Slimmer sidebar, a docked file drawer, models that just work after sign-in

After 0.1.0 wrapped up the Windows pass, this release came back to the main canvas. The left sidebar is now a single Claude Code-style compact column — pinned and recent sessions live in one place, no more bouncing between a nav and a list. The chat header gets a Files toggle: tap it and a docked tree of the current session's working directory slides in on the right, so you stay in one window while writing code. The "managed models" line finally lands — sign in and XClaw's own models are wired up automatically, skipping the "first, go apply for an API key" errand. The macOS app icon also got rebuilt against Apple's official template, so older macOS (Sequoia and earlier) finally see proper rounded corners and padding instead of a flat square.

  • New compact single-column sidebar — pinned + recent sessions in one flat list
  • Docked Files panel: toggle from the chat header to see the session's working directory
  • Managed models: sign in and XClaw-hosted models are wired up — no API key needed
  • App icon rebuilt against Apple's template — older macOS now shows proper rounded corners
  • Smarter sidebar scrollbar — visible while scrolling, fades away when idle
  • Team agent migration completed — dispatch tasks across team members
  • Stability pass: session persistence, tool streams, chat-close UX, localized session dates

Windows, it's your turn

The last few releases polished macOS pretty carefully, and a pile of small Windows issues quietly accumulated on the side. This one is a dedicated Windows pass — failed installs, blurry high-DPI rendering, paths that blew up on Chinese characters or spaces, tray icons that vanished under certain themes, auto-update that couldn't back out cleanly. All addressed. We shipped macOS and Windows binaries; Linux didn't make this train, so the download page will transparently fall back to the 0.0.9 AppImage for Linux users. We bumped the version from 0.0.9 to 0.1.0 — nothing new in features, just felt this round of polish had earned itself a small stripe.

  • More reliable Windows installer, including failures seen on Windows 11
  • High-DPI rendering fixed — text and icons are crisp again
  • Path handling: Chinese characters, spaces, and brackets no longer break things
  • System tray icon shows up under all themes, not just some
  • Auto-update can cleanly fall back to the current version on failure
  • Minimize / restore no longer loses window focus on Windows
  • No Linux build this time — the download page falls back to 0.0.9's AppImage

A smoother browser, and Pulse finally looks like a newspaper

Two things this release. First, we walked the built-in browser end-to-end — slow first paint, occasional blank screens, tab-switching lag, lost sessions — the annoying stuff you've been putting up with, we finally sat down and fixed it. Second, Pulse got a proper editorial redesign: masthead, edition number, small-caps kickers, drop cap on the lead paragraph. It reads like the paper on your desk, not another feed. Also: the app icon in your Dock gets the designer treatment, replacing the 0.0.7 AI placeholder.

  • Browser overhaul: faster first paint, no more blank screens, tab switching feels instant
  • Sessions survive restarts — your logged-in tabs stay logged in
  • Pulse redesign: masthead, edition number, drop cap — reads like a morning paper, not a feed
  • New app icon in the Dock, taskbar, and installer — designer version, replacing the 0.0.7 AI placeholder
  • A pile of small fixes: window switching, theme handoff, dark-mode contrast

Cleaning up after 0.0.7

After we shipped sign-in in 0.0.7, we found a handful of rough edges in the wild: occasional crashes on launch, slow cold-starts on some machines, a few users needing to sign in again after updating. This release adds nothing new — it just patches the small things that were quietly making people mad, so 0.0.9 sits on solid ground.

  • Fixed occasional launch crashes and re-auth prompts after updating
  • Snappier cold-start, more stable on lower-spec machines
  • More reliable auto-update with cleaner fallback on failure

Swapped the icon for a maybe-uglier one

You told us the old icon didn't look premium — fair. We asked an AI to draft one while the real designer version is still on the way. We also quietly wired up sign-up and sign-in: walk in today and the room's empty, but the door works. Next up, XClaw's own managed models slot in behind that door — signing in just gets you running. No more "first, go apply for an API key" errand.

  • New app icon — AI placeholder; designer version inbound
  • Sign-up & sign-in: door's unlocked, room still under construction
  • Session persists locally — still signed in next time you open
  • Next release teaser: managed models behind the login, no API-key scavenger hunt

We paid the Apple tax

We spent $99/year on the Apple Developer Program so you don't have to fight macOS security dialogs. Starting from this version, installing XClaw won't trigger the 'unverified developer' warning anymore — just double-click and go. One small thing, but it makes a real difference.

  • Apple Developer notarization: no more security warnings on install or launch
  • No more 'System Settings → Security → Open Anyway' dance

One-click tunnel — access your Agent from any device

This release is all about remote access. We integrated Cloudflare Quick Tunnel so you can generate a secure link from the desktop app with one click, then open it on your phone, tablet, or another computer. The WebUI is also deployed to the cloud, making the remote experience nearly identical to local. We also added session sharing — send a link to your teammate so they can view the Agent's conversation. Under the hood, the full context compaction system was migrated from Claude Code, so long conversations no longer overflow.

  • Cloudflare Quick Tunnel: one-click secure link to access your Agent from any device
  • Cloud-deployed WebUI: remote browser experience nearly matches the desktop app
  • Session sharing: share conversation records with teammates via share.xclaw.team
  • Full context compaction system migrated from Claude Code — no more overflow in long chats
  • More robust tunnel connections: auto-reconnect, crash propagation, UI polling improvements
  • Full English and Chinese support for remote access UI

Your Agent now thinks, learns, and protects itself

The biggest change in this release: the Agent got smarter. Drawing from Claude Code's architecture, we added a memory system, context management, and safety guardrails. It now remembers your preferences, manages token budgets automatically, and detects dangerous commands before they execute. The entire conversation experience is also smoother — loading animations, Chinese prompts, and file generation tracking are all improved.

  • Agent memory system: remembers your preferences and past decisions
  • Smart context management: automatic token budgeting for long conversations
  • Safety guardrails: dangerous command detection (e.g. rm -rf), secret redaction, turn limits
  • Docker sandbox: isolated execution environment for agent subprocesses
  • Polished Chinese loading messages and animations
  • Generated files now trackable in the session panel
  • Skill self-improvement: agents can refine skills based on usage feedback
  • Local voice input (processed locally, never uploaded)

Your Agent stays close, without getting in the way

You no longer need to keep the XClaw window in focus. A small floating indicator at the top of your macOS screen shows what your Agent is doing in real time, and a chime lets you know when it's done. We also made Agent responses faster and more reliable, and the entire app now works seamlessly in both English and Chinese.

  • Floating status bar on macOS: see what your Agent is doing without switching windows
  • Faster, more reliable Agent responses — fewer freezes and disconnects
  • Full English and Chinese support across every corner of the interface
  • Run multiple Agents at once and track each one's progress in real time
  • Sound notifications when an Agent finishes — safe to switch away and come back
  • More flexible network proxy settings for corporate environments

Use it anywhere

Sometimes you're away from your main computer but still need to give your Agent a quick task. So we built a browser UI right into XClaw that you can access remotely from any device. We also added a command-line mode and a background service mode — same capabilities, any way you want to access them. This release also fixed some experience issues with skill installation and the daily briefing editor.

  • Built-in browser UI — access your Agent remotely from a phone or another computer
  • Command-line mode: start an Agent task with a single command
  • Run as a background service on a remote server
  • Smoother skill installation and fixed model switching in the briefing editor
  • Amazon cloud model support

Preview

Where it begins

The first time XClaw meets the world. You can run multiple Agent conversations at once, each handling a different task in a single workspace. Every morning it generates a daily briefing to tell you what's worth paying attention to. You can install ready-made skills from the store, or connect your WeChat messages and let the Agent handle them automatically. It's still early, but the full workflow already works end to end.

  • Multiple Agent conversations running side by side in one workspace
  • Auto-generated daily briefings with thumbnail cards for a quick overview
  • Skill store: browse and install ready-made Agent capabilities with one click
  • Connect messaging channels like WeChat — the Agent handles incoming messages automatically
  • Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux — download and start using it
