IonClaw - C++ AI Agents Mobile Desktop

What it does

IonClaw is a native C++ platform for building AI agents that run far beyond the browser or cloud. Create multi-agent workflows once and deploy them across Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, Android, cloud, and embedded systems. With real-time monitoring, built-in skills, MCP client/server integration, multi-LLM support, and native performance, IonClaw gives developers a portable, production-ready runtime for any platform, device, or edge environment.

IonClaw is a C++ AI agent orchestrator that runs natively on servers, desktop, Raspberry Pi, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Android, and connects to WhatsApp and Telegram. It runs fully offline and requires zero external dependencies. A single codebase is compiled for every platform.

IonClaw is a C++ AI agent orchestrator compiled natively for servers, desktop, Raspberry Pi, and mobile. It runs fully offline and requires zero external dependencies. A single C++ codebase compiles to a native build for Linux, macOS, Windows, mobile, and Raspberry Pi. It runs without any runtime, container, or external dependency. It turns your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, or Android device into a true personal AI assistant. Everything runs directly on your device, so it stays private and secure by design. You can run local GGUF models through the built-in llama.cpp engine. There is no cloud and no API key, so your data and conversations never leave the device. Run your agents on…from ionclaw.com

  NanoClaw – “Clawdbot” in 500 lines of TS with Apple container isolationFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲533

  I’ve been running Clawdbot for the last couple weeks and have genuinely found it useful but running it scares the crap out of me. OpenClaw has 52+ modules and runs agents with near-unlimited permissions in a single Node process. NanoClaw is ~500 lines of core code, agents run in actual Apple containers with filesystem isolation. Each chat gets its own sandboxed context. This is not a swiss army knife. It’s built to match my exact needs. Fork it and make it yours.

  Agent-desktop – Native desktop automation CLI for AI agentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲99

  I've been building computer-use tools for a while, and I quietly launched this about a month ago (122 Stars on GH). I figured it was worth sharing here. Over the last few months, a lot of computer-use agents have come out: Codex, Claude Code, CUA, and others. Most of them seem to work roughly like this: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Have the model predict pixel coordinates 3. Click x,y 4. Take another screenshot 5. Repeat That works, but it's slow, expensive in tokens, and fragile. If the UI shifts a few pixels, things break. And the model still doesn't know what any element actually is. But the…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
