TrustClaw is a monitoring and security tool that helps you keep track of AI agent activity on your devices. It provides real-time event streaming, action risk classification, and audit logging — giving you visibility into what AI agents like OpenClaw are doing on your machine.
This guide walks you through setting up TrustClaw as a consumer user.
If your organization already uses Swif for device management (MDM), you can enable TrustClaw directly from your existing Swif workspace — no separate sign-up required. Learn more at Getting Started with TrustClaw for Enterprise (Swif Organizations).
What You'll Need
A computer running macOS (Windows and Linux support coming soon)
An internet connection
About 5 minutes
Step 1: Create Your Account
To get started, sign up for a TrustClaw account at the dedicated registration page.
During sign-up, you'll be asked a few onboarding questions to help personalize your experience — things like your name and how you plan to use TrustClaw. Fill in all the required fields and click Continue to proceed.
Step 2: Install the TrustClaw Agent
After completing the onboarding questions, you'll be prompted to install the TrustClaw agent on your device.
Select your installer — Choose the appropriate installer for your operating system from the dropdown menu.
Download the installer — Click Download Installer to begin the download. The button is only available after you've selected an installer option.
Run the installer — Follow the on-screen instructions to install TrustClaw on your device.
Confirm installation — Once you've downloaded and installed the agent, click I've Installed TrustClaw to continue.
Tip: If you'd like to set up TrustClaw later, you can click Skip Setup to go directly to your dashboard. You can always install the agent from the dashboard at any time.
Step 3: Enable Monitoring Policies
TrustClaw uses policies to determine what activity to monitor on your device. In this step, you'll enable the required policies with a simple toggle — no complex configuration needed.
OpenClaw Logging Policy — Enables audit logging for AI agent activity on your device.
OpenClaw Config Tools Policy — Enables monitoring of configuration and tool usage with a minimal profile.
Toggle on the required policies and click Continue. The button activates once the required policy toggles are enabled.
Step 4: You're All Set!
Once setup is complete, you'll see a success confirmation page. Click View TrustClaw to go to your TrustClaw dashboard, where you can start monitoring AI agent activity on your device.
What You Can Do with TrustClaw
Once you're set up, your TrustClaw dashboard gives you access to:
Real-time event streaming — See AI agent actions as they happen on your device, powered by live updates.
Action risk classification — Every agent action is automatically tagged as Safe, Risky, or Danger based on what it does (e.g., reading a file is safe, executing a command is risky, deleting a file is danger).
Activity filtering — Filter events by subsystem (agent, gateway, hooks, browser, etc.), risk level, and time range to find exactly what you're looking for.
Sensitive data redaction — API keys, passwords, and credentials are automatically detected and hidden before they appear in your logs.
Device overview — View device details including encryption status, OS version, and last connected time.
Policy management — Create and manage monitoring policies directly from the Configuration tab.
Managing Your TrustClaw Policies
You can manage your monitoring policies at any time from the Configuration tab in your device details:
Not Configured — The policy hasn't been created yet. Click Create Policy to set it up.
Not Assigned — The policy exists but isn't applied to your device. Click Assign Policy to activate it.
Enabled — The policy is active. Click Configure Policy to adjust settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which platforms does TrustClaw support?
TrustClaw currently supports macOS. Support for Windows and Linux is planned for the future.
Can I skip the installation during onboarding?
Yes. You can click Skip Setup during Step 2 to go directly to your dashboard and install the agent later.
What happens if I don't enable the monitoring policies?
Without the logging policy enabled, TrustClaw won't capture AI agent activity on your device. You can enable policies at any time from your dashboard's Configuration tab.
Is TrustClaw the same as the Swif MDM agent?
No. TrustClaw is a separate product focused on monitoring and securing AI agent activity. It does not include enterprise MDM features like remote lock, wipe, or device fleet management. If you need enterprise capabilities, you can upgrade to the full Swif workspace from the Plans page.
Can I use my existing Swif account?
The TrustClaw consumer onboarding is designed for new individual users. If you already have a Swif enterprise account, TrustClaw access will be provided through your existing workspace via a different flow.
How do I install TrustClaw on additional devices?
From your TrustClaw dashboard, click Setup Installer to open the installer modal. You can also share the installation guide with others by entering their email addresses.
