Observable · Blockable · Explainable

ClawHeart Desktop is a local-first AI security gateway. Three monitoring tiers × 8-layer in-depth defense, with credentials stored 100 % on your machine.

80 security audits
Credentials in OS Keychain
Zero cloud dependency
Core Capabilities

Wire security straight into the Agent flow

Six tool pages cover runtime audit, skill governance, Agent takeover and credential vaulting. All data stays on your machine.

Real-time Monitoring

Request stream, intercept events, token usage and budget alerts in one view. Everything persists to local SQLite.

80 Security Audits

File permissions, credential leaks, MCP config, Agent behavior, skill supply chain — 8 categories scanned offline, no LLM required.

Skill Backup & Audit

Wildcard-scan ~/.<agent>/skills/, run SkillGuard rule set to score, one-click zip backup with history.

Auto Agent Discovery

Native support for Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Continue / OpenClaw and 8+ agents. Hermes / Gemini / OpenEva / OpenCode caught by wildcard.

Central Credential Vault

API keys live 100 % in OS Keychain. Agents only see sk-claw-xxx virtual keys; the real one is resolved at runtime.

One-click Agent Override

A 4-step wizard — scan → dry-run → apply — flips every Agent's base_url to ClawHeart. Atomic rollback supported.

Three Monitoring Tiers

Coverage you can scale, switchable per scenario

Not a one-size-fits-all model. From zero-touch app layer to kernel-grade isolation, any tier can be combined or used alone.

tier1 · Default
App layer · Zero-touch

Endpoint Mapping

A local reverse proxy listens on 127.0.0.1:19112. Point OPENAI_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL at it — no CA cert, no system config.

  • 5 mainstream protocols normalized
  • Per-tool granularity
  • Agent one-click override wizard

tier2
OS-level · TLS termination

System Proxy

hudsucker MITM + self-signed CA (rcgen) covers every process that honors the system proxy. CA auto-install for macOS / Linux / Windows.

  • Audit all system HTTPS egress
  • Cert auto-written to trust store
  • Single switch replaces per-tool config
Index #2

Kernel-level · 100 % coverage

Sandbox Isolation

`clawheart sandbox -- <command>` wraps the target process and constrains its network egress via OS sandbox primitives. TLS pinning can't escape.

  • macOS sandbox-exec
  • Linux Landlock + seccomp
  • Windows AppContainer (v2.1)

Why ClawHeart

Trust grounded in code you can read

Not "trust us" — open-source code, local-first architecture, and fail-closed defaults you can verify.

Local-first · Zero cloud

Intercept events, scan history, token usage — every byte stays in local SQLite. No login, no internet.

Credential Safety

API keys live 100 % in the OS keychain (macOS Security Framework / Linux gnome-keyring / Windows Credential Manager). DB and logs only see masked values.

Tauri 2 Native

Rust core + WebView frontend. Binary < 30 MB, startup < 200 ms, memory < 100 MB. No Electron baggage.

Open Source · Auditable

Apache 2.0. Rust backend + React frontend fully open. Every security rule is viewable, customizable and disable-able in Settings → Security Rules.
