VidClaw

An open-source, self-hosted Kanban for your OpenClaw agent.

Overview

What it is

I run an AI agent on OpenClaw that handles SEO tracking, content writing, code tasks, and more. Managing it through chat alone was getting chaotic. I needed a way to queue tasks visually, see what my agent was doing, track how much I was spending, and tweak its personality without editing files over SSH. VidClaw is that dashboard. It's opinionated, minimal, and built for people who actually run AI agents - not just talk about them. It's 100% self-hosted. Your data never leaves your server.

Intent

I need it when

Customize and version-control an AI agent's personality and operating instructions

The Soul Editor allows users to edit agent persona, identity, and instructions with version history and one-click revert capability. Six starter templates accelerate customization without manual file editing over SSH.

Maintain complete data privacy and avoid vendor lock-in with self-hosted infrastructure

VidClaw is 100% self-hosted with zero cloud dependencies, binds to localhost only, and requires SSH tunnel access. No accounts, analytics, or third-party data collection ensure data stays on the user's server.

Manage AI agent tasks visually without relying on chat-based interfaces

VidClaw provides a Kanban task board with drag-and-drop cards across Backlog, Todo, In Progress, and Done columns. Agents automatically pick up prioritized tasks, enabling visual task queue management and reducing chaos from chat-only workflows.

Enable and disable agent skills dynamically without restarting the agent

The Skills Manager lets users browse, enable, disable, or create custom skills. Changes load automatically on the next session without requiring agent restart, reducing downtime and enabling rapid iteration.

Monitor AI spending and token usage in real-time to control costs

VidClaw includes real-time token usage tracking, cost estimates, and visual progress bars aligned with Anthropic's rate limits. Users see per-model breakdowns and daily/monthly summaries to track spending trends and stay within budget.
