OkaiDokai, tool-level firewall for OpenClaw, Claude Code and Codex
Hey HN, Sascha here, developer of OkaiDokai. Like many others, I fell in love with OpenClaw, but was longing for more control over what it can do without interrupting its autonomous, agentic nature. OkaiDokai solves this for me by allowing me to set up my own rule set of what is allowed by default, what is not, and what it should ask permission for. It comes with a hosted API, web and native apps including push notifications (with quick-response support), plugins for OpenClaw and Claude Code, and soon Codex.

In plain words
OkaiDokai is a firewall tool for AI code agents like OpenClaw and Claude Code that lets developers set custom rules for what actions are allowed, blocked, or require permission before execution. It includes a hosted API, web and native apps with push notifications for approval requests, and plugins for multiple platforms. The tool maintains the autonomous nature of AI agents while giving users granular control over their behavior.

Hey HN, Sascha here, developer of OkaiDokai. Like many others, I fell in love with OpenClaw, but was longing for more control over what it can do without interrupting its autonomous, agentic nature. OkaiDokai solves this for me by allowing me to set up my own rule set of what is allowed by default, what is not, and what it should ask permission for. It comes with a hosted API, web and native apps including push notifications (with quick-response support), plugins for OpenClaw and Claude Code, and soon Codex. I'm still working on getting the apps onto the App Store (currently on TestFlight and Android beta channels), as well as giving the rule engine and UI a bit more love. It should be good enough for a quick test if anyone dares to try it! I just created a new Discord server (https://discord.gg/M25cCwJ5x7), so please say "hello" if you’d like to give it a go and provide me with any feedback you have. I'm adding new features and improvements pretty much around the clock right now. I'm also planning to release the source code under the Sustainable Use License soon, as I think it's important to get more eyes on it and allow others to contribute should they want to. Thanks for reading :)
