Release date: July 24, 2026
Compared with: v0.0.8
Version code: 9
Default APK: Online TTS release
Highlights
- Improved notification summaries with Agent-routed SysInfo tools instead of a direct notification handler.
- Added precise notification queries for recent windows, yesterday, oldest-first ordering, and full update history within a safe result limit.
- Strengthened permission recovery with clearer missing-permission targets, return-to-app continuation, and live client-side status checks.
- Moved Home replies from Rich UI JSON to streaming-friendly Markdown controls.
- Added device time status checks, safer date-and-time settings routing, improved SMS context handling, Xiaomi empty-list permission guidance, and tool-argument validation before execution.
- Improved online model configuration, model connectivity checks, public relay request fitting, and local error presentation.
- Kept a preview YouTube downloader plugin package in the plugin repository for separate validation.
Notification and Device Workflows
- Notification summary requests now go through the Agent and SysInfo tools, so the assistant can produce semantic summaries in the user's requested language.
sysinfo_notification_querysupports today, yesterday, and recent time windows from 1 to 10080 minutes.- Notification results include the device time zone, parsed absolute window, total statistics, displayed count, and whether more data is available.
- Notification capture is more stable when the listener connects, reconnects, or replays active notifications.
device_time_statusreports the device time zone, system time, and optional NTP drift information.- Date and time settings can open through a direct Android settings intent instead of requiring Accessibility.
Permissions and Home Output
- Permission recovery now distinguishes missing, synchronizing, and ready states after the user returns to FoneClaw.
- Historical missing-permission conclusions are not reused unless the current turn has fresh tool evidence.
- A new FoneClaw permission status tool reports host-app permissions with clearer capability boundaries.
- Home output now uses Markdown plus constrained
foneclaw://ui/...links for prompt, permission, and control actions. - Legacy Rich UI JSON remains readable as plain text, but old JSON cards are no longer restored as interactive controls.
Model, Relay, and Messaging Reliability
- Tool arguments are validated before execution to reduce invalid calls reaching device tools.
- Public relay requests are trimmed more safely when conversation history exceeds request limits.
- Invalid online model configuration is shown as a model configuration issue instead of an unknown model failure.
- SMS reading, search, thread context, summaries, Xiaomi empty-list permission guidance, and draft-send flows received reliability and display improvements.
Plugin Preview
The preview YouTube downloader plugin APK is published through the plugin repository, not as an app release artifact:
- Package:
ai.android.claw.plugin.media.youtubedownloader - Version:
0.0.1 - Version code:
1 - Location:
plugin/plugins/apks/ai.android.claw.plugin.media.youtubedownloader-v0.0.1-1.apk - Supported flow: share or paste a YouTube link, install the plugin if missing, query available formats, then start, check, or cancel a download.
The plugin APK is available for separate validation. It currently uses a public test signing certificate, and the host release does not enable that test certificate as a production trust root.

Known Limitations
- This package is prepared as a GitHub pre-release and is not a Google Play release.
- The main Android APK still targets
targetSdkVersion=28. - The YouTube downloader plugin is a preview artifact. Production rollout still requires a production plugin certificate, trusted fingerprint configuration in the host app, full-format device validation, and FFmpeg license review.
- Member guest-login and member relay code is kept in the app but disabled by default.
- Notification and permission flows still require broader device regression before being described as stable final flows.
- This preparation run built and statically verified the release APKs, but did not perform a fresh install and cold-start smoke test on a device.
