What is NanoClaw?

NanoClaw is a Claude assistant software that operates securely within containers. It is lightweight, easy to understand, and customizable. Unlike OpenClaw, which has a complicated structure with over 52 modules, 8 configuration files, and 45 dependencies, NanoClaw focuses on simplicity and security. It operates as a single process with a few files, running in Linux containers with filesystem isolation. NanoClaw supports features like WhatsApp I/O, isolated group context, scheduled tasks, web access for content search and fetch, and container isolation. It also allows optional integrations such as adding Gmail and more via skills.
