v3.0.8

# 🚀 Escrcpy 3.0.8 — Smarter Device Control & Automation

Escrcpy 3.0.8 is the **first official public release of the 3.0 series**.

This release focuses on three major directions: **intelligence, automation, and efficient device management**.

It introduces the brand-new **Shortcut module** for faster device operations, enhances the file manager with **Quick Access**, adds **visual recognition-based automation judgment**, and introduces a new **MCP (Model Context Protocol)-based AI automation architecture**.

# ✨ Major Highlights

## ⚡ New Shortcut Module — Instant Device Operations

A brand-new **Shortcut module** is introduced to provide a faster and more convenient way to perform frequently used device operations.

Key capabilities:

* Execute common device actions instantly through keyboard shortcuts
* Perform shortcut operations on specific devices
* Quickly trigger actions including:

  * Start device mirroring
  * Start screen recording
  * Execute frequently used device commands
  * Run automation tasks

The previous scheduled task system has also been redesigned and deeply integrated with the Shortcut module.

By combining instant actions and scheduled automation into a unified workflow system, Escrcpy makes it easier to create, manage, and execute device automation tasks.

From simple quick operations to complex automation workflows, Escrcpy now provides a more efficient device control experience.

## 📁 Enhanced File Manager Experience — Quick Access & Smart Sorting

The file manager has received a major usability upgrade with the introduction of **Quick Access**.

New capabilities:

* Quickly access frequently used files and folders
* Support favorites:

  * Add frequently used files to favorites
  * Add frequently used folders to favorites
* Support recent access history:

  * Quickly return to recently used locations
  * Reduce repeated navigation operations

The default sorting behavior has also been redesigned to better match user expectations:

* Folders are displayed before files
* Items are sorted alphabetically
* Provides a more natural and intuitive browsing experience

These improvements make device file management faster and more efficient.

## 👁️ Visual Recognition for Smarter Automation Scripts

The automation script editor now supports **image recognition-based conditional logic**, enabling smarter and more flexible automation workflows.

New capabilities:

* Detect whether specific content appears on the screen
* Execute different actions based on recognition results
* Build more complex conditional automation processes

Compared with traditional coordinate-based automation, visual recognition provides better adaptability across:

* Different device resolutions
* Different interface layouts
* Dynamic application states

Automation scripts are no longer limited to fixed step execution — they can now analyze device status and respond intelligently.

## 🤖 MCP-Based AI Automation Architecture

Escrcpy 3.0.8 introduces a new **MCP (Model Context Protocol)-based AI automation architecture**.

Compared with traditional solutions built around a single AI model, the new architecture provides a more open and extensible AI integration framework.

Key improvements:

* Support more AI models with visual understanding capabilities
* Remove dependency on a single AI model solution
* Enable more flexible AI capability extensions
* Improve compatibility with future AI ecosystems

New AI management features:

* AI conversation session management
* Custom model configuration
* Custom AI provider support

This release also improves MCP communication and reliability:

* Optimized MCP Client internal logic
* Improved MCP service stability
* Fixed MCP Server startup issues in packaged environments

With MCP architecture, Escrcpy provides a stronger foundation for future intelligent device interaction.

## 🎮 Complete Keyboard & Mouse Mapping Reconstruction

The keyboard and mouse mapping system has been completely redesigned to provide a more stable and natural control experience.

This release addresses several historical issues:

* Fixed touch interruption during long-press mappings
* Improved multi-touch support
* Enhanced stability in complex input scenarios
* Improved overall mapping experience

The new mapping system provides more reliable control, especially for gaming and scenarios requiring complex interactions.

## ⚙️ Preference System Redesign

The global and device-specific configuration system has been redesigned.

Improvements include:

* Reorganized configuration structure
* Clearer separation between global settings and device settings
* Improved configuration management logic
* More intuitive settings experience

This resolves previous issues where configuration relationships were difficult to understand and manage.

Users can now easily find, modify, and manage Escrcpy settings.
