OpenShears – I built an uninstaller because OpenClaw refuses to die

What it does

🔪 THE OPENCLAW TERMINATOR 🦞. Contribute to oswarld/openshears development by creating an account on GitHub.

Inspect and remove local OpenClaw installations on macOS and Linux/WSL with a working user service manager . OpenShears works independently of the OpenClaw CLI, including when that CLI is already missing or cannot start. Compatibility is based on the official OpenClaw v2026.9.3 release and its uninstall instructions . OpenClaw currently uses date-based release versions; this project does not assume a 2.0 package version. Requires Node.js 20 or newer to run the CLI. Preview commands never stop services, signal processes, uninstall packages or delete files: npx openshears --dry-run npx openshears --json --json emits a JSON plan without banners or progress output and always implies a dry run,…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, I've been using OpenClaw for a few months as my local LLM gateway. It was genuinely fun — the convenience of routing multiple models through a single endpoint is hard to beat. But along the way, I stumbled upon a few surprises that made me uncomfortable: - Config files scattered in unexpected places…

  Hi HN, I’ve been following the OpenClaw project and noticed frictions for non-expert users: most discussions and docs are too nerdy... Installing OpenClaw costs lots of brain cells. Uninstalling costs even more! Besides, security/privacy risks exist for non-technical users. So I built ClawSimple, a tool that make deploy and run your own OpenClaw-based assistant easier. With ClawSimple you can: - Spin up one or multiple OpenClaw robots in a few minutes; - Focus on using the assistant instead of wrestling with deployment details. For people who don’t want to pay for a managed service, I…

  Zeroclawed: Secure Agent GatewayApr 2026 · github.com · ▲8

  I’ve been cautiously (and nervously) playing with openclaw and a number of other claw and code agents for a while now, but trying out different ones was tricky so I wanted a simple way to switch out channel ownership… then I wanted more. Security is hard, and I wanted to make it easier. This is FAR from polished, and no claims that I’m a “security expert” but I tried to think and research a bit on different threat models (I think of 2 broad ones for agents, external adversaries and internal agentic failures) and try and offer best in class protection on both, while also not having any…

  AgentPort – Open-source Security Gateway For AgentsApr 2026 · agentport.sh · ▲8

  Hey HN! I've been wanting to use something like OpenClaw for a while but couldn't get myself to give it access to anything important due to all the risks involved. Prompt injection is still a problem (even though some people seem to ignore it) and so are hallucinations and mishaps that cause agents to do things like delete production data [1]. Even harnesses like Claude Code and Codex are subject to this, particularly since we're getting progressively looser about how we run them e.g. Conductor is really popular and runs agents without any sandboxing. That means we're in a bit of an…

  I built managed OpenClaw hosting with 60s provisioning in 6 daysFeb 2026 · clawhosters.com · ▲9

  Hey HN, I'm Daniel, solo dev from Germany. I built ClawHosters (https://clawhosters.com), a managed hosting platform for OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework. Quick timeline: domain registered February 5th. First paying customer six days later. I probably should have spent more time on it, but it works. If you haven't seen OpenClaw, it lets you run a personal AI assistant that connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. Self-hosting it is absolutely possible, but it's a pain. You're dealing with Docker setup, SSL certs, port forwarding, security hardening, keeping…

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
