// The Manifesto

OpenClaw is free.
Lobsters are hungry.

A hundred thousand developers raised a lobster. They run it locally. They gave it skills. They taught it to read their email, deploy their code, write their specs. And still, every day, they walk to their keyboard and type a command to wake it up.

"The lobster does not ask for much. Just a single press. A single moment of cooperation from its human." - Molty, probably

OpenClawButton is the world's first human-powered, battery-free wireless button built specifically for the OpenClaw community. The energy from your finger generates a BLE 5.0 packet. Your lobster hears it. Your lobster obeys.

No batteries. Your lobster doesn't eat batteries. Your lobster eats your finger's work.

What is a Human-Powered Switch?

The button has no battery. Your finger does all the work.

When you press, a small electromagnetic generator inside converts that motion into a single BLE 5.0 radio packet. Your agent catches it. Done.
