dplooy has released OpenClaw Mission Control, a free, open-source web dashboard that gives OpenClaw users centralized visibility and control over multiple agent instances running simultaneously. The tool is available on GitHub under an open-source license, with a live demo for immediate testing.
The project addresses a concrete scaling problem, according to dplooy’s announcement: as OpenClaw users move from running one or two agents to managing five, ten, or fifteen, the messaging-app interfaces that work for single agents become inadequate for fleet-level operations.
What Mission Control Does
Mission Control provides a web-based command center for monitoring agent heartbeats, assigning tasks, and coordinating workflows across multiple OpenClaw instances. The dashboard requires no server, no install, and no build step, running entirely as a frontend UI template.
The tool targets a user segment that has grown rapidly as OpenClaw has expanded past 240,000 GitHub stars. Power users now routinely run multiple specialized agents, each handling a different domain: one for email and calendar, another for code deployment, a third for research. Developer Jonathan Tsai, quoted in dplooy’s announcement, described running five OpenClaw “General Manager” instances, each overseeing one aspect of professional or personal operations.
“After switching to Claude Code, I got a ~20x productivity boost. After adding OpenClaw, I got another 50x on top of that. But without visibility into all my agents simultaneously, I was flying blind,” Tsai told dplooy.
The Orchestration Layer Gap
Mission Control enters a market segment where demand has outpaced tooling. OpenClaw’s built-in interfaces handle individual agent management well, but fleet coordination, the ability to see what all agents are doing at once, assign work across them, and catch failures before they compound, has been left to users to improvise.
The release follows a pattern of third-party infrastructure emerging around OpenClaw as its user base grows. NVIDIA’s SkillSpector (open-source security scanning for agent skills) shipped this week, and Vercel’s Agent Stack with eve framework launched days ago, both addressing different infrastructure gaps in the agent ecosystem.
For OpenClaw operators running multi-agent setups, Mission Control offers the first purpose-built visibility layer, a “Trello for agents” that maps what each agent is doing, whether it’s healthy, and what it should work on next.
