Highlights

Control UI

The Control UI now works more like one browser workspace for conversations and parallel work. Chats receive clearer titles, recent sessions are easier to find, pin, group, rename, fork, archive, and mark read, and multiple sessions can sit in resizable panes that return after a reload. Drag-and-drop placement, a denser Sessions page, and a live Tasks view make it easier to move between active work without juggling browser tabs.

Chat controls are clearer while work is in progress. The composer keeps attachments, model choice, voice, reasoning, send and stop state, and message actions usable across screen sizes; Talk users can choose or refresh a microphone from settings and get readable permission guidance on narrow screens; quoted replies preserve the point being answered; and compact tool rows keep inputs, results, images, progress, errors, approvals, and steering available without overwhelming the conversation.

Usage information is easier to understand from both status views and the browser. The Usage page compares recent estimated spend and daily values without repeated reloads or hovering, shows each provider, model, agent, or channel's share, and can include provider-reported plans, quotas, balances, budgets, and Anthropic or OpenAI billing details. Seven-, thirty-, and ninety-day charts now keep zero-activity days visible, large all-agent reports limit concurrent work to reduce slowdowns and memory pressure, and chat-level context panels and completed-message details show the active model, tokens, cache use, context pressure, and estimated cost.

Mobile pairing, Gateway health, desktop-node approvals, linked GitHub work, workspace files, scheduled jobs, worktrees, Workboard items, and background tasks are now available closer to the conversation. Their status, permissions, and next steps are also clearer.

The rework also strengthens the paths underneath those controls. Dashboard connects and reconnects use less temporary Gateway memory, reducing false pressure warnings, while temporary Gateway restarts and stale assets recover more cleanly. Path-routed Gateways keep the right destination and credentials, saved choices survive refreshes, and authentication, protocol, update, and pairing failures show more useful next steps instead of leaving the page stuck or ambiguous.

Responsive layouts keep chat history and controls usable on phones, tablets, short landscape screens, and large desktops. Keyboard and focus behavior, contrast, assistive labels, copying, scrolling, and touch targets are more consistent, while navigation, pairing, voice, schedule, and status text reaches more supported languages.

Setup and onboarding

Onboarding now offers clearer paths to a usable first chat. Fresh CLI installs enter guided setup, configured installs open the TUI, and conversational Crestodian setup remains optional. Android and macOS guide users through pairing, permissions, local or remote setup, and recovery; macOS can also test detected Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, API-key, and supported provider-catalog choices before saving them. Interrupted authentication or channel setup retains earlier choices, while users without a working model are guided through credential and model selection instead of being sent into an unusable chat. Owners and administrators can also renew an expired Codex or OpenAI login through private Telegram, Web UI, Discord, or Slack commands without SSH access.

Existing installations receive safeguards before their working state is changed. Doctor and updates refuse to replace an unreadable configuration, Doctor preserves model tuning while merging retired entries, and extended-stable updates retain the selected release channel. Container upgrades complete migrations and plugin repairs before reporting readiness, and unsafe runtimes are stopped before they can open OpenClaw state databases.

• openclaw doctor and updates now refuse to replace an unreadable openclaw.json, preserving existing Gateway, agent, channel, and plugin settings instead of breaking the installation. #​96469 Thanks @​obviyus, @​yetval.

• First-time onboarding now preserves earlier choices after authentication or pairing trouble and gives users an actionable model-configuration next step instead of opening an unusable first chat. #​100632
• Container upgrades now finish required migrations and plugin repairs before reporting the Gateway ready, and failed repairs stop with actionable guidance instead of leaving a false-green service. #​101881 Thanks @​sallyom.
• Crestodian setup now guides users who lack a usable model provider through masked credential entry and model selection, while deterministic setup and repair commands remain available until inference is configured. #​101887 Thanks @​fuller-stack-dev.
• OpenClaw now blocks unsafe runtimes before they can open SQLite-backed state, guides legacy Bun services to Node, and selects a WAL-safe Node runtime during setup and repair. #​106065 Thanks @​vincentkoc.

Official apps

The official iOS, Android, and macOS apps received substantial updates across setup, navigation, chat, voice, permissions, localization, files, scheduled work, native session controls, and Gateway recovery. Recent conversations remain useful through temporary disconnects: cached sessions and transcripts stay available for reading, supported text sends can wait for reconnection in the correct chat, and long conversations are easier to resume without losing the current place or mistaking an offline view for live history.

These improvements also bring the native clients closer together. Mobile queues survive app restarts, the macOS app gains fuller session and transcript tools, and each client refreshes the same conversation when the Gateway returns.

iOS and Android

• iOS and Android chats now preserve the reader's scroll position as new messages and tool activity arrive, with a clear way to return to the latest reply. #​98258 Related #​98255. Thanks @​christopheraaronhogg.

iOS and iPadOS

• iPhone and iPad chat now opens with the last known conversation and lets users browse recent cached sessions while the Gateway is unavailable. #​100219
• iOS users can queue chat messages while disconnected, keep them through app restarts, and send them in order after reconnection with clear retry and delete controls. #​100331

Android

• Android chat now shows the last known transcript immediately and keeps recent cached conversations readable during a Gateway outage, then refreshes them after reconnection. #​100227
• Android users can queue text while the Gateway is offline, keep it through an app restart, and send it in order after reconnection with Retry and Delete controls for failures. #​100290

macOS

• Mac chat now restores recent sessions and transcripts immediately, remains browsable while disconnected, and queues offline sends for the correct Gateway identity. #​100275
• The native macOS chat window now provides a full session sidebar, real new-session creation, slash-command completion, context and cost visibility, message copying, transcript export, and compact or clear-history action
