Author here. Now renamed to UnixClaw. We wrote small C CLI tools that bridge Unix pipes to native macOS apps — Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, iMessage, email. Combined with toast (our LLM CLI), the whole assistant is one line:
imessage bot 'toast "You are the executive assistant"'
No daemon, no plugin registry, no Python. Config is three text files: .persona, .tools, .crumbs. Toast works with BYOK (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cerebras, etc.) or locally via toasted on Apple Silicon at ~100 tok/s.
The NemoClaw announcement (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47427027) has great discussion about whether more layers fix OpenClaw's security problems. Our take: security comes from having so little code you can read all of it in an afternoon.
Happy to answer questions about the architecture.
