Knapsack OpenClaw App
A safe & simple OpenClaw / Moltbot / Clawdbot app for Mac
What it does
Knapsack is an open-source desktop client for OpenClaw / Clawdbot / Moltbot — the AI agent that controls your browser and acts on your behalf. Giving AI that power is dangerous without guardrails. Knapsack adds them: sensitive path blocking (SSH, credentials,env), prompt injection defense, tool loop limits, mandatory confirmation before sending messages or spending money, and sandboxed scripting. Also bundles a private notetaker, email autopilot, and multi-LLM support. Local/open source.

- NCNanoClaw – “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.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
