OpenClaw Menu Bar
⚠️ macOS ONLY - This skill requires macOS. Menu bar apps are not supported on Windows or Linux. Adds a native macOS menu bar app for quick OpenClaw access - click the crab icon 🦀 in your menu bar to get an instant chat popup.
Install & Launch
scripts/install.sh scripts/start.sh The crab icon will appear in your menu bar. Click it to open the chat window.
Stop
scripts/stop.sh
Check Status
scripts/status.sh
What It Does
Menu bar icon: Crab 🦀 icon appears in macOS menu bar Quick popup: Click icon → instant chat window (no browser needed) Keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Shift+O to toggle popup Native feel: Proper macOS vibrancy, stays on top when needed Lightweight: Electron app, ~480x680px popup window
Icon Setup
The menubar app requires two icon files in assets/openclaw-menubar/icons/: icon.png (22x22 pixels, transparent PNG) icon@2x.png (44x44 pixels, transparent PNG)
Option 1: Auto-generate icons
cd assets/openclaw-menubar ./create-icon.sh This creates a simple crab emoji icon.
Option 2: Custom icons
Replace the generated icons with your own 22x22 and 44x44 transparent PNGs. Note: macOS menu bar uses monochrome template mode (auto-colorizes your icon).
Window Size
Edit assets/openclaw-menubar/main.js: browserWindow: { width: 480, // Change width height: 680 // Change height }
Keyboard Shortcut
Edit assets/openclaw-menubar/main.js: globalShortcut.register('CommandOrControl+Shift+O', () => { // Change 'O' to any key });
Architecture
