OpenClaw Core is written in TypeScript, **Node is the recommended runtime**.

Bun is not recommended for Gateway (issues with WhatsApp/Telegram compatibility).

OpenClaw has a macOS Companion App (Menu Bar) and mobile node apps (iOS/Android). Windows & Linux native companions are planned, but the Gateway itself is fully production-ready. Windows native companion is planned; currently recommend running Gateway via WSL2.
