I built Heart - a self-hosted household AI chat app on OpenClaw for my family

I've been building Hearth over the past few months. It's a self-hosted household AI chat app built on top of OpenClaw, designed for real multi-user family use.

The problem I was solving: I wanted my whole family to use OpenClaw together — not just me chatting through Telegram. I needed each person to have their own account, their own separate conversations, private chats, and a proper app experience that felt like something they'd actually want to use every day.

So I built Hearth as the household product layer on top of OpenClaw.

**What it does today:**

- Multiple chat conversations per person

- Multi-user household support (each family member has their own account)

- PIN + biometric login

- Private chats with role-based access (owner/member)

- Reminders

- Real-time streaming with stop button

- Model presets (fast/deep per conversation)

- Attachments, image generation, text-to-speech

- Mobile-first dark theme PWA — installable on phone

- Self-hosted with optional HTTPS via Caddy

- One-command installer that handles everything

**Tech stack:** Vue 3 + Quasar frontend, NestJS backend, PostgreSQL, OpenClaw plugin for AI routing.

**The bigger idea:** most AI products are single-user. But real household life isn't. If AI becomes part of daily family life, the context and memory a household builds should belong to that household — not to a platform. Hearth is an early attempt to build toward that.

My family is using it daily. Still early release and things are evolving, but it works.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, the OpenClaw integration, or how I'm using it at home.
