What's new

Yuan changes most weeks. Here's what shipped.

  1. 2026-07-29

    One workspace per app#

    Improved

    Build, versions, schedules and settings are now four tabs on one page. Switching tabs leaves a running build alone.

  2. 2026-07-24

    Per-visitor data in shared apps#

    New

    A published app can keep each visitor's rows to themselves, so people see only what they wrote. Sharing one set of data across everyone still works the same way.

    When your app stores data, the Builder asks which one you want:

    • Per visitor: to-dos, expense logs, habit trackers
    • Shared: guestbooks, sign-up forms, shared boards

    A published app can be switched to per-visitor. Not back: visitors wrote those rows expecting only they could see them.

  3. 2026-07-18

    QR codes inside your app#

    New

    There's a QR code component. Point it at a link, or at a file your app generated so that scanning downloads it. Tickets, coupons and check-in passes all work this way.

  4. 2026-07-17

    Apps can have several pages#

    New

    An app used to be one screen. It can now have a home page, a list page and a detail page, with navigation between them.

    Navbar and footer components#

    New

    A top navbar, a footer, and section anchors the navbar can jump to. Useful for landing pages, event pages and small sites.

  5. 2026-07-13

    Your app can generate images#

    New

    Write a sentence, get an image. Results can be stored in your app's data and used as a cover, an illustration or an avatar. Generation runs against a monthly allowance you can see on the usage page.

    Every generated app has its own look#

    Improved

    Each app picks its own palette, type pairing and layout skeleton, and sometimes a piece of key art. Run the same brief twice and the two apps look different.

  6. 2026-07-10

    Works on a phone now#

    Improved

    On narrow screens the sidebars and Builder panels become drawers, and generated apps collapse their layout. Editing an app and publishing it from a phone works.

    Notification center#

    New

    A failed schedule, one that got auto-disabled, or an error inside a running app collects into a single notification in the notification center.

    Published apps get a page search engines can find#

    Improved

    Every public app has an intro page covering what it does, what's in it and common questions. Apps that clear gallery review enter the sitemap. Links you share carry a cover image.

  7. 2026-07-09

    Apps can send email#

    New

    An app can send its own mail: one when someone submits a form, one when a schedule finishes. Sending runs against a monthly allowance.

  8. 2026-07-03

    Apps can read the files people upload#

    New

    Upload a PDF, a document or a photo and the AI inside your app can pull out the text, read the image, and use either to summarize, sort or fill in a table.

    Six new connections: Discord, Telegram, Notion, Airtable, weather, market data#

    New

    Six more services in the connections page. Your app can post to Discord and Telegram, read and write Notion and Airtable, and look up weather and crypto prices.

  9. 2026-06-14

    Scheduled tasks: your app runs when the time comes#

    New

    Give an app a cadence (hourly, at set times daily, weekly) and it runs a sequence on its own: fetch data, let the AI work on it, write to a table, send the email.

    A few uses:

    • A morning digest email built from a few sources
    • An hourly price check that pings you past a threshold
    • A Monday report summarizing last week's records

    New schedules start switched off. You turn them on from the Schedules tab of the app's workspace once you've read them over.

  10. 2026-06-12

    Connections: wiring an app to the outside world#

    New

    Skills are now called Connections, and they take variables. An API key is stored encrypted and handed to the app at run time, so it stays out of the app's own content.
