v0.6.0 — Public preview

First public preview of Phone Harness: a local Android workspace shared by humans and their existing AI assistants.

Included

• Graphite desktop/browser interface with live scrcpy video, compact phone controls and visible action feedback.
• Original-agent task queue, checkpoints, reordering and immediate human takeover.
• Physical-screen indicator and explicit on/off requests; compact audio, charging, sample-time and device-activity details.
• Standard MCP bridge plus an optional OpenClaw/Jarvis adapter for original-conversation continuation.
• MIT license, English/Chinese setup guides, contribution/security guidance, issue forms and a no-device UI preview.

Both macOS and Linux GitHub Checks passed on release commit 60b93e5.

Getting started

Use the English README or 中文快速开始.

The source ZIP contains the CLI, macOS launcher source, integrations, tests and UI fixture. The wheel is a Python package, not a ready-made signed macOS app; phone-harness install-app builds the local application using Apple Command Line Tools. Python 3.11+, Node/npm, ADB and owner-authorized USB debugging are required. The viewer remains loopback-only; remote desktop to the trusted host is the intended remote-viewing path.

Validation and limits

Local checks passed: 53 Python tests, 11 action-feedback JavaScript tests, six OpenClaw adapter tests, syntax checks and wheel build. The UI was checked at 1280 × 828 and 850 × 618 with synthetic data. The installed macOS window loaded 0.6.0 and continued the real 720 × 1600 stream with human ownership and physical panel Off.

See VALIDATION.md for the exact historical device-acceptance scope. Real-device evidence is limited to the tested Motorola G100 on Android 15 and the tested Mac. Linux CI is software validation, not Linux phone acceptance. Windows, other phones, multi-day unattended operation and acoustic silence during calls remain unverified. The project provides tools and coordination, not an AI model or a sandbox for unrelated raw ADB programs.

The public screenshot, phone illustration and tasks are synthetic. No private device configuration, task history, device serial, live local token or real-phone screenshot is included. SHA-256 checksums are attached for download integrity.

Feedback

Please use Issues, including host/Android versions, reproduction steps and whether human takeover worked. Review screenshots for private content before attaching them. Security reports can use private vulnerability reporting.
