iClaw Local is a lightning-fast, fully-local, native macOS AI agent. Built explicitly for macOS 26+ utilizing Swift 6.2 Strict Concurrency, it leverages Apple's on-device Foundation Models and Neural Engine to provide a private, highly capable assistant that lives completely on your machine.
- Liquid Glass UI: A gorgeous, unobtrusive floating HUD that utilizes SwiftUI's
.ultraThinMaterialand dynamic mesh gradients, living quietly in your Menu Bar. - 100% Local & Private: No cloud processing. Everything from Speech-to-Text inference to LLM generation runs locally on Apple Silicon.
- Auto-Compacting Memory: Utilizes GRDB and
sqlite-vecto maintain a massive local memory bank, seamlessly auto-compacting and summarizing past context so it never exceeds the model's 4K token limit. - Lightning Fast Vector Search: Bundles a lightweight, dedicated CoreML embedding model to instantly query past memories and context without taxing the main LLM.
- Progressive Permissions: Uses
PermissionsKitto only ask for what it needs, when it needs it. The agent natively understands when it is denied access and adapts. - Proactive Heartbeat: The agent periodically wakes up in the background to review your current context, read its memory, and take proactive actions on your behalf.
- Secure Extensibility: Drag-and-drop support for
AgentSkills.ioMarkdown files to instantly teach your agent new capabilities (safely sandboxed to HTTPFetchoperations).
