Why Local-First and MIT Matter
Understand the 'your hardware, your rules' philosophy: open-source code, full local system access, and no SaaS dependency.
The Big Idea
OpenClaw is local-first. Everything runs on your own hardware instead of someone else's cloud servers.
Your Hardware, Your Rules
The guiding phrase is simple: your hardware, your rules. You decide what the assistant can touch and how it runs.
