IronClaw
Overview
An open-source personal AI assistant focused on privacy, local control, secure tool use, and background automation.
IronClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant inspired by OpenClaw and built in Rust with a strong focus on privacy, security, and local control. Its official repository describes it as a secure assistant that stores data locally, encrypts secrets, avoids telemetry, and protects against prompt injection and data exfiltration through layered defenses. IronClaw supports background routines, heartbeat-based monitoring, parallel jobs, MCP servers, dynamic WASM tool building, Docker sandboxing, and multi-channel access through REPL, HTTP webhooks, Slack, Telegram, and a web gateway. It is designed for users who want a self-hosted assistant that can automate tasks, expand its own capabilities, and retain persistent memory without handing control of data to a third party.
