Summary

Proposal: New openclaw-for-windows repository under openclaw org

Repo name: openclaw-for-windows

Purpose:
A new package to help user "One click to install OpenClaw on Windows, one click to run it securely"

Why it should live under openclaw:

  • Fits OpenClaw ecosystem
  • Not core runtime
  • Clear boundary and scope - Help users seamlessly install OpenClaw on Windows and use it in a convenient and secure way.

Maintenance plan:

  • I and several other members will be the primary maintainer
  • PRs + issues handled by several contributors

Current status:

Problem to solve

For many users, using OpenClaw on Windows is still inconvenient. The installation process is complex, and for users in China in particular, downloads of some OpenClaw dependencies are blocked by the GFW. In addition, users lack an easy‑to‑use security solution that gives them confidence, as well as a native Windows desktop experience that makes OpenClaw convenient to use.
This project aims to address these challenges by enabling one‑click installation of OpenClaw on Windows and providing a native OpenClaw desktop experience that is easy, secure, and user‑friendly.

Proposed solution

We will provide local mirrors for OpenClaw dependency packages, particularly for users in China, and deliver a native Windows desktop experience to ensure ease of use.
