NanoClaw, a new lightweight alternative to OpenClaw for agent development, has already garnered 10.5K stars on GitHub. Unlike OpenClaw, which focuses on extensive multi-channel support, NanoClaw is designed for simplicity with a much smaller codebase of only 4,000 lines, allowing for easy customization. It runs in secure containers that ensure OS-level isolation and includes features such as WhatsApp connectivity and memory storage in SQLite, all while maintaining chat group separation through individual memory files. Its security model incorporates application controls like allowlists and pairing codes within a shared Node process.
