# Platforms

Clawdbot core is written in TypeScript, so the CLI + Gateway run anywhere Node or Bun runs.

Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app) and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Windows and
Linux companion apps are planned, but the Gateway is fully supported today.
Native companion apps for Windows are also planned; the Gateway is recommended via WSL2.

## Common links

- Install guide: [Getting Started](/start/getting-started)
- Gateway runbook: [Gateway](/gateway)
- Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
- Service status: `clawdbot daemon status`

## Gateway service install (CLI)

Use one of these (all supported):

- Wizard (recommended): `clawdbot onboard --install-daemon`
- Direct: `clawdbot daemon install`
- Configure flow: `clawdbot configure` → select **Gateway daemon**
- Repair/migrate: `clawdbot doctor` (offers to install or fix the service)

The service target depends on OS:
- macOS: LaunchAgent (`com.clawdbot.gateway` or `com.clawdbot.<profile>`)
- Linux/WSL2: systemd user service (`clawdbot-gateway[-<profile>].service`)
