nexu and openclaw-desktop
These are competitors—both are standalone desktop clients designed to provide alternative interfaces to OpenClaw, with nexu-io/nexu offering multi-platform chat integration while rshodoskar-star/openclaw-desktop emphasizes native UI performance and localization, but serving the same underlying use case of desktop-based OpenClaw access.
