Yes. The UI allows you to add repositories (OpenClaw is one listed), and you can enable/disable any of them.

Thanks for making this! It's a great application, and in stark contrast with the 'competitors', everything is so polished and it's not full of half baked features. That's a huge plus in my book. More features =/= better if the core isn't solid. I love how right moltis gets this.

I've really been enjoying it. Heavily added onto my fork already. Not at all because it wasn't good already, exactly because it is so it's worth building on top of!

I tried fixing bugs in some alternatives but there were just so many and it felt like a losing battle.

I'll definitely be submitting some (more) PRs in the future. I've pushed one upstream so far for review, but I have a lot more ready to submit later on.

Again, thank you so much for making this! Stellar work!

It can modify everything, because while it's a single binary and that makes it easy for installation, there are things stored outside that binary. The memories, the skills, the config etc. But you can do everything from the UI and you don't need to bother, it will be all automatic.

It is already MIT license.

Didn't see it, thanks!

Heartbeat: is run on a regular interval (you choose) and can do something you define in the heartbeat prompt section of that settings.

Crons: is run when you want, you can ask to Moltis things like "do <whatever> every day at X" and it will automatically create a cron entry, you can disable later.

For cron, what's the difference between "Agent Turn" and "System Event"? Also, is there a way to delete cron runs from the chat list?

There is actually a reason, the Rust logo is a crab named Ferris: https://rustacean.net

ah that's fair, that makes a lot more sense.

I thought it was all from "clawdbot" being renamed to "moltbot" to "openclaw". Thought everyone stuck with the lobster meme simply because of the claude code origins of clawdbot.

To be honest, I was looking at a short name, something than "Rustacean" would get, had a domain name available, easy to pronounce. I didn't like rustclaw, I think having similar name doesn't mean much unless it's very related, like tinyclaw being a typescript simili I get it.

For the logo, I do think everyone went for the lobster meme for a connection to clawdbot. But in my case it's because I wanted to use a derivative of the Rust logo, a crab.

You should not be limited, which provider do you use?

For the models? Directly from Anthropic and OpenAI. I'm running moltis via the docker container

edit: There is a gpt-5.3 model, but selecting that gives me the error:

Error The model `gpt-5.3` does not exist or you do not have access to it. Provider: openai

I don't see a 5.3-codex, and no opus 4.6...

Let me confirm, I just tried on digitalocean and I have a similar issue, the last version I published might have issue. Fixing as of now.

oh so those are issues from the provider itself, you get to choose between model the provider advertise for you, meaning:

- you can have models you can not actually use (that gpt-5.3 response) - you can have model non-listed.

Those are all coming from the provider with your API_KEY.

It's a different take and heavily inspired at first by OpenClaw, which is a great product and Peter the founder is an amazing human being. I'm adding features than I want, since I do Moltis for my own use but also try to add features than others will enjoy.

I think Rust makes a lot of sense security wise, it does add benefits like being a single binary and very easy to install. I also tried to make it easy to try with a 1-click deploy on the cloud.

I'm not sure this is convincing enough but I think you can only judge by yourself trying it out, and I'd love feedback.

Aside from security and efficiency, is there anything openclaw and do that moltis can't? Like for example, does moltis have the "heartbeat" thing, short and long term memory, can update a soul.md etc?

I'm so keen to try openclaw in a locked down environment but the onboarding docs are a mess and I can see references to the old name in markdowns and stuff like that. Seems like a lot of work just to get up and running.

Moltis can do all that yes, unless I missed something. And it's way easier to setup.

Thanks for building Moltis. How does Rust alone make it more secure and immune to Prompt injection attacks?

To me it isn't about prompt Injection attacks, but supply chain and attack surface.

Thanks for the explanation! I love different takes, so good luck! I will try it later on. As I said i haven’t tried openclaw but just a quick look it seems like your take has all the pain points of openclaw fixed! Thanks Fabien

author here, it works for a few friends. Would love to fix it for you, but you can also just use the github project: https://github.com/moltis-org/moltis

These is one of the option but I felt like it was a bit early to use.

Not really, there are been numerous tries but nothing these days. You can use less memory hungry libraries like hanami instead of Rails, for example.
