summary: "Platform support overview (Gateway + companion apps)"
read_when:
- Looking for OS support or install paths
- Deciding where to run the Gateway

# Platforms
Moltbot core is written in TypeScript. **Node is the recommended runtime**.
Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).
Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app) and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Windows and
Linux companion apps are planned, but the Gateway is fully supported today.
Native companion apps for Windows are also planned; the Gateway is recommended via WSL2.
## Choose your OS
- macOS: [macOS](/platforms/macos)
- iOS: [iOS](/platforms/ios)
- Android: [Android](/platforms/android)
- Windows: [Windows](/platforms/windows)
- Linux: [Linux](/platforms/linux)
## VPS & hosting
- VPS hub: [VPS hosting](/vps)
- Fly.io: [Fly.io](/platforms/fly)
- Hetzner (Docker): [Hetzner](/platforms/hetzner)
- Google Cloud (Compute Engine): [Google Cloud](/platforms/google-cloud)
- exe.dev (VM + HTTPS proxy): [exe.dev](/platforms/exe-dev)
## Common links
- Install guide: [Getting Started](/start/getting-started)
- Gateway runbook: [Gateway](/gateway)
- Gateway configuration: [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
- Service status: `moltbot gateway status`
## Gateway service install (CLI)
Use one of these (all supported):
- Wizard (recommended): `moltbot onboard --install-daemon`
- Direct: `moltbot gateway install`
- Configure flow: `moltbot configure` → select **Gateway service**
- Repair/migrate: `moltbot doctor` (offers to install or fix the service)
The service target depends on OS:
- macOS: LaunchAgent (`bot.molt.gateway` or `bot.molt.<profile>`; legacy `com.clawdbot.*`)
- Linux/WSL2: systemd user service (`moltbot-gateway[-<profile>].service`)
