Open the downloaded .dmg and drag ClawMuse into Applications.
Open ClawMuse from Applications. macOS asks once whether to open an app downloaded from the internet — click Open.
ClawMuse for Mac is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
Or install from Terminal
Paste this into Terminal. It fetches the right version for your Mac from GitHub, checks its checksum, installs ClawMuse in Applications and opens it. Run it again any time to update.
curl -fsSL https://clawmuse.app/install.sh | sh
Your computer
Windows
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Installs for your user only — no administrator password needed. Most PCs are x64; choose ARM for Snapdragon laptops.
If Microsoft Defender SmartScreen says it protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.
ClawMuse installs and opens by itself, with shortcuts on the desktop and in the Start menu.
That's the only time. Later launches don't ask again.
What happens on first launch
ClawMuse sets up its assistant on your computer the first time it opens — from a copy inside the installer, so nothing large is downloaded: seconds on a recent Mac, a few minutes on a slower PC, with progress shown as it goes. Then it looks for a model you already have (a Claude Code sign-in, an API key, or Ollama or LM Studio running locally) and offers it with one button. If it finds nothing, it walks you through adding one. After that it asks what you're working toward.
Why does my computer ask me to confirm?
On a Mac, ClawMuse is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS only asks the question it asks for every app downloaded from the internet. The Windows installer isn't signed with a Microsoft code-signing certificate yet, so SmartScreen can't vouch for the publisher and asks you to confirm once — the steps above are the standard way to run an app from outside the Microsoft Store. To check that the file you have is exactly the one published here, compare its checksum below.
Verify your download
SHA-256 checksums for version 1.0.1 (also available as a plain-text file):
In Terminal: shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/ClawMuse-1.0.1-arm64.dmg
On Windows
In PowerShell: Get-FileHash $HOME\Downloads\ClawMuse-Setup-1.0.1-x64.exe
The long string it prints should match the one above, character for character.
Removing ClawMuse
Open Settings → Data controls → Remove ClawMuse. It stops the assistant, deletes everything it stored and removes the app. On Windows, uninstalling from Settings → Apps removes the program but keeps your chats and settings in case you reinstall; use Remove ClawMuse to delete those too.
