Stability meets mobility
OpenClaw 2026.7.2 is a major step forward for professional workflows. It brings remote coding to cloud workers, brings full automation parity to mobile apps, and hardens the data layer against host-level failures.
Remote coding and cloud workers
Developer workflows are now more flexible and powerful.
- Cloud-hosted sessions: Run Control UI sessions directly on cloud workers for isolated, high-performance execution.
- Terminal integration: Open Codex and Claude catalog sessions in local terminals on their owning hosts.
- Session resumption: Resume OpenCode and Pi sessions directly in your favorite terminal environment.
Native automation and mobile nodes
Your phone is now a first-class automation driver.
- Mobile automations: Full parity for OpenClaw Automations on iOS and Android.
- Voice Wake: Foreground Voice Wake support for Android devices.
- Headless capabilities: Headless Linux nodes now expose camera, location, and notification features.
State safety and recovery
The platform is now significantly more resilient to database corruption and crashes.
- Quarantine store: Protects persisted data even if the primary database is damaged.
- Durable delivery: Keeps messages recoverable across gateway restarts and local crashes.
- SQLite snapshots: Crash-recoverable snapshots and rollback-writer recovery protect session history.
Guided Control UI setup
Getting started and adding new features is now more intuitive.
- Provider onboarding: Configure model providers directly from the Settings menu.
- Channel guidance: A new guided page helps you onboard messaging channels like Telegram or Slack.
- Session creation: Choose specific images and models while creating a new session.
Messaging and channel improvements
Core communication layers received substantial hardening.
- Telegram & Signal: Prevents ingress loss after restarts and keeps stop/approval controls responsive.
- ClickClack: Guided setup for the ClickClack channel and native command autocomplete in the composer.
- Slack indicators: Native assistant thread status and rotating loading messages are now standard.
