Briefing
The desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux flashes the firmware over a USB data cable, then talks to the board over Bluetooth. The board pairs as a keyboard because its buttons send key presses; on the M5Stack FIRE, for example, they send Space and Shift+Tab. Hooks are optional: the usage meters work without them, and the hooks add Clawd's reactions and the alert when a session needs an answer.
Development and testing happen first on the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-2.16. Boards without PSRAM, such as the ESP32-C6 version, get a smaller animation. The README warns that the project uses Anthropic's proprietary fonts without permission and the copyrighted Clawd mascot, and the author does not put the code under a copyleft license. TechCrunch covered it on 14 May.
