Published: 2026-08-12 Tags: release npm minor

NextClaw v0.32.0 turns Apps from a workspace development capability into something people can discover, install, and keep using. The first official bundle, Personal Space, brings Todos, Markdown Notes, Favorites, and Calendar into one lightweight home while keeping personal data in a stable directory across app updates.

Features

• Mini App marketplace and lifecycle: Search, inspect, install, enable, open, update, roll back, and uninstall app packages from Apps.
• Personal Space: Four dedicated entries for Todos, Markdown Notes, Favorites, and Calendar share one local data service.
• Composite app packages: A .napp can contain Panels only, a Service only, or multiple Panels and Services together, projected directly into the existing runtimes.
• Unified system object references: Browse, search, and add inbox reports, scheduled tasks, files, and folders to a conversation through the @ panel.

Enhancements

• Apps now includes marketplace discovery, installed state, permission confirmation, package-level management, and a responsive narrow-panel layout.
• The Time/Project session switch is more compact, while the file Explorer remembers visibility and keeps selection aligned with files opened elsewhere.
• Marketplace skill updates detect local edits and ask before replacing modified files.

Fixes

• Runtime updates completed from Settings now use the stable launcher to start the new version, keeping the UI, kernel, and actual process aligned.
• App install and update operations are atomic and validate the complete package, so failures do not leave partial installations behind.
• Remote downloads have size budgets, calendar subscriptions reject unsafe network targets, and uninstall removes stale runtime grants.

Defaults and Compatibility

• App code is immutable per version while app data lives in a stable directory; rollback, upgrade, and reinstall do not implicitly delete personal data.
• Built-in apps are available but are not enabled or granted Service access automatically.
• Existing Panel Apps, Service Apps, and .napp v1 packages continue to work; composite packages use .napp schema v2.
• Calendar remains a lightweight local and subscription view rather than replacing the system calendar; Notes stay as Markdown files and Favorites stay a simple list.
