Maxclaw

Maxclaw is a free, open source AI office assistant that runs locally as a desktop application on macOS and Windows. The site is in Chinese and describes it as an assistant that is available around the clock and keeps data on the user's own machine, so code, documents and data are not sent to a cloud service, and local work is possible without an internet connection. The app offers a modern chat interface with streaming responses, light and dark themes and the ability to interrupt a reply. Its listed features include multi step browser automation that can log in, click, fill forms and take screenshots, reusing the user's existing Chrome login state. It has an integrated terminal using the same components as the VS Code terminal, so commands run with visible output, and a built in preview pane for PDF, Word, Excel, image and code files. A scheduler supports cron, interval and one time tasks with visual editing and execution history, while a memory system keeps long term facts and conversation summaries across sessions. A skills system loads domain knowledge with an at mention. Users can also talk to the assistant through Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, email, Feishu and QQ. Setup is three steps: download the installer for Apple Silicon Mac or Windows 10 and 11 on x64, run an onboard command to configure the AI model and preferences, then start working from the command line or a connected channel. The audience is individual professionals who want a private, self managed assistant. The source is available on GitHub. The site states that the software is completely free, and no paid plans are published.
