Msty Claw 0.9.0: Better Usage Insights, Folder Triggers, and Local Document Parsing

Claw is most useful when it stays close to the things you are already working with; such as files, ongoing conversations, and repeatable tasks. Version 0.9.0 makes that work easier to follow and gives Claw a few new ways to respond to changes in your workspace.

The previous 0.8.0 release introduced Pulse, Side Chat, Rules, agent handoff, and workspace profile files.

This release builds on that foundation with a new Usage Stats board, folder change triggers for Tasks and Playbooks, and a local document parsing tool.

See How You Are Using Claw

The new Usage Stats board brings token usage, tool activity, and activity over time into one place. That makes it much easier to answer basic questions that previously took some digging, such as: How much have I been using Claw? Which parts of my workflow rely on tools? Has my activity changed over the last few days or weeks?

Grouped heatmaps make longer-term patterns easier to spot without checking one conversation at a time. It is a simple addition, but a useful one, especially if Claw has become part of your daily work.

Turn Folder Changes into Action

Tasks and Playbooks can now run when a watched folder changes.

That opens up a different kind of automation. Instead of waiting for a schedule, Claw can respond when the work arrives. A new document can start a review process. Updated project files can kick off a repeatable Task. A folder where files regularly arrive can become the starting point for a Playbook.

Scheduled runs still make sense when something needs to happen at a set time. Folder triggers are for the workflows that should begin because a file was added or changed.

Bring Local Documents into the Workflow

Msty Claw 0.9.0 also adds a local document parsing tool. It gives Claw a more direct way to work with document content that is already on your machine.

The practical benefit is fewer handoffs between apps. You do not have to open a document, pull out the relevant text, and paste it into a conversation before Claw can help. Documents can become part of review, summarization, and research workflows with less manual preparation.

That is particularly useful when you are working through reports, notes, forms, or reference material and want to keep the process local.

Smaller Improvements That Add Up

Not every improvement in 0.9.0 needs a full section, but several will make the app feel better in daily use:

• Clearer guidance when an installed container runtime needs more configuration
• More control over conversations when deleting a folder
• More consistent scrolling in the thinking panel
• Smoother folder-first creation for agent chats
• Clearer Cloud sign-in feedback on mobile
• Better sidebar keyboard navigation
• More reliable app update handling

The release also fixes issues with Rules, scheduled Tasks, model selection, command display, folder organization, and data sync. These all work to help remove the kind of friction that becomes noticeable when you use Claw throughout the day.

A More Useful Local Workspace

Msty Claw 0.9.0 is another highly practical release that makes existing work easier to follow and gives local files a bigger role in automation.

Update to 0.9.0 to explore Usage Stats, try a folder-triggered Task or Playbook, and bring local documents into your workflow.
