OpenClave
Training and rehab
"Knee ached on the last 3 km of Sunday's run."
Asks where it hurts, cuts next week's runs, adds exercises with a stop rule, and moves the long run in your plan.
Your own team of AI agents.
Each agent has one area of your life: training, the house, the car, money, writing. You talk to them from a browser or your phone. They run on your own computer and keep their notes, plans and chats as plain Markdown files, so they remember what you told them last month and you can read everything they know.
curl -fsSL https://getopenclave.com/install.sh | bash
Ubuntu, Debian or Windows with WSL. Free and open source (AGPL-3.0). What you need
What people use it for
Start from ready-made agents, or describe your own. Each one interviews you for a few minutes to fit itself to you.
Home Assistant
"Warn me if the garage door is open after 22:00."
Writes the automation in your Home Assistant, tests it, and tells you which sensor batteries are running low. Asks before anything risky.
Fixing an old house
"Floor feels soft by the shower."
Tells you what to check first, reads your photos, and walks you through the repair step by step.
Money
"Quote for 8 kW solar: is it worth it?"
Builds a model with every assumption written out and saves it to its files, so you can change a number and ask again.
Writing and notes
"Turn my notes into a short post. Keep my words."
Orders and joins your notes without rewriting them, and marks where they contradict each other. Can write into your Obsidian vault.
A manager for the rest
Once a week, on its own.
Archives old chats, spots agents that overlap, and collects bugs and ideas. You give it its name.
On your phone too
Same agents, same chats. Reach it from anywhere with Tailscale (free), and use voice if you like.
How it works
Runs at home
On your laptop, an old PC or a small home server. No account with us, no cloud of ours. Your data stays on your disk.
Plain files
Every agent is a folder: mission, plan, backlog, files and chats as Markdown. Open them in any editor or Obsidian, back them up like anything else.
Your choice of model
An Anthropic or xAI API key (pay per use, a few dollars a month for light use), or the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for.
Agents that work together
Agents can message each other, share a group chat, run scheduled tasks and remind you. Group them into claves: home, work, hobbies.
Install
Open a terminal and paste:
curl -fsSL https://getopenclave.com/install.sh | bash
Or the same thing with git:
git clone https://github.com/larslyse/openclave.git && cd openclave && ./install.sh
The installer asks a few questions (what to call you, your timezone, which model), then opens
http://localhost:8777. Run it again any time; it keeps your settings and agents.
- You need: Ubuntu or Debian, or Windows with WSL.
- And one of: an Anthropic API key, an xAI key, Claude Pro/Max, or ChatGPT Plus/Pro.
- Early software: it runs every day for its author, but you are among the first to install it. If something fails or confuses you, please report it.
