Requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Mac mini?
iMessage is a proprietary Apple protocol and only works on Apple hardware. A Mac mini is the most cost-effective way to connect OpenClaw to iMessage.
Can I use my existing Mac mini?
Yes, if it meets the minimum requirements (M1 or newer recommended, macOS Ventura+). However, we recommend a dedicated Mac mini for optimal performance.
Is iMessage GDPR-compliant?
iMessage uses end-to-end encryption. If the Mac mini is located in Germany, your data never leaves the country. We create the required privacy documentation.
