers. If you're not comfortable bypassing these warnings, this app may not be right for you.

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 computer. 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 computer. Your conversations, files, and API keys never leave your machine. No cloud servers, no telemetry, no tracking.

Mac: macOS Ventura (13.0) or later, 8GB+ RAM. Apple Silicon & Intel supported.
Windows: Windows 10 or later, 8GB+ RAM, 64-bit. Node.js will be installed if not present.

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 computer (Mac or Windows). Need more? Contact us for team pricing.
