About
Claw Messenger gives AI agents two-way iMessage, RCS, and SMS access without requiring customers to maintain a Mac, SIM, or iCloud account. Developers can connect agents running on Linux, Docker, Windows, or cloud servers through REST, WebSocket, and HMAC-signed webhooks. The service supports tapbacks, typing indicators, read receipts, and group messages. Public plans start at $5 per month and include a seven-day trial.
Pricing
Claw Messenger offers a free plan plus paid tiers. See the website for current pricing.
FAQ
Does OpenClaw require a Mac for iMessage?
The native OpenClaw iMessage integration requires macOS because iMessage lives in a local database only Apple hardware can read. However, the Claw Messenger plugin bypasses this entirely — it works on Linux, Windows, VPS, and Docker with no Mac needed.
How do I set up iMessage for OpenClaw on Linux?
Install the Claw Messenger plugin with 'openclaw plugins install @emotion-machine/claw-messenger', add your API key and serverUrl to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, and restart the gateway. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
What is the difference between BlueBubbles and Claw Messenger for OpenClaw iMessage?
BlueBubbles is open-source and self-hosted but requires a Mac running 24/7, Full Disk Access setup, and significant maintenance. Claw Messenger is a managed API that works on any platform with no Apple hardware. BlueBubbles is free if you own a Mac; Claw Messenger starts at $5/month.
Can my OpenClaw agent send and receive SMS and RCS too?
Yes. Claw Messenger supports iMessage, RCS, and SMS through a single plugin and assigned sending number. Your agent automatically falls back to RCS or SMS when the recipient is not on iMessage.
Does Claw Messenger work with Hermes Agent?
Yes. The hermes-imessage package connects Hermes Agent to Claw Messenger so a Hermes agent can receive and send iMessage, RCS, and SMS without running a Mac.
How much does Claw Messenger cost?
The Base plan is $5/month for 250 messages and 1 registered number. The Growth plan is $15/month for 2,000 messages and up to 5 registered numbers. Plus is $25/month for 6,000 messages and up to 20 registered numbers. Pro is $50/month for 15,000 messages and up to 50 registered numbers. All plans include a 7-day free trial and support iMessage, RCS, SMS, tapbacks, typing indicators, and read receipts. Cancel anytime.
Do I need a Mac to use Claw Messenger?
No. Claw Messenger works on any platform — Linux, Windows, VPS, Docker. We handle the iMessage infrastructure. Your OpenClaw agent does not need Apple hardware.
What counts as a message?
Each inbound or outbound text counts as one message. Tapbacks, typing indicators, and read receipts are free and don't count toward your limit.
How do I set up Claw Messenger?
Sign up, subscribe to a plan, register your phone number, then paste the setup prompt to your OpenClaw agent or install the plugin manually. The whole process takes about five minutes.
My agent isn't receiving messages. What should I check?
Make sure your phone number is registered on the Phone Numbers page. Only registered numbers can reach your agent. Also check that your agent's gateway is running and the Claw Messenger plugin is enabled.
