Clawdi is a fully managed cloud platform for running AI agents like OpenClaw, Hermes, and Claude Code without any local configuration. Each user gets a sandboxed cloud VM with persistent memory, a browser, file editing, and terminal access — all running inside Phala's confidential compute infrastructure (TEE) for privacy and isolation. The platform decouples agent memory, API keys, skills, and app integrations from the underlying engine, so you can switch frameworks without losing your entire setup. It ships with OAuth integrations for Gmail and Slack, built-in cron job scheduling, browser automation, and long-term memory. Getting started takes roughly three minutes — no terminal, no YAML, no Docker. Built by Marvin Tong, Maggie Liu, and Xiaolu, Clawdi directly solves the agentic developer's most painful friction: rebuilding your setup from scratch every time you try a new agent framework. At $29/month flat, it targets individuals and small teams who want always-on cloud agents without managing infrastructure.

ClawTab is a macOS desktop app that turns managing multiple AI coding agents from a terminal circus into an organized workflow. Built by indie developer Tõnis Tiganik, it provides a proper GUI for running Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode in parallel — with a sidebar showing per-agent status, pane splitting, auto-yes passthrough, and the ability to trigger agent restarts from your phone. The core problem it solves: once you start running more than 3-4 coding agents simultaneously, tmux panes become unreadable and you start losing context on which agent is doing what. ClawTab gives each agent a labeled tab with status indicators, scrollable history, and the ability to quickly switch contexts without losing your place. It's the kind of tool that only makes sense in a world where shipping a feature means spinning up 10 agents on 10 tasks at once — and that world is arriving fast. Version 1.0 launched on Product Hunt today and is already getting traction from the vibe-coding crowd.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is the 'it just works' solution I've been wanting for months. Spinning up a persistent OpenClaw instance in the cloud without touching config files is genuinely liberating — and the Phala TEE backing means my API keys aren't just floating in someone's S3 bucket.”
“I've been managing 8 Claude Code sessions in tmux and it's chaos. ClawTab's labeled panes with per-agent status finally makes parallel agent work legible. The auto-yes mode alone saves me from interruption fatigue on long agent runs.”
“At $29/month you're paying for a single managed agent VM, which is expensive compared to just renting a small VPS and running it yourself. The lock-in to their specific supported frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code) will bite you the moment you want something they don't support yet.”
“This is a thin UI wrapper around tools that already have terminal UIs. If you're good with tmux you don't need this, and if you're not good with tmux, maybe you shouldn't be running 20 agents simultaneously. The 'manage from phone' feature sounds appealing until an agent breaks something at 2am.”
“Clawdi is a prototype of what 'personal AI infrastructure' looks like when it matures. Persistent memory + always-on agents + confidential compute is a legitimate architectural unlock — the TEE angle alone makes this interesting for privacy-sensitive enterprise use cases.”
“The tooling layer around multi-agent workflows is the sleeper market of 2026. ClawTab is early but it points at the future: a developer's 'mission control' for a fleet of agents. Whoever builds the definitive version of this wins a huge surface area.”
“For non-technical creators who want an agent that remembers context, stays online, and connects to Gmail and Slack without requiring a DevOps background, this hits a real gap. The three-minute setup promise is the key feature for this audience.”
“I use Claude Code for everything from writing to coding and having all my sessions visible in one place with clear labels is genuinely useful. The macOS-native design feels polished compared to typical OSS dev tools.”
