Openclaw Extra Butter package for startOS

I’m not sure where to post this, so dropping it here. Let me know if I need to move it elsewhere.

My openclaw has grown enough that I’ve split it out as its own package with its own ID, so it installs alongside the community OpenClaw rather than replacing it.

What the extra butter is:

  • Bundled Qdrant vector database (own volume) for long-term memory.
  • Helper agents the main agent can spawn, on cloud models or your own Ollama. The main agent can still create them itself, but you can see and manage them all from an action.
  • Built-in credential handling: the rbw Bitwarden-compatible CLI ships in the package (x86_64 and aarch64). Point it at your Vaultwarden once and the package logs in and unlocks it at every start, keeps it unlocked, and lets the other connectors pull their API keys from the vault instead of storing them in plain config. The master password is kept by the package (and its backups), so treat backups accordingly.
  • Optional connectors to services you already run: Vaultwarden, Ollama, an SMB NAS, n8n, Trilium, SearXNG, Crawl4AI and ntfy, plus host mappings and a custom CA for internal HTTPS.
  • Mobile webchat with one profile per person (optional PINs). I use it from my iPhone as a private channel that feels closer to the Claude app than the OpenClaw web interface.
  • Built-in PDF reading with OCR, and a health skill.
  • Optional (off by default) StartOS administration via start-cli. Root-equivalent, so think before enabling it.

Latest release: download the s9pk (the current version and its notes are shown there). To update, sideload it over your existing install. Release announcements are in the replies below.

Feedback and bug reports welcome. If there’s interest in getting any of this into the community registry, I’m happy to help with whatever that takes.

Update: 2026.10.1:0 OpenClaw 2026.10.1 (from 2026.9.9).

Release with both s9pk files: Release 2026.10.1:0 · usuallymark/openclaw-extrabutter-startos · GitHub

changes:

  • New OpenClaw. The first start migrates the agent databases (1–2 minutes), and that can’t be undone. StartOS will prompt you to make a backup before updating; please do.
  • SimpleX users: OpenClaw 2026.10.1 can’t load SimpleX plugin 2.1 or older, and with an old one installed, agent changes and OpenClaw’s repair step fail. The package now upgrades the plugin to 2.2.0 on its own during that first start. If it can’t download it, it retries at the next start and Configure SimpleX asks to be submitted again.
  • The webchat moves to the 2026.10.1 gateway client.

Tested on my device only. The aarch64 build is still untested on real hardware.
