NanoClaw

Nanoclaw is a lightweight, security-focused personal agent runtime designed as a slimmer alternative to larger “personal assistant” agent stacks, with an emphasis on being easy to audit and safe by default. It runs agent execution inside Apple containers to provide strong isolation boundaries, so individual chats and actions can be sandboxed with tighter filesystem and process separation than a typical single-process bot. The project connects directly to WhatsApp, letting you deploy an assistant that can chat in a familiar interface while still supporting real agent behaviors instead of simple call-and-response prompts. It includes memory so the assistant can retain important context across interactions, enabling more consistent follow-through on ongoing tasks. It also supports scheduled jobs, making it suitable for recurring reminders, periodic automations, and timed workflows without needing an external orchestrator.
