Getting Started
DevClaw is the AI that actually does things — a VSCode-based IDE with autonomous agents that code, test, and deploy independently.
What you get
- A native VSCode fork with first-class agent support
- Bring-your-own-model (OpenAI, Anthropic, local LLMs, custom endpoints)
- Open source — read it, fork it, ship it
- macOS download today, Windows + Linux on the roadmap
Quick start
- Download DevClaw for macOS from the download page.
- Install by dragging the app to
/Applications. - Launch DevClaw — it'll create a
.devclaw/config directory in your home folder on first run. - Configure your AI provider in Settings (bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint).
What's next
- Installation details — system requirements, manual install, troubleshooting.
- More guides coming soon (agent setup, custom model endpoints, contribution guide).
Philosophy
DevClaw is built on three ideas:
- AI should ship code, not just suggest it. Agents write, test, and commit. You review.
- Your data is yours. Run local models. Use your own keys. No telemetry you didn't opt into.
- Open beats closed. Source on GitHub, issues public, roadmap visible.
