Heartbeat is very interesting, it's how OpenClaw keeps a session going and can go for hours on end. It seems to be powered by a cron that runs every 30 min or is triggered when a job is done.

I have a CRUD application hosted online that is basically a todo application with what features we want to build next for each application. Could I not just have a local cron that calls Pi or CC and ask it to check the todos and get the same functionality as Heartbeat?

I mean, yeah. I don't think OpenClaw is doing anything impossible to replicate. It just provides easy access to pretty novel features with a pretty simple setup, honestly. With just the ability to grab some API keys and follow a TUI, you can spin up an instance fast

@hourly cd project && claude -p "Get the next task from <tasklist> and implement it"

That's about it :)

It's just tools in a loop, what makes it cool is the amount of tools already created, specifically all the connectors.
