0.9.58

A colleague's assistants keep the owner's settings, and a no stays a no

  • Mac
  • Windows

1 new · 4 better · 13 fixed

New

  • On Windows, this update also brings everything in 0.9.57 and 0.9.56 (the Mac got them on 26 and 25 October).

Better

  • An assistant's version for a colleague's position never runs commands more freely than the assistant itself.
  • After the owner changes how such a version works, the Team page says what is in force and mentions a restart only when one is due.
  • Settings, Approvals names each assistant's version for a colleague's position by the assistant and the position, as the Team page does.
  • Asked to give out work on a project with no plan, an assistant says so before any card and offers to put a plan on it.

Fixed

  • When an approval card gets no yes, the assistant's reply now starts with a line that says what did not run.
  • After a card is declined or runs out of time, the assistant says the step needed the owner's yes, instead of blaming an outage.
  • A request that runs out of time says so in its own assistant's conversation, even while another conversation is open.
  • A check-in held behind a waiting card tells the owner about it, also right after Maxiful opens.
  • The owner's stricter setting for an assistant's version for a colleague's position stays in force, instead of going back seconds later.
  • On the Mac, with Full assistant, a colleague's assistants for their position open files in the folder kept for it, with no restart.
  • A colleague's assistants for their position can set reminders; Maxiful makes the one restart this needs by itself, when quiet.
  • In the menus for starting a conversation, the arrow keys skip an assistant's versions for colleagues' positions, which they do not show.
  • Choosing English again in Settings reaches every page within seconds, the side menu and Projects included.
  • A Marketplace skill whose own name differs from its listing confirms after Add, instead of asking to add it again.
  • After Reports to moves an automation, its open page follows it, so Run now runs it instead of saying it was not found.
  • A command that reads every skill's files no longer raises a card to make a new skill named *.
  • A newly added or hired assistant is made ready in full, even while Maxiful is still setting up its memory.

0.9.57

Additions keep the document, and reminders are held while Maxiful is closed

  • Mac

1 new · 11 better · 9 fixed

New

  • On Windows, this update also brings everything in 0.9.56 (the Mac got 0.9.56 on 25 October).

Better

  • The card that moves an assistant from Reads only to Asks first says it can then also change files: in its workspace, or any it can reach.
  • A command card reads a command handed to the command prompt or a shell (cmd /c, sh -c) as the command it runs, and says what that does.
  • An Allow that did not reach the assistant is used once for the same request asked again, from the phone or a chat app too.
  • The owner's What you decided lists each time Maxiful used such an Allow again, and who gave it.
  • Asked for a service Maxiful does not list, an assistant offers what it can do now or with the owner's yes, not asking for a key in chat.
  • To reach another of the owner's assistants not yet connected, an assistant asks to open Connections at Another assistant of yours.
  • When the model does not answer a message from a chat app, routine or hand-off, the owner's window says so too, while Maxiful keeps trying.
  • The Library guide to models describes Effort as it is: each model's own levels plus Ultra, or Off and Ultra for a model with none.
  • A reminder's confirmation gives its day, date and time in the person's time zone, in a chat app too, above a reply naming another weekday.
  • While the team runs, Maxiful no longer runs a slow check of its setup, which on a large team could take minutes of a processor core.
  • A suggested next message that names a password, API key or token, or holds a blank in brackets, is never shown.

Fixed

  • An assistant's proposed addition to a knowledge document goes at its end and keeps everything in it; the card shows how it will read.
  • Taking a task out of a project's plan asks the owner on a card first, naming the task, however the assistant goes about it.
  • With the Maxiful app closed, a new reminder is held and set when Maxiful opens, within 7 days and at least a minute before its time.
  • Maxiful keeps the computer awake while a routine or a check-in runs, as it does while an assistant works.
  • A lighter model standing in for the usual one says plainly what it cannot do, instead of answering with a tool call written out as text.
  • When the model declines a request, or the request is stopped before it reaches the model, the conversation says so once, not twice.
  • Around a clock change, a colleague's team calendar shows exactly their own week and the four after it.
  • On Windows, a check Maxiful runs on the team's setup ends when Maxiful quits, instead of running on.
  • The owner's Always allow, chosen while the Maxiful app is closed, is now kept for when it opens.

0.9.56

Assistants hand work to the owner's other assistants, and lighter check-ins

  • Mac

6 new · 18 better · 26 fixed

New

  • The owner's assistants can hand a task to another assistant of the owner's and bring back its answer, after the owner's yes on a card.
  • In Connections, each of the owner's other assistants keeps its address and the key it gave; Remove takes both away.
  • A file in a reply has Save to Library beside Download and Open.
  • Settings, Access has the owner's switch for whether assistants can look through all conversations on this computer, to learn from past work.
  • Maxiful suggests a next message just above the message box; choosing it fills the box and never sends. The owner can turn it off.
  • Support checks each assistant's stored conversations and, with the owner's yes, repairs damaged ones.

Better

  • The Chief of Staff's check-in runs apart from the conversation, using far less of the allowance, and hands its alert back there.
  • Settings, Advanced has the owner's switch to let the Chief of Staff's check-ins read the whole conversation again.
  • Memories shows what an assistant kept on its own overnight, night by night, apart from what was written down along the way.
  • When the AI model does not answer, the conversation says so within about 90 seconds, and its stop notice says why.
  • The Marketplace says who made a skill Maxiful lists but did not write, with its licence and where it came from.
  • Let in offers the assistants of the colleague's position, ticked, and gives the ones the owner leaves ticked.
  • With the Maxiful app closed, assistants can list, move, stop and remove reminders; a new one is held and set when the app opens.
  • The owner's Always allow, chosen while the Maxiful app is closed, is kept for when it opens, and the card says so.
  • In a Read Only conversation, a command is refused at once, in words naming the Read Only choice and where to change it.
  • When a conversation switches to the lighter model because the allowance is used up, its line says so and when it starts again.
  • A lesson an assistant learned is said in plain words on its card and in the Skill Workshop, never as a file name.
  • Correcting a skill from the Skill Workshop asks to update that skill, instead of writing a second skill with the same name.
  • After the owner declines a skill card, a later change to that skill in the same turn asks again instead of being written.
  • With terminal commands switched off, an assistant no longer shows a level card that could not help; it points to Settings, Permissions.
  • A card for a turn that ran a command which may have gone online says so; a command that never started does not count as going online.
  • Assistants know who the owner paused or stopped and that they are still on the team; a new assistant cannot take such a name.
  • When a routine's own model does not answer and another model runs it, the routine's conversation says so.
  • A document promoted to a knowledge base names the assistant it came from by the name people know it by.

Fixed

  • A colleague's conversation opens and their messages are sent, instead of waiting with no answer.
  • Letting in a new colleague no longer fails partway, saying the limits for colleagues could not be written.
  • Letting a colleague in from the owner's phone, or by Always let in, also gives them the assistants the card offers.
  • Choosing a teammate as a task's Who hands the task to them, instead of sending it back to the assistant.
  • A colleague who has joined is no longer called not joined yet on cards and in the planner.
  • On a project shared with a colleague, they see every task waiting for their assistant.
  • A colleague's Ask for it in the Marketplace reaches the owner, and the row reads Asked.
  • The owner's Allow on a card is no longer lost when a setting changes while the card waits.
  • The first message to a just-hired assistant is answered, and the hire no longer sits on Adding it for minutes.
  • Connections says Installed, sign-in expired once Claude Code's sign-in has ended.
  • Saving a web search key while the team runs finishes, instead of never completing.
  • After the owner changes an assistant's model, its routines still run, instead of being refused until the team restarts.
  • A Confidential mark on a knowledge base works after the team restarts.
  • A busy team is no longer restarted as if it had stopped, and a start that sticks is started again once.
  • A routine missed in the last two hours, or an overnight memory pass in the last twelve, runs once when the team starts again.
  • On Windows, changing the language in Settings reaches every page, switching back to English included.
  • Read aloud speaks a reply in that assistant's own voice, and says so when it cannot play.
  • An approval card past its time says it expired, names what did not run, and says how to ask again.
  • In Inbox, an approval for a command names the command itself.
  • A card to move a reminder gives the new time in words in the person's own time zone, and never asks for a time the move refuses.

  • On a new install, the first window shows Max's specialty and each model's own Effort levels without a relaunch.
  • Effort keeps each model's own levels from launch to launch.
  • Start your team starts a team set up in the same session, without reopening Maxiful.
  • Saving a local model server no longer leaves the team failing every reply.
  • Support lists a connection that keeps failing to start, with the reason, instead of showing nothing wrong.

Held actions reach the owner's card, and check-ins say things once

  • Mac
  • Windows

6 better · 6 fixed

Better

  • A check-in mentions actions waiting for the owner when one is new, and otherwise at most once a day, instead of at every check-in.
  • In Mail, a send's card names every address and the subject; one whose addresses Maxiful cannot read is refused before any card.
  • Every assistant knows how payments work in Maxiful: what waits for the owner's yes, the purchase limit, and when every payment asks.
  • Settings, Appearance speaks plainly: Light or dark, the Chroma theme, and a tweakcn.com theme import that applies on this computer only.
  • The account menu says Workload again, and in the owner's menu Usage opens Settings, Account, Subscription.
  • Max answers to his name in group chats routed to him, as hired assistants already do.

Fixed

  • Slack starts again: every channel's plugin now matches this version, and Maxiful brings older ones up to date on its next launch.
  • An action an assistant held during a check-in or an automation reaches the owner as a card, in Inbox and in its conversation.
  • Conversations show an assistant by its name, such as Max, as their owner and among who is taking part, not as main.

Spiris for your books, and purchases that ask the owner first

  • Mac
  • Windows

4 new · 8 better · 10 fixed

New

  • Spiris (formerly Visma eEkonomi) is in Connections, under Money and books: assistants read your books and prepare drafts on their own.
  • In Spiris, booking, sending, recording a payment and voiding wait for the owner's yes; Settings, Approvals can always allow them.
  • Settings, Approvals has a limit for purchases without a card, per day, week or month, for the assistants the owner lets pay.
  • On Windows, this update also brings everything in 0.9.51 (the Mac got 0.9.51 on 23 October).

Better

  • Paying or placing an order on a website or in an Android phone app asks the owner under Move money; browsing and adding to the cart do not.
  • A payment's card says how much, in what currency and to whom, or that Maxiful could not read the amount.
  • While Ask again is on, once an assistant has read an email, web page or file in a turn, every payment in it asks the owner.
  • With Always allow, a Stripe refund or invoice charge whose amount Maxiful cannot read still asks the owner.
  • Connect waits up to ten minutes for a sign-in to Fortnox or an app such as Stripe or Notion to finish.
  • Fortnox Disconnect restarts your team to sign out, once no assistant is mid-reply; the restart can take a few minutes.
  • In Knowledge, a waiting proposal whose text is hidden says Show the text to decide, beside Add and Discard.
  • Planning's switched-off board says that switching it on in Plugins can take a minute.

Fixed

  • Connect signs in to apps such as Stripe, Notion and Fortnox while your team runs, instead of saying it could not start the sign-in.
  • Opening an assistant's chat by its address opens that assistant's conversation, never another assistant's.
  • Settings, Skills opens on the assistant its address names.
  • A message to a stopped or paused assistant is answered with a plain line saying so and how to let it work again, not an error.
  • Planning labels a routine that runs when a command finishes Once, as its form says.
  • On Windows, an update finishes cleanly, and the next launch does not restart your team.
  • On Windows, diagrams in replies are drawn.
  • On Windows, Ctrl+F in a conversation marks each match and moves to it; Enter and Shift+Enter step through them.
  • On Windows, opening Maxiful while an update finishes says it is updating, and opens when it is done.
  • On Windows, an install or update waits out a file another program holds for a moment, instead of stopping with Access is denied.

0.9.51

  • Mac

4 new · 21 better · 3 fixed

New

  • After outside content, a card for a lookup or a plain read command no longer says it changes files or reaches the internet.
  • When an approval card goes unanswered, the assistant says it was waiting for the owner's yes.
  • When the owner presses Don't allow, the assistant says the owner declined, not that something failed.
  • Moving a colleague to another position waits for the reply they are waiting for, so it is not cut off.
  • An assistant's copy for a colleague's position stays quiet until that colleague first writes to it.
  • Let in, on the card and in People, asks which position to give someone who has none yet.
  • History lists each person let in without asking, and each time the owner turns that switch on or off.
  • Settings, Access asks Change it or Keep my current choice before a move, so widening back to the whole computer is clear.

  • In those apps, anything an assistant would change waits for the owner's yes first.
  • Assistants can read files from your Google Drive, PDFs included.
  • Once the owner lets them write in Google, they can make folders and upload or update files there after the owner's yes.
  • In Settings, Account, the owner can allow AI providers that may train on conversations. Off by default; never while Google is connected.

Better

  • Your assistants run on an early release of OpenClaw 2026.10.10, the newer engine under Maxiful.
  • On Maxiful's model service, your conversations go only to AI providers that promise not to train on them, unless the owner allows otherwise.
  • Rebuild the memory search index, Erase what your assistants remember and Forget what it learned finish, with a short restart of your team.

  • A stopped team says so, with Start your team; a team that is reconnecting says that instead.
  • A project's Tracker shows who does each task, where it stands and what it waits for.
  • Your assistants' browser starts once it is allowed, even after a fresh install, and Team says whether it is running.

Fixed

  • Pages keep your place when they refresh, and answering a confirmation no longer moves the page.
  • Planning shows a connected Microsoft 365 calendar; a calendar that cannot be read says what to do.
  • An approval card past its time says it expired and that nothing ran, and the same card is not raised twice while the first still waits.

Better

  • Your assistants run on a newer OpenClaw, the engine under Maxiful: 2026.10.10, an early release.
  • Connections and Knowledge work on the new OpenClaw; a Forget or a saved key can take effect at a short restart, and the page says so.

  • A card you pass to someone else waits up to a day for their answer.
