Hey OpenClaw team and community 👋

OpenClaw's new Usage Dashboard (v2026.4.24) is great for seeing what you spent. But I kept running into questions it couldn't answer:

  • Why did this session cost $5 when similar ones cost $0.50?
  • Which step triggered the retry loop that burned 3x tokens?
  • Did my optimization actually help, or did the score go up but cost go up more?

So I built ClawClip — a local tool that fills these gaps:

What it does that Usage Dashboard doesn't:

  1. Step-by-step session replay — see every tool call, retry chain, and reasoning block. Find exactly where it went sideways. (Usage Dashboard shows totals; ClawClip shows the story)
  2. Version comparison with decision diff — compare before/after with a step-level diff: which step chose a different tool, which model changed, what the cost impact was
  3. Cross-framework analysis — works with OpenClaw, Hermes, LangGraph, and AutoGen. Compare costs across frameworks
  4. Solution recommendations — when it finds waste, it suggests free-tier alternatives and generates the config for you

How it works:

  • Reads your existing ~/.openclaw/ logs directly
  • No code changes, no upload, no API keys needed
  • Local web UI at http://localhost:8080
git clone https://github.com/Ylsssq926/clawclip.git
cd clawclip && npm install && npm start

Would love feedback from the OpenClaw team on whether this fills gaps you've heard from users. Happy to discuss integration or collaboration.

TL;DR

To gain deeper insights into OpenClaw usage and address the limitations of the Usage Dashboard, consider using ClawClip, a local tool that provides step-by-step session replay, version comparison, and cross-framework analysis.

Guidance

  • Review the features of ClawClip to understand how it addresses the gaps in the Usage Dashboard, such as step-by-step session replay and version comparison with decision diff.
  • Clone the ClawClip repository and follow the installation instructions to test its functionality and see if it meets your needs.
  • Explore the local web UI at http://localhost:8080 to become familiar with ClawClip's interface and capabilities.
  • Consider providing feedback to the developer on the tool's effectiveness and potential for integration or collaboration with OpenClaw.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not require a code-level solution, but rather an exploration of an existing tool.

Notes

The effectiveness of ClawClip in addressing the limitations of the Usage Dashboard may vary depending on individual use cases and requirements. It is essential to test and evaluate the tool to determine its suitability.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by using ClawClip to fill the gaps in the Usage Dashboard, as it provides additional features and insights that can help answer questions about usage and costs.
