The Plow Alpha Community
A commuity of indie hackers running agents on their Macs
Plow is OpenClaw, packaged for humans β an agent that runs on your Mac and lives in your iMessage. π Runs 100% local. No cloud, no Docker, no VM. Your inbox, calendar, and files never leave the machine you already trust. π Sandboxed and leashed. You can easily audit what actions OpenClaw is taking.
honestly the local-only approach is such a smart call here, especially wrapping it into imessage where people already are. feels less like "install another app" and more like just... having a helpful friend in your messages. really clean execution.
Love that it lives entirely on my Mac and just chats through iMessage, feels like the future right now. One thing I'd love to see is a quick toggle to temporarily pause the agent when I'm screen sharing or in meetings, so I know it isn't quietly acting while someone else is watching.
The local-first angle is genuinely refreshing, especially living right in iMessage where it feels natural. One thing I'd love to see is a simple "share my agent" toggle where a trusted friend can ping my Plow through their own iMessage to grab something like a calendar slot or file, with me approving each interaction. It would turn a personal tool into something collaborative without breaking the privacy promise.
Runs straight on my Mac without any docker setup, which honestly surprised me for something this capable. The iMessage interface makes it feel way less intimidating than the usual agent tools.
