Paw

Changelog

What changed in Paw.

Newest first, in plain words. Paw is before 1.0 and builds go out several times a day, named 0.1.0 plus a commit id, so this log goes by day instead of by version number.

The Desk, drag and drop, and a calmer phone

  • New. The Desk: every project on one screen, with how many chats are working and how many need you. Open it with Alt+M or the Desk button. Cards snap to a grid and the layout is the same on every device.
  • New. Drag chats, History rows and files from the lists straight into a pane.
  • Better. The paw at the top of the rail is the one door to Loki on a computer. On a phone the cat sits in the list header.
  • Better. Tiling shows you the way once: a small hint with a tab sliding to a half, "Drag to split" when you hover a tab, and a reminder in the Layout menu.
  • Fixed. The phone layout can no longer be panned sideways. The list header folds History, Map, Loki and Settings into a menu when the title would not fit.
  • Fixed. The installed phone app checks for a new version each time you come back to it.
  • Fixed. The Mac app is signed as a whole, so a downloaded copy is not reported as damaged.

Tabs and tiling, Loki, history, review, server mode and the phone

  • New. Tabs for everything open in a project, and tiling: drag a tab to a half or a quarter of the window, pick a layout, resize the dividers.
  • New. Loki, Paw's cat. He is the help chat and has read the whole guide. Ask him how to do something in Paw.
  • New. Settings as one screen that opens over everything, from anywhere with Cmd+,: a default folder for new projects, model and effort for new chats, when idle chats sleep, notifications, voice, text size, keyboard shortcuts and about.
  • New. Server mode: deploy Paw to a Linux server with one script, and show that server from the Mac app in Settings. The server's Tailscale port is owner-only.
  • New. History: every conversation of a project, Paw chats and the Claude Code conversations you ran in that folder, with search. "Continue in Paw" carries one on.
  • New. Review: branches with how far ahead of main they are, a diff, comments sent to the agent, and merging.
  • New. Agents can now reach the project's notes, terminals and other chats.
  • New. Right-click menus on History, transcripts, notes and review branches, and a way to remove a project from Paw.
  • New. Notifications: when a long task finishes, when a chat needs you, when something goes wrong. Push on the phone, native on the Mac.
  • New. Paw on phones and tablets, installable to the home screen, with chats and unsent messages that survive a lost connection.
  • New. Voice: talk to a chat, and have answers read aloud on macOS. Speech is turned into text on your own computer.
  • New. A map of what happened in a conversation, a shared task list, notes with diagrams and pictures, and a Media tab for what agents send you.
  • New. Usage rings for your 5 hour and 7 day Claude limits, and a card with memory and CPU per awake chat.
  • New. Releases come with a .dmg to drag into Applications.
  • Faster. Long chats open on their newest 200 items and load older ones as you scroll, so a chat with thousands of messages stays smooth.
  • Fixed. Keys typed into a terminal before it finished connecting are queued and sent in order.
  • Fixed. A message sent while Claude is closing waits and wakes a new one instead of being lost.
  • Fixed. Dialogs are modal: focus goes in, Tab stays inside, focus goes back.

The first working version

  • New. A Telegram-style layout: projects as folders, a chat list and bubbles.
  • New. A Files pane with a tree, a viewer, changes and diffs; terminals that survive a restart; a browser pane with a live view you can take over; notes that autosave.
  • New. Agents get their own paw command to ask teammates and drive the browser, and a briefing on how to use it.
  • New. File and image attachments, voice input, an effort level per agent, and plan usage windows.
  • New. The Mac app, with the engine bundled inside.
