## Quick Start
Choose an `ironclaw-v*` tag from the [Releases page](https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/),
then install it on macOS, Linux, or Windows/WSL. Replace `X.Y.Z` with the
selected version, including any prerelease suffix:
```bash
IRONCLAW_RELEASE_TAG=ironclaw-vX.Y.Z
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
"https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/download/${IRONCLAW_RELEASE_TAG}/ironclaw-installer.sh" | sh
```
Then run the guided setup:
```bash
ironclaw onboard
```
Choose an LLM provider, enter its API key in the hidden prompt, and accept the
default model or enter another one. IronClaw provisions its local configuration,
encrypted credential store, and WebUI login token. On macOS and Linux it also
installs and starts the background service, then prints a link that opens the
WebUI.
Use `ironclaw status` to check the service and print the login link again.
Windows users can start the WebUI in the foreground with `ironclaw serve`.
See [Installation](#installation) for Windows installers and source builds.
## Philosophy
IronClaw is built on a simple principle: **your AI assistant should work for you, not against you**.
In a world where AI systems are increasingly opaque about data handling and aligned with corporate interests, IronClaw takes a different approach:
- **Your data stays yours** - All information is stored locally, encrypted, and never leaves your control
- **Transparency by design** - Open source, auditable, no hidden telemetry or data harvesting
- **Self-expanding capabilities** - Build new tools on the fly without waiting for vendor updates
- **Defense in depth** - Multiple security layers protect against prompt injection and data exfiltration
IronClaw is the AI assistant you can actually trust with your personal and professional life.
## Features
### Security First
- **WASM Sandbox** - Untrusted tools run in isolated WebAssembly containers with capability-based permissions
- **Credential Protection** - Secrets are never exposed to tools; injected at the host boundary with leak detection
- **Prompt Injection Defense** - Pattern detection, content sanitization, and policy enforcement
- **Endpoint Allowlisting** - HTTP requests only to explicitly approved hosts and paths
### Always Available
- **Multi-channel** - REPL, HTTP webhooks, WASM channels (Telegram, Slack), and web gateway
- **Docker Sandbox** - Isolated container execution with per-job tokens and orchestrator/worker pattern
- **Web Gateway** - Browser UI with real-time SSE/WebSocket streaming
- **Routines** - Cron schedules, eveExcerpt of 13,055 characters
