2026.7.2

Highlights

• Remote coding sessions: run Control UI sessions on cloud workers, open Codex and Claude catalog sessions in terminals on their owning hosts, and resume OpenCode and Pi sessions directly in a terminal. (#107670, #107086, #107200)
• Native automation and nodes: bring Automations parity to mobile, add foreground Voice Wake on Android, and expose camera, location, and notification capabilities from headless Linux nodes. (#106355, #107081, #107193)
• Safer channel operation: prevent Telegram durable-ingress loss after restarts, keep Signal stop and approval controls responsive during active turns, and stop channel allowlists from granting owner access. (#107288, #107422, #107403) Thanks @obviyus, @arduano, and @yetval.
• Guided Control UI setup: configure model providers from Settings, onboard channels through a guided setup page, and choose images and models while creating sessions. (#106490, #106469, #107358) Thanks @alexandre-leng and @fuller-stack-dev.
• Gateway and session recovery: prevent restart admission from wedging the Gateway, recover reply sessions after finalization stalls, and keep one-shot cron jobs enabled through lifecycle claim races. (#107339, #106792, #107236) Thanks @obviyus, @joshavant, @charliemeyer2000, and @SL4N.
• Install and packaging: add Linux deb and AppImage bundles with Gateway guidance, publish them from stable main-based releases, and let Windows installs continue immediately after winget adds Node.js. (#106533, #106891, #106862)

Changes

• External gateway supervision: add OPENCLAW_SUPERVISOR_MODE=external for lifecycle owners such as OCM, preserving verified restart and deferral behavior without exposing native service authority, blocking native service mutation and self-update, and providing a versioned atomic restart-handoff consume contract. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• ClickClack guided setup: configure ClickClack from openclaw onboard or openclaw channels add clickclack with URL, token, and workspace prompts, default-account env fallback, nonfatal live connection validation, and gateway-aware next steps that connect automatically when OpenClaw is already running. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• ClickClack command menus: publish each bot's native OpenClaw commands to ClickClack composer autocomplete at gateway startup, with per-account opt-out and nonfatal compatibility handling for older tokens and servers. Thanks @shakkernerd and @vincentkoc.
• Skill Workshop approvals: run agent-initiated apply, reject, and quarantine actions without an additional approval prompt by default while preserving skills.workshop.approvalPolicy: "pending" as an opt-in approval gate. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• TUI fuzzy selectors: delegate list matching to pi-tui, adding slash-token and alpha-number matching while removing the local matcher fork.
• macOS paired-node terminals: advertise duplex Codex and Claude terminal resume commands from the embedded node host and forward interactive input and cancellation through the native app bridge. (#107335)
• Control UI catalog terminals: open eligible Codex and Claude Code sessions in the native CLI on their Gateway or paired-node host, with viewer-versus-terminal preferences, validated resume commands, and an interactive PTY relay. (#107086) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Skill Workshop history review: add a manual, newest-first session scan that progressively searches older substantial work for conservative skill ideas, stores only SQLite cursor metadata, and leaves up to three results as pending proposals even when autonomous self-learning is disabled. (#106182)
• OpenAI GPT-5.6 defaults: use openai/gpt-5.6 (Sol alias) for fresh API-key setup and exact openai/gpt-5.6-sol for fresh Codex/OAuth setup, default Sol to medium reasoning across both runtimes, and preserve existing primaries, fallbacks, aliases, and explicit GPT-5.5 selections. (#103234)
• iOS offline chat: pre-paint recent sessions and canonical transcripts from a protected, bounded per-gateway cache, keep sending disabled offline, and purge cached conversation text when pairing is reset. (#100194)
• Slack progress indicators: use Slack's native assistant thread status and rotating loading messages by default while keeping acknowledgement reactions static; lifecycle reaction updates now require messages.statusReactions.enabled: true.
• Control UI Talk controls: keep voice, model, sensitivity, and other realtime defaults in Settings → Communications → Talk, and use the composer microphone caret to select any browser audio input. (#101046)
• Control UI session workspace shortcut: expand or collapse the active Chat pane's session workspace rail with ⇧⌘B without changing the main app sidebar or the separate detail and Canvas preview panel. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Control UI Settings shortcut: open Settings with ⇧⌘, while leaving the browser-owned ⌘, shortcut unchanged. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Control UI chat layout: center the transcript on the composer axis, keep assistant and tool output left and user bubbles right within the same readable frame, and preserve custom message-width overrides. (#104474) Thanks @shakkernerd, @vincentkoc, and @zw-xysk.
• Control UI composer footer: center the chat settings chip and model controls between the divider and the card edge instead of pinning them to the divider. (#105866)
• Control UI assistant actions: keep assistant name and time first while placing hover actions beside them on the left instead of at the far edge. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Control UI message context: reveal per-message token, context, and model details from the timestamp on hover or activation instead of showing a separate Context button.
• Control UI session titles: reveal truncated recent-session names with a reduced-motion-safe hover animation.
• Control UI sidebar usage: remove the provider usage quota row from the expanded sidebar while keeping usage details available in the chat composer and Usage page. Thanks @shakkernerd and @vincentkoc.
• Workboard dispatch cap: add a request-scoped --max-starts override while preserving the default cap, sequential starts, and one-card-per-owner guard. (#100174) Thanks @souvikDevloper, @Souvikalp, and @jwest75674.
• Plugin install provenance warnings: require explicit --force acknowledgement for arbitrary executable plugin sources in CLI and chat installs, keep trusted ClawHub, bundled, official-catalog, and tracked-update flows frictionless, and restrict Crestodian installs to trusted sources. (#102197) Thanks @jesse-merhi.
• Cloud workers: add session placement, dispatch, and worker-turn routing for remote session execution. (#106332)
• Paired-node coding agents: discover OpenCode and Pi sessions and continue Codex and Claude catalog sessions through streaming CLI agent runs. (#106941, #106927, #105833)
• Catalog sessions: create eligible catalog sessions directly from the Control UI sidebar. (#105810) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
• Managed worktrees: configure cleanup limits by count and total size from Settings. (#106224)
• Cron history: serve scheduled-run history from the task ledger. (#106392)
• Coding-agent memory: import Codex and Claude Code memory into the Control UI. (#106406)
• MCP isolation: scope MCP server connections to their requesting session. (#106359) Thanks @obviyus.
• Discord voice: notify agents when voice-channel participants change. (#107004)
• Codex usage: show the signed-in account email alongside app-server usage windows. (#106500)
• Skill Workshop: scan prior session history for conservative, reviewable skill ideas. (#106766)
• Task previews: show the latest tasks from the running-tasks status row. (#107297)
• Session changes: show the active branch and local changed-file state in Control UI sessions. (#106835)
• Channel progress: reserve progress drafts for long-running work and use the model's own preamble as the status headline. (#106026)
• Codex CLI: bump the bundled plugin to Codex CLI 0.144.6 and align GPT-5.6 Codex context metadata with the upstream 272k limit.

Fixes

• Cloud worker derived workspace caches: exclude Python caches, dependency trees, and macOS metadata symmetrically from outbound sync and inbound reconciliation so local cache rewrites cannot fence later cloud results or worker reclaim.
• Codex model status diagnostics: report a configured Codex route as unavailable when its harness plugin is disabled, missing, or quarantined, while preserving the separate credential result and making models status --check fail instead of silently treating fallback execution as healthy. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• Gateway control-plane rate limiting: use per-method buckets with a 30-per-minute budget so interactive admin writes remain responsive while retaining runaway-loop protection.
• Signal shutdown delivery: drain already-accepted ingress before stopping the monitor so messages received immediately before shutdown finish processing instead of being dropped.
• External supervisor restart health: accept device-identity policy closes only when the replacement gateway lock and listener PID agree, preventing OCM-managed restarts from timing out after a successful handoff. Thanks @shakkernerd.
• ACPX cleanup process inspection: bound host process-table reads so stalled ps calls cannot hang gateway startup or session cleanup while retaining fail-closed ownership checks. Thanks @Alix-007.
• Cron lifecycle conflict retries: preserve execution-phase retry decisions across scheduled, manual, and startup-recovered runs so post-execution claim conflicts cannot replay completed messages or tools. Fixes #108428. Thanks @yetval.
• Discord gateway metadata deadline: carry the existing lookup deadline through DNS and proxy preflight, request headers, and response bodies so stalled gateway startup abor...

2026.7.1

OpenClaw v2026.7.1 brings major Control UI and onboarding overhauls, major updates to the official iOS, Android, and macOS apps, expanded model and provider support including GPT-5.6 compatibility, Tencent Hy3, and Meta Muse Spark 1.1, and stronger Codex and connected coding-agent workflows. Telegram, Slack, Discord, and Apple Messages each receive substantial updates, while Gateway crash loops, scheduled work, remote browser control, workspace terminals, sessions, and goals also improve. There are also many general fixes and refinements throughout OpenClaw.

Read the full release notes

This release brings together 3,063 contributions from 532 contributors.

Highlights

• Control UI overhaul: conversations are easier to organize and work with side by side, with live Tasks, clearer chat controls, better usage and cost views, files, downloads, pairing, approvals, and Gateway health kept close to the conversation.
• Easier setup from install to first chat: guided setup provides clearer steps toward a working first chat, checks connections before saving them, and preserves earlier choices when setup is interrupted.
• Official app updates: iOS and iPadOS, Android, and macOS received substantial work across setup, navigation, chat, voice, permissions, localization, files, scheduled work, offline reading, queued sends, connection recovery, and native session controls.
• Models and providers: GPT-5.6 compatibility improves across supported OpenAI and Codex routes, Tencent Hy3 gains a complete setup path, Meta Model API adds Muse Spark 1.1, and broader Claude, Ollama, ClawRouter, LongCat, and provider work expands choice and reliability.
• Codex and connected coding agents: openclaw attach gives Claude Code temporary access to a selected session, Codex delegation and native subagents return tracked results more reliably, Copilot gains broader provider choices, and long-running sessions and goals are easier to resume.
• Telegram: live progress, photos and documents, topics, commands, retries, account routing, setup, and delivery all received substantial work.
• Slack: threads, cards, progress, identity, reactions, and duplicate prevention improve, while longer conversations avoid more unnecessary waits.
• Discord: replies, attachments, voice sessions, progress, reconnects, and multi-account behavior improve, with better unread cues and recovery from repeated session-resume failures.
• Apple Messages: replies, typing, media, routing, setup guidance, and chat continuity improve across supported bridge setups.
• Gateway crashes stop restarting forever: repeatedly failing Gateways now leave a stable repair path instead of restarting indefinitely.
• Scheduled work, remote browser control, and workspace terminals: scheduled work can wake only when something changes, selected signed-in browser tabs can pair remotely and save completed downloads safely, and guarded terminals are available across web, iOS, and Android.

Changes

• Channels and messaging: expanded native capabilities, clearer progress and delivery behavior, stronger media handling, and broader controls across Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, WhatsApp, Apple Messages, Teams, Matrix, Feishu, and other channels.
• Models and providers: more models can be discovered, selected, authenticated, and used across cloud, managed, and local routes, with clearer reasoning controls and provider-specific setup.
• Memory, sessions, and state: session groups, titles, unread state, checkpoints, context handling, goals, and recovery paths are more consistent across web, mobile, CLI, and connected agents.
• Tools and automation: browser control, downloads, cron jobs, terminals, files, search, fetch, MCP, and background task workflows gain new capabilities and clearer controls.
• Account, device, and data protection: passwords and tokens stay out of more logs, sensitive controls remain limited to approved users, device pairing is clearer, and unsafe downloads, files, and network requests are blocked earlier.
• Plugins and packaging: bundled and external plugins gain improved installation, discovery, updates, compatibility, diagnostics, and distribution behavior.
• CLI, setup, and administration: onboarding, Doctor, updates, configuration, status, diagnostics, node management, backup, and deployment workflows are easier to inspect and recover.

Fixes

• Chat delivery and replies: messages, progress updates, quoted replies, media, and final results stay tied to the intended conversation more reliably across reconnects, restarts, retries, and channel-specific limits.
• Control UI and native apps: fixes cover session state, stale completions, responsive layouts, scrolling, focus, accessibility, localization, pairing, voice, offline chat, and mobile recovery.
• Gateway and provider reliability: startup, restart, migration, authentication, fallback, streaming, model discovery, and oversized-response failures now stop or recover more cleanly.
• Sessions and memory: transcript, compaction, checkpoint, cache, rotation, search, and persistence fixes reduce lost state, stale views, and cross-session confusion.
• Browser, tools, and automation: browser actions, downloads, fetches, searches, scheduled jobs, terminals, subprocesses, and MCP calls now handle cancellation, malformed input, timeouts, and broken streams more safely.
• Setup, updates, and packaging: installers, containers, plugin updates, runtime checks, temporary files, and platform-specific launch paths receive recovery and compatibility fixes.
• Security and credentials: additional hardening protects tokens, secrets, approval scopes, local paths, network destinations, attachments, archives, and untrusted provider or plugin responses.

• Control UI and native macOS chat: make sessions primary with a minimal searchable sidebar, compact context ring, reasoning-effort slider, cleaner dashboard chrome, and a native macOS session browser with model and thinking pickers, slash commands, transcript export, and context usage. (#99289, #99838, #100386, #101103, #101497)
• Conversational onboarding: Crestodian now runs a real agent-loop setup across the CLI, web install, and macOS app, with AI-guided provider setup, model-judged approvals bound to exact operations, masked credential prompts, and deterministic fallback when no model is available. (#99935, #100029, #100656, #101887) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
• Offline and spoken mobile chat: iOS and Android now pre-paint bounded per-gateway session and transcript caches offline; Apple Watch gains full voice turns, and iOS can speak replies through configured Gateway TTS with on-device fallback. (#100219, #100227, #100283, #100770, #100771)
• Session organization and generated titles: generate concise session titles through utility-model routing and add Gateway-backed groups, unread state, rename, fork, archive, and delete controls, plus group management across web, iOS, and Android.

• Android chat code highlighting: render fenced Kotlin, Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Bash, and JSON blocks with bounded, theme-aware syntax colors while preserving plain rendering for unknown, partial, or oversized blocks. (#100217)

• Gateway TTS playback: add an operator-scoped tts.speak RPC that returns configured-provider speech as inline whole-clip audio for remote clients. (#100770)

• Control UI context usage: show context-window progress, latest-run input/output tokens, and the active model when the chat context ring is opened.

• Apple Watch voice turns: dictate a message from the Watch chat and hear the new OpenClaw reply spoken on the Watch, with explicit silent-message and stop-speaking controls. (#100224) Thanks @vincentkoc.

• Conversational onboarding: add a real agent-loop Crestodian setup flow across the CLI, Gateway, web install, and macOS app, with typed operations, exact approval binding, masked credential prompts, isolated session transcripts, and safe handoff to the normal agent. Thanks @vincentkoc.

2026.7.1

Highlights

• New models and providers: add Featherless, Claude Sonnet 5 and Mythos 5, Meta Muse Spark 1.1, and ClawRouter; make GPT-5.6 the new-setup default with /think ultra for Sol and Terra plus max for Luna, honor Z.AI max, and refresh model availability after OAuth renewal. (#101092, #98254, #101238, #102873, #103070, #103163, #99658, #99759, #98333, #103581, #98021, #104778, #102289) Thanks @vincentkoc, @vortexopenclaw, @HamidShojanazeri, @davemorin, @Solvely-Colin, @jalehman, @steipete-oai, @bdjben, @obviyus, @sallyom, @anyech, @100yenadmin, and @fuller-stack-dev.
• Control UI and native macOS chat: make sessions primary with a minimal searchable sidebar, compact context ring, reasoning-effort slider, cleaner dashboard chrome, and a native macOS session browser with model and thinking pickers, slash commands, transcript export, and context usage. (#99289, #99838, #100386, #101103, #101497)
• Conversational onboarding: Crestodian now runs a real agent-loop setup across the CLI, web install, and macOS app, with AI-guided provider setup, model-judged approvals bound to exact operations, masked credential prompts, and deterministic fallback when no model is available. (#99935, #100029, #100656, #101887) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev.
• Offline and spoken mobile chat: iOS and Android now pre-paint bounded per-gateway session and transcript caches offline; Apple Watch gains full voice turns, and iOS can speak replies through configured Gateway TTS with on-device fallback. (#100219, #100227, #100283, #100770, #100771)
• Session organization and generated titles: generate concise session titles through utility-model routing and add Gateway-backed groups, unread state, rename, fork, archive, and delete controls, plus group management across web, iOS, and Android. (#87643, #100814, #101117, #101234) Thanks @zhangguiping-xydt and @Juliangsm.
• Telegram and Codex continuity: pair Codex through private /login, steer active runs with /steer and /tell, preserve messages when transcript acknowledgement is missing, adopt durable turns safely, and recover final sends across Telegram formatting and flood-wait failures. (#98006, #98126, #98786, #103664, #103916) Thanks @100yenadmin, @Kyzcreig, @obviyus, and @jalehman.
• Startup and upgrade recovery: run container migrations before Gateway readiness, stop recoverable legacy state from blocking startup, and enter control-plane-safe mode after repeated unclean boots instead of restart flapping. (#101881, #104529) Fixes #98565 Thanks @sallyom, @jacobtomlinson, @bdjben, @obviyus, and @shakkernerd.
