What is Mission Control?
Mission Control is a desktop app that gives you a visual dashboard for your OpenClaw AI agent. Instead of SSH-ing into your server or checking logs manually, you get real-time monitoring, cost controls, and one-click management — all from a beautiful native app.
Do I need to install Node.js or use the terminal?
No. Mission Control is a standalone desktop app. Download the installer, double-click, and you're running. No terminal, no Node.js, no developer setup required.
How does auto-throttle save me money?
You set a daily spend limit (e.g., $5/day). When your OpenRouter spend approaches that limit, Mission Control automatically switches your agent to cheaper models like DeepSeek V3 ($0.20/MTok vs Sonnet's $3/MTok). Same work gets done, fraction of the cost.
What platforms are supported?
Windows 10+ is available now. macOS 12+ for Intel and Apple Silicon is coming soon.
Can I connect multiple OpenClaw instances?
The Personal plan supports 1 instance. Pro and Team plans support unlimited instances — great if you're running agents for multiple clients or projects.
What happens after my update year expires?
The app keeps working forever — you own it. You just stop receiving new feature updates. You can renew for $19/year anytime to get back on the latest version.
Is my OpenClaw data secure?
Mission Control runs entirely on your local machine. Your credentials are stored locally (never sent to us), and all communication goes directly between your computer and your OpenClaw server. We have zero access to your data.
How does Mission Control compare to Langfuse or Helicone?
Unlike cloud-based observability tools like Langfuse and Helicone, Mission Control is a local desktop app — no data leaves your machine. It also goes beyond monitoring: it can actively control your OpenClaw agent by switching AI models, setting budget limits, and auto-throttling costs. Cloud tools typically require code integration and charge based on usage volume.
Does Mission Control work with OpenRouter?
Yes. Mission Control integrates with OpenRouter to track your API credits and spending in real time. When your daily spend approaches your budget limit, it automatically switches your agent to cheaper models like DeepSeek V3 ($0.20/MTok vs Sonnet's $3/MTok). You can also import OpenRouter CSV billing data for detailed cost analytics.
