FocusClaw v2026.07.13

What's Changed

This release rolls up all FocusClaw changes since the last public release, v2026.07.03.

• Includes all FocusClaw changes since v2026.07.03, including the internal DEV increments v2026.07.03.1, v2026.07.03.2, and v2026.07.03.3.
• Fixed OpenClaw and Hermes logo rendering so the app icon keeps a stable square footprint when switching between dark and light themes without adding any wrapper border or background.
• Matched task description and task comment resize affordances by routing both through the same resizable field styling.
• Added an optimized Hermes app logo preload so the blue theme logo does not flash on refresh.
• Kept OpenClaw and Hermes logo assets warm across route changes so page switching does not recreate a cold visible logo image.
• Removed the added route, Tasks, and Calendar fade transitions so filter and reset actions update directly.
• Kept existing task content visible while refreshes run when data is already present.
• Replaced the full task-area spinner on true cold loads with stable skeleton task cards.
• Added a Due Tomorrow task status filter to the API and Tasks view, with focused API test coverage.
• Added a Calendar Week view for focused Monday-through-Sunday planning alongside the existing Month view.
• Increased desktop Calendar day capacity to show up to 10 visible task chips before collapsing the rest behind + X more.
• Matched Calendar and Tasks header/filter row heights so switching between them no longer nudges the page content.
• Updated app, API, plugin, landing, package, and backup version metadata to 2026.7.13 / v2026.07.13.

FocusClaw v2026.07.03

What's Changed

This release rolls up all FocusClaw changes since the last public release, v2026.6.22.

• Includes all FocusClaw changes since v2026.6.22, including the internal DEV increments v2026.6.22.1, v2026.6.22.2, v2026.6.22.3, v2026.06.30, and v2026.07.02.
• Fixed mobile Calendar new-task launch so the top-bar New Task button opens the task creation popup reliably.
• Changed new-task project selection to require an explicit "Select a project" choice instead of defaulting to the active or last-used project.
• Made disabled primary buttons visibly greyed out until required fields are complete.
• Fixed filtered task creation so newly created tasks only appear immediately when they match the active project, status, tag, owner, and search filters, preventing the quick add-then-disappear flash.
• Added agent-friendly JSON route aliases for tasks and projects: GET /api/tasks, GET /api/tasks?workspaceId=..., GET /api/tasks?projectId=..., and GET /api/projects?workspaceId=....
• Kept the existing project-scoped API routes intact for backwards compatibility.
• Increased task and subtask descriptions from 5,000 to 10,000 characters.
• Expanded description editing space in task details and new-task forms so long generated drafts can be reviewed without cramped scrolling.
• Added a Markdown mini editor and preview for task descriptions.
• Added separate Appearance controls for mode (System, Dark, Light) and theme family (OpenClaw, Hermes), so each family resolves its own dark/light palette automatically.
• Fixed light-theme project pill contrast so project names remain readable.
• Added task attachment metadata support for local paths, images, PDFs, and folders without uploading or owning the original files.
• Added attachment API routes and backup/export coverage.
• Updated Hermes and shared API docs to prefer the discoverable JSON routes.
• Reworked task descriptions into a shared Live/Code editor for task details and new-task creation: Live is the default editable rendered Markdown view, and Code is the raw Markdown/source view for agents and developers.
• Reworked attachments into a local-only Select a file flow that infers file/image/PDF type, stores metadata plus the local path, supports rename/open/missing-file handling, and shows compact paperclip indicators on task cards.
• Removed URL attachments from the app and API because FocusClaw cannot validate or control external URL content.
• Hardened Markdown rendering, inline code insertion, local attachment opening, non-loopback API auth, and encrypted backup passphrase requirements.
• Fixed mobile Settings bottom navigation clearance, iOS/Chrome viewport height behavior, and first-navigation layout shifts.
• Updated the landing page, app metadata, README, spec, API docs, Hermes docs, shared API notes, and OpenClaw plugin metadata to position FocusClaw as the local task context layer for OpenClaw, Hermes, and humans.
• Added Hermes logo/favicons and theme-family-aware logo switching across the app and landing page.
• Added Hermes theme family metadata, colors, and transition handling so OpenClaw and Hermes themes switch cleanly.
• Refined the empty task dashboard state with clearer create-task prompts and copy.
• Fixed desktop search and theme-transition spacing so the dashboard search area behaves more smoothly.
• Updated app, API, plugin, landing, package, and backup version metadata to 2026.7.3 / v2026.07.03.

FocusClaw v2026.6.22

FocusClaw is an agent-native task manager for people working with AI agents. It gives humans and trusted local agents one shared source of truth for tasks, projects, tags, priorities, due dates, backups, and handoffs.

What's new in v2026.6.22

This release includes all FocusClaw changes since v2026.6.18.

• Hid native browser search clear controls so FocusClaw shows only its custom search close button.
• Fixed Task Details description saves so edited descriptions persist and empty descriptions can be cleared.
• Reduced task-list flicker after Task Details saves by updating the changed task locally instead of forcing a full reload.
• Removed automatic natural-language recurring-task detection from the API.
• Added explicit Repeats controls for new tasks and Task Details: does not repeat, daily, weekly, every 2 weeks, and monthly.
• Added API coverage for explicit recurring values and for avoiding accidental recurrence from plain weekday text like "by Friday".
• Replaced task-card recurring text pills with compact repeat-icon indicators in grid and list views.
• Adjusted mobile task-card recurring indicators so the repeat icon sits next to the User/Agent pill instead of wrapping the metadata row.
• Updated app, API, plugin, landing, package, and backup version metadata to 2026.6.22 / v2026.6.22.

Verification
