vibeclaw
The fastest way to try OpenClaw — boot a sandbox agent in your browser, or connect to your live gateway. No server required.
What is vibeclaw?
vibeclaw.dev is an open-source OpenClaw dashboard and sandbox platform. It runs entirely in the browser, powered by almostnode — a browser-native Node.js runtime.
Two Modes
| 📦 Sandbox | 🔴 Live Gateway | |
|---|---|---|
| Requires | Nothing — free model included | Gateway token + URL |
| Install | None — runs in browser | Running OpenClaw instance |
| Data | Ephemeral (in-memory VFS) | Real sessions, files, history |
| Chat | Via OpenRouter (server-proxied) | Through gateway (streaming) |
| Dashboard | Terminal + chat | Full 3-column dashboard |
| Best for | Trying OpenClaw instantly | Monitoring your real agent |
Sandbox Mode
Hit Start Now on the homepage. vibeclaw will:
- Load the OpenClaw runtime (~23MB VFS snapshot)
- Spin up a browser-native container via almostnode
- Install the agent workspace (67 files)
- Connect to a free LLM via OpenRouter
No API key needed. The server proxies requests to OpenRouter using a server-side key, locked to free models only.
Live Gateway Mode
Connect to your running OpenClaw instance via the Gateway Dashboard. Enter your gateway token and URL to see:
- Sessions, agents, and conversation history
- Workspace files and directory trees
- Skills, cron jobs, and config
- Usage metrics and cost tracking
- Real-time streaming chat
- Presence and log monitoring
The dashboard connects via WebSocket using Ed25519 authentication. No API keys are exposed — just your gateway token.
Architecture
vibeclaw is a static site built with Vite. Under the hood:
- almostnode — Browser-native Node.js runtime with VirtualFS, 40+ shimmed modules, npm package support, and container management
- OpenClaw — AI coding agent framework with gateway, sessions, skills, cron, and multi-agent support
- OpenRouter — LLM API gateway for free model access (sandbox mode)
- Ed25519 auth — Pure JS crypto via
@noble/ed25519for gateway connections from any origin
