I don't know, just so it seems like they gave it a proper look when they did not? Btw a vps is another choice even more obvious.

As others have pointed out the problem with a VPS is that it doesn't run macOS, which means it can't integrate with a bunch of popular OpenClaw tools like AppleScript and iMessage.

You can rent Mac machines in the cloud but they're expensive. Buying a Mac mini isn't a bad option.

  • why do you even need MacOS? Again OpenClaw works in linux and any other option of messaging is better than iMessage. As for AppleScript, if the intention is computer use. I have never seen it done to any useful result, OpenClaw or not. What will realistically be useful is driving the browser (web apps), and you don't need MacOS for it.

    • Because your stuff lives in the Apple ecosystem - Apple Notes, iMessage etc - and you want your claw to be able to access it.

      Personally I think that's a terrible idea because of the lethal trifecta risk but it's what a lot of people want to do.
