Computer Use on macOS, Skills Hub, and stronger long-running workflow supportđź”—
2026-05-20
Msty Claw 0.7.0
Msty Claw 0.7.0 introduces Computer Use support on macOS, a new Skills Hub for in-app skill management, and broader device coverage with invite-only Android app support.
This release also improves long-running task reliability, playbook controls, folder-first workflows, and mobile connectivity, while fixing Cloud Sync, synced agent visibility, container sub-agent environment behavior, and Windows 11 Caveman Talk setup issues.
Features
- Added Computer Use support on macOS so compatible agents can interact more directly with the computer when enabled.
- Added a new Skills Hub to discover, inspect, install, update, disable, and remove agent skills directly in the app.
- Added invite-only Android app support so Msty Claw can be used from more devices.
- Added automatic organization of unfiled chats into folders, with control over whether new folders should be created.
Improvements
- Added Data Protection coverage for Playbooks across both prompts and tools.
- Improved handling for long-running prompts and larger multi-step tasks, including app builds, complex planning, and extended creative workflows.
- Added support for selecting which agent runs a Playbook.
- Added support for custom container environments so you can tailor agent environments with required tools and packages.
- Improved folder menus so you can start a new chat or a new agent chat directly inside a selected folder.
- Added a smaller Goal UI option that minimizes to a button near the submit area for a cleaner chat interface.
- Improved mobile connectivity for a more reliable cross-device experience.
Fixes
- Fixed Cloud Sync cases where newly approved devices could appear stuck until restart; sync state, approval updates, and expired sessions are now handled more cleanly.
- Fixed an issue where synced chats appeared on another device but the related agent did not appear until later or after restart.
- Fixed container sub-agents running outside the expected container environment when the parent agent was running inside a container.
- Fixed a Windows 11 Caveman Talk setup issue where setup could fail despite Docker Desktop being installed and working.
Mission Control, mobile access, Context Scout, and folder memory workflowsđź”—
2026-05-13
Msty Claw 0.6.0
Msty Claw 0.6.0 introduces a dedicated mission workspace, invite-only mobile access, and pre-send context discovery to help teams run complex work with clearer structure and faster execution.
It also adds chat folders with memory support, per-task model assignment, local model discovery/install flows, and broad UX, reliability, and terminology improvements across the app.
Features
- Added Mission Control and Task Force, a dedicated mission workspace to organize complex work, run focused helpers, and coordinate parallel tasks.
- Added invite-only Mobile App access with quick QR setup so you can connect to desktop agents, start conversations, and run tasks or shortcuts from your phone.
- Added Context Scout for pre-send context discovery in workspace chats, with suggested relevant files/code maps and optional review/editing before send.
- Added chat folders with optional “learn from chats” mode so folders can collect reusable memory suggestions and apply accepted folder memory to new chats in that folder.
- Added Peek-a-Boo sidebar hover previews for chats and mission items, including quick visibility into recent activity and approval actions without leaving your current view.
- Added per-task model assignments so different app tasks (such as title generation or context scouting) can use different models.

Improvements
- Renamed product terminology from Bots to Agents for consistency and clarity across the app.

- Improved onboarding, sidebar clarity, settings labels/help text, agent/channel setup guidance, and first-run discoverability across key app areas.
Fixes
- Fixed Manga Vibe theme contrast and visibility issues where key UI elements could disappear in Tasks, Playbooks, and Shortcuts during hover and selection states.
- Fixed task redaction metrics double counting so single redacted items (including emails) are no longer counted twice in task runs.
- Improved long-running agent task reliability by handling transient provider/network failures better, adding safer retries, and reducing premature stoppage.
- Fixed agent model change application so edited model updates apply reliably without requiring status toggles.
