Open the Control UI dashboard in a browser
getting started
// what it does
openclaw dashboard opens the browser Control UI served by the gateway at http://127.0.0.1:18789/ — chat, live sessions, config editing with schema validation, and channel status in one place. The port is the gateway's own gateway.port, so it moves if you changed the port.
// shell
$ openclaw dashboard// gotcha
The dashboard binds to loopback, so it is only reachable from the same machine. To use it remotely, forward the port over SSH or Tailscale rather than binding the gateway to 0.0.0.0.
