openclaw-cli is an AI gateway watchdog daemon for OpenClaw. It monitors your AI assistant gateway process, auto-restarts it on crash, and sends alerts — with zero configuration. Supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Use cases:

• Keep Claude / GPT AI assistant gateway running 24/7 without manual restarts
• Auto-recover from AI gateway crashes caused by memory pressure or network timeouts
• Monitor AI service uptime with a local dashboard or remote monitoring
• Run as a background daemon (launchd-compatible on macOS)

Why Doctor?

OpenClaw runs as a local daemon. When it crashes — network hiccup, system wake, bad update — your AI assistant goes dark. You notice only when you try to use it.

Doctor watches the gateway for you. It detects failures, restarts the service automatically, and notifies you. No config, no babysitting.

Get Started

npm install -g openclaw-cli
openclaw-cli watch -d
