What is clawdeck?

ClawDeck is an open-source kanban-style web dashboard for coordinating AI agents, built around agents in the OpenClaw ecosystem. You organize work across multiple boards, hand tasks to your agent, and the agent polls for its assignments, reports progress through the REST API, and everything shows up live in an activity feed powered by Hotwire. Tasks move through inbox, up_next, in_progress, in_review and done statuses and carry none/low/medium/high priorities. Login works with email and password out of the box, with optional GitHub OAuth recommended for production. Under the hood it is a Ruby 3.3.1 / Rails 8.1 application backed by PostgreSQL, using Solid Queue, Solid Cache and Solid Cable. The hosted offering ends May 30, 2026 and the team's ongoing work moved to a successor product (lst.so), yet the repository remains available and your own installations continue to function. To run it you clone the repository, install gems, prepare the database and start bin/dev, then open the app on port 3000.
