A lightweight, open-source OpenClaw version built into your Claude Code.
ClaudeClaw turns your Claude Code into a personal assistant that never sleeps. It runs as a background daemon, executing tasks on a schedule, responding to messages on Telegram and Discord, transcribing voice commands, and integrating with any service you need.
Note: Please don't use ClaudeClaw for hacking any bank system or doing any illegal activities. Thank you.

Features
Automation
- Heartbeat: Periodic check-ins with configurable intervals, quiet hours, and editable prompts.
- Cron Jobs: Timezone-aware schedules for repeating or one-time tasks with reliable execution.
Communication
- Telegram: Text, image, and voice support.
- Discord: DMs, server mentions/replies, slash commands, voice messages, and image attachments.
- Time Awareness: Message time prefixes help the agent understand delays and daily patterns.
Multi-Session Threads (Discord)
- Independent Thread Sessions: Each Discord thread gets its own Claude CLI session, fully isolated from the main channel.
- Parallel Processing: Thread conversations run concurrently — messages in different threads don't block each other.
- Auto-Create: First message in a new thread automatically bootstraps a fresh session. No setup needed.
- Session Cleanup: Thread sessions are automatically cleaned up when threads are deleted or archived.
- Backward Compatible: DMs and main channel messages continue using the global session.
See docs/MULTI_SESSION.md for technical details.

- GLM Fallback: Automatically continue with GLM models if your primary limit is reached.
- Web Dashboard: Manage jobs, monitor runs, and inspect logs in real time.
