Clawd v1.2.0

Unhinged Mode

Clawd got a personality rewrite. He's now a chaotic little gremlin who roasts, hypes, and says whatever he's thinking.

New

• 8 Inside Out emotions: 😄 😭 😡 😨 🤢 😴 💀 😍
• Emotions menu: Preview all animations from the menu bar
• Unique pixel art effects: tears, anger marks, stink lines, zzz, sweat, skull, sparkles, hearts
• Redesigned sprite faces: each emotion has distinct eyes

Fixed

• Blink no longer flickers during active emotions
• Emotions properly reset after triggering from menu
• No more quoting screen content verbatim

Clawd v1.1.6

Changes

• Chat submenu → Open, New Chat, Screen Context toggle
• Screen Comments submenu → Enabled, Screen Context toggle, interval options
• Each has its own independent Screen Context — turn off chat's without affecting comments and vice versa

Install

Download Clawd.dmg, drag to Applications, launch.

Clawd v1.1.5

Changes

• Screen Context toggle now controls screen access for both chat and random comments
• Turn it off → chat and comments can't see your screen
• Turn on Screen Comments with Screen Context off → Screen Context auto-enables

Install

Download Clawd.dmg, drag to Applications, launch.

Clawd v1.1.4

Changes

• Simplified menu — removed separate Screen Context toggle. "Screen Comments" now handles everything: toggles comments, enables screen capture, and prompts for permission if needed
• Chat always sees your screen — if Screen Recording permission is granted, chat includes a screenshot automatically (no toggle needed)

Install

1. Download Clawd.dmg
2. Drag Clawd to Applications, launch it

Clawd v1.1.3

Fixes

• Click handling — single click after emotions now correctly opens chat instead of triggering more emotions
• Screen Recording — if you dismissed the permission popup, toggling Screen Context in the menu now opens System Settings directly
• Menu state — Screen Context checkmark only shows when permission is actually granted

Install

1. Download Clawd.dmg
2. Open the DMG and drag Clawd to Applications
3. Launch Clawd — it appears in your menu bar
