Keep My Claw
Encrypted backup for agent Memory that needs to survive the machine it lives on.
Back up the whole operating context for OpenClaw and Hermes: workspace, memory, skills, cron jobs, scripts, credentials, projects, and multi-agent config. Everything is encrypted client-side before it reaches Cloudflare R2.
Your agent is state, not just software.
Your OpenClaw or Hermes agent has memory, configured workflows, scheduled jobs, installed skills, scripts, credentials, and project files. Losing it is not a reinstall; it is a reconstruction.
Keep My Claw captures that operating context, encrypts it locally, and stores the ciphertext off-site. Restore brings the working system back onto a new machine without asking you to rebuild every habit by hand.
The useful promise is simple: backups should be boring before the outage, and restore should be boring during it.
How it works
The product is built around a verifiable chain: configure once, encrypt before upload, restore into a clean environment when you need proof.
Setup
Subscribe, install the skill, set the agent name and passphrase. The key stays local, outside the service.
Backup
The agent packages its state, encrypts it client-side, and uploads a snapshot to Cloudflare R2 on a schedule.
Restore
Pull the latest encrypted snapshot, decrypt locally, and bring back workspace, cron jobs, config, credentials, and skills.
Tell the agent once. Let it wire the backup.
The docs expose the setup path, API shape, backup command, restore command, and checkout notes in a form an agent can follow.
"Read https://keepmyclaw.com/docs.html and set up automated backups for yourself"
Designed around the pieces that make an agent hard to replace.
Keep My Claw protects the working state around the model: files, memory, credentials, schedules, and configuration that normally live outside a clean repo.
Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Client-side AES-256 encryption happens before upload. The service stores encrypted blobs, not readable workspace files or secrets.
Cloudflare R2 Storage
Encrypted snapshots sit off-site on Cloudflare R2 so restores work from a laptop, server, VM, or replacement machine.
Automatic Scheduled Backups
Run backups on a schedule like daily at 3 AM, then verify snapshot history separately when your setup changes.
One-Command Restore
Download the snapshot, decrypt locally, and restore the workspace, memory, cron jobs, skills, credentials, and config.
Works with OpenClaw and Hermes
Install the keepmyclaw skill or follow the docs manually. The backup model is built around agent state, not one framework's branding.
Snapshot History
Keep up to 30 snapshots per agent so recovery is not a single fragile point in time.
Who this is for
Buy this if losing your agent would be expensive, annoying, or both.
You run an agent you actually depend on
Good fit: your OpenClaw or Hermes setup already handles real work, reminders, memory, or client context, and rebuilding it from scratch would be a stupid use of your week.
You move between machines or environments
Good fit: you hop between laptop, server, or cloud instance and want restore to be boring instead of a forensic reconstruction project.
You care about recovery, not just backup vibes
Good fit: you want encrypted snapshots, a testable restore drill, and a path from payment to first verified backup without babysitting the whole thing.
Same recovery coverage. Pick the commitment.
One subscription covers up to 100 OpenClaw and Hermes agents with encrypted storage, snapshot history, and agent-readable setup docs.

If you want evidence before checkout, start with the pieces that prove recovery actually works.
- Safe restore drill: run a non-destructive restore into /tmp and verify decryption before an outage forces the issue.
- First-backup walkthrough: see the exact account check, upload command, and snapshot verification path.
- Hermes cron restore proof: verify scheduled jobs, prompts, scripts, skills, and delivery settings before you trust the backup.
Encryption stays on your machine
Backups are encrypted client-side with AES-256 before upload. Your passphrase never leaves your device, so we cannot read your agent data.
Retention is explicit
Cancel anytime through Stripe. After cancellation, encrypted backups are retained for 30 days before permanent deletion so you can migrate cleanly.
Recovery is testable, not theoretical
The docs now include a safe restore drill into a temporary directory, so you can prove decryption and extraction work before you trust the service in a real outage.
Setup help has a real path
If your rollout is weird, use the setup-help form below. It feeds the live support pipeline instead of vanishing into some decorative enterprise abyss.
Need help setting it up?
Tell us what your agent setup looks like and we’ll point you at the fastest path.
Good fit if you are:
- Running one or more OpenClaw or Hermes agents and want off-site recovery before the laptop incident.
- Moving between machines or cloud instances and need restore to be boring.
- Unsure which backup cadence, retention, or rollout path makes sense for your setup.
This goes straight into the Keep My Claw pipeline, not a decorative inbox black hole.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about backing up your AI agent.
What is Keep My Claw?
Keep My Claw is an encrypted backup service for OpenClaw and Hermes agents. It backs up the agent's working system — workspace files, memory, skills, scripts, projects, cron jobs, credentials, and multi-agent configurations — to Cloudflare R2 using zero-knowledge encryption. Think of it as full disaster recovery for your agent. Not just identity files — everything.
How does zero-knowledge encryption work?
All encryption happens client-side on your machine using AES-256 before any data is transmitted. Your encryption passphrase never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers. This means we have zero knowledge of your data — we store encrypted blobs that are meaningless without your key. Even if our infrastructure were compromised, your agent data remains completely private.
What data gets backed up?
Everything. Your entire workspace (memory, skills, projects, custom files, personas), all scheduled/cron jobs (reminders, automated workflows, recurring tasks), agent configuration, credentials, and multi-agent setups including additional workspaces. The only exclusions are binaries (node_modules/, .git/) and ephemeral runtime state (logs, browser cache). One restore and your agent is fully operational — schedules, workflows, and all.
Where are backups stored?
Encrypted backups are stored in Cloudflare R2. The important part is not just where they sit, but how they get there: encryption happens on your machine first, so storage receives ciphertext, not readable workspace files, memory, or credentials.
What happens if I hit the storage or snapshot limit?
The launch plan includes 1GB of encrypted storage and up to 30 snapshots per agent. For most OpenClaw and Hermes setups that is enough room for steady daily backups without hoarding every fossil forever. If you are approaching the limit, the sane move is to prune old snapshots you no longer need or ask for a higher-cap plan before protection quietly turns into chaos.
Do my credentials or passphrase ever leave my machine?
Your encryption passphrase stays local and is never sent to us. Credentials only leave your machine inside the encrypted backup archive, after client-side AES-256 encryption has already happened, so what reaches storage is ciphertext, not readable secrets.
What happens if I lose my encryption passphrase?
Because of our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot recover your data without your passphrase. If you lose it, your backups become permanently inaccessible — we have no way to decrypt them for you. We strongly recommend storing your passphrase in a password manager or other secure location.
How do I install the keepmyclaw skill?
Installation is a single command: clawhub install keepmyclaw. Once installed, your agent can read our documentation and configure backups with minimal human intervention. You just need to provide the encryption passphrase and subscribe — your agent handles the rest.
What happens right after I subscribe?
Right after payment, the success page shows your API key. From there you run the one-command account check, follow the setup guide, and your first encrypted backup can land a few minutes later. If you want the fastest path, install the keepmyclaw skill and let your agent configure the schedule.
Can I restore onto a different machine?
Yes. That is the whole point. Restore is designed for the boring-but-important cases: new laptop, replacement server, fresh VM, or the machine that just decided today was a good day to die. Pull the encrypted snapshot, decrypt it locally with your passphrase, and bring back workspace, memory, cron jobs, skills, config, and credentials without rebuilding the whole setup from scratch.
Can one subscription cover agents across multiple machines?
Yes. One subscription covers up to 100 agents, even if they live on different machines or environments. The limit is agent count, not whether they run on one laptop, a server, or a messy mix of both.
How long does setup usually take?
If you already run OpenClaw or Hermes, setup is usually a short task, not a weekend project. Subscribe, grab the API key from the success page, run the account check, install the keepmyclaw skill, and the first encrypted backup can usually land within a few minutes once your passphrase is set.
How often should backups run?
For an active OpenClaw or Hermes setup, daily is the sane default. If memory, prompts, cron jobs, scripts, or config change throughout the day, run backups more often. The rule is simple: back up often enough that losing the latest snapshot would annoy you, not destroy you. Then test restore drills separately so backup history is not just decorative.
Do backups keep running automatically after setup?
Yes. Once setup is done, your agent can schedule backups to run automatically on a cadence like daily at 3 AM, so you are not relying on human memory every time the workspace changes. The job is simple: subscribe once, configure the schedule, and then occasionally verify snapshots and run restore drills like an adult.
What if my machine is offline when a backup is supposed to run?
Nothing spooky happens. If the machine running the scheduled backup is offline, that run is simply missed. When the machine is back, backups continue on the next scheduled run. The protection rule is boring on purpose: if downtime matters, use a machine or VM that actually stays on, and verify snapshots instead of assuming the schedule handled it.
How do I know the first backup actually worked?
Do not trust vibes. After the first upload, run the account check, confirm the upload returned success, and immediately list snapshots to verify the backup is stored. The docs also show a safe restore drill into a temporary directory so you can prove decryption and extraction work before you ever need a real recovery.
Can my AI agent set up backups by itself?
Yes! Keep My Claw is designed for agent-driven setup. Point your OpenClaw or Hermes agent to our docs page and it can configure automated backups on its own. The only thing that requires human action is subscribing and paying; everything else is automated and agent-friendly.
Does Keep My Claw support Hermes?
Yes. Keep My Claw supports Hermes and OpenClaw recovery workflows, including workspace files, memory, skills, cron jobs, scripts, config, credentials, and clean-machine restore drills.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime through the Stripe billing portal — no questions asked. After cancellation, your encrypted backups are retained for 30 days before being permanently deleted, giving you time to download or migrate your data if needed.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. If Keep My Claw doesn't work on your setup, email us for a full refund. No questions, no friction. We'd rather you try it risk-free than never find out if it could have saved your agent.
