# Changelog

> What changed in each AppBlips release, newest first.

Each entry lists what changed in that version of AppBlips, newest first. To get the latest version, see [Install the desktop app](https://docs.appblips.com/quickstart-desktop.md) or [Run from source](https://docs.appblips.com/quickstart-source.md). Downloads for every release are on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/TechMitten/app-blips/releases).

**0.1.14**

October 23, 2026

## New

* **Full size preview.** A **Full size** button next to the device sizes drops the window frame and shows your page at its real size, filling the whole preview area. It works in every studio.
* **About tab in Settings.** **Settings → About** shows the AppBlips version you're running (desktop app or browser version), links to the website and source code, and a **Report a bug** link that opens a new issue on GitHub.

## Improved

* **Preview toolbar:** Rotate, Full size and a new **Reload** button are always in the same place, so the toolbar no longer shifts when you switch devices. Buttons that don't apply to the current view are greyed out.
* **Phone and tablet previews:** no desktop-style browser bar, just like a real phone or tablet. While the AI is testing your page, its status and **Stop** button appear in the preview toolbar instead.
* **Images in games:** the Game Studio can use Pollinations to make title art, backgrounds and sprites.
* **Questions about connectors:** in Ask mode, the AI knows which services you've connected, instead of wrongly saying it can't use them.
* **Guided tour:** updated for Publish, Full size, Reload, importing a site and **Settings → Connectors**. Imported sites get their own steps.

## Look and feel

* In the dark theme, the live code card on the building screen has a soft white border instead of a red one.
* The guided tour's cards stand out clearly against the dark theme.

**0.1.13**

October 23, 2026

## New

* **Pollinations connector for AI images and AI features.** Connect your [Pollinations](https://github.com/pollinations/pollinations) account in **Settings → Connectors → Pollinations**, then ask the AI for:

  * **Generated images:** custom pictures instead of stock photos. When you publish or export, the images are copied into your site, so they stay online with it.
  * **AI features:** chatbots, writing helpers, image generators and more, inside the websites and apps you build. You choose who pays when visitors use them: **Visitors use their own Pollen** (the default) or **My key pays**.

  The AI only uses Pollinations when you ask for images or AI features. Your sign-in stays inside AppBlips and is never written into your projects. Using Pollinations through AppBlips costs 25% more than using it directly, and the extra supports AppBlips. See [Connectors](https://docs.appblips.com/features/connectors.md).
* **Token usage in the chat.** Each reply shows how many tokens it used, and a live counter counts up while the AI works. Both are marked "(estimate)", because AI providers count tokens differently.

## Improved

* **Surge in Connectors:** a Surge tile in **Settings → Connectors** lets you sign in, create an account or sign out without publishing anything.
* **Sharing a published site:** the share buttons in the **Publish** window show each service's logo.
* **Onboarding:** setup is split into three short steps: your name, your chat avatar, then your AI provider.
* **Code tab:** shown by default.
* **Chat bubbles:** the rewind button sits inside your message, next to copy. The copy button is easier to see in the dark theme.
* **Renamed button:** "Browser view" is now **Preview**.

## Look and feel

* New wave-and-blip app icon, shown next to the AppBlips name throughout the app.
* Refreshed preview background in dark mode.
* The building screen is easier to read in the light theme.
* Connector icons no longer sit on a coloured square.

## For developers

* `npm run dev` only answers on your own computer (localhost). Use `npm run dev -- --host` to open it to your network.

**0.1.12**

October 22, 2026

## Improved

* **Updates for the Microsoft Store version:** AppBlips now tells you when a new version is out and links to its Store page, since the Store can take a few days to install it on its own.

## Look and feel

* The build pane uses neutral greys in the dark theme. Your messages and the AI's replies are easier to tell apart.
* The message box has more contrast in the dark theme, and **Send** lights up when there is text to send.

**0.1.11**

October 22, 2026

## New

* **Publish to the web with Surge.** One click puts an app, website or game online at a free `<name>.surge.sh` address with HTTPS. Sign in to (or create) your own Surge account in the **Publish** window. A project that's already online shows **Update site** and **Unpublish**. See [Publishing](https://docs.appblips.com/features/publishing.md).
* **More connectors:** Square (payment links for buy, pay and donate buttons), tawk.to (live chat), and Umami and Plausible (visitor analytics).
* **Prompts to try:** every connector page has ready-made requests with **Copy** buttons.
* **Request a connector:** a form at the end of **Settings → Connectors** sends your suggestion to the AppBlips team.

## Improved

* **Starter ideas:** each studio has dozens of ideas, shuffled every launch. Browse them with the arrow keys or by swiping.
* **Copy buttons** in every chat bubble.
* **Onboarding** asks for your name and a chat avatar.
* **Factory reset** now replays first-run setup.
* **Theme toggle** (sun and moon) on the studio picker.

## Look and feel

* Restyled preview toolbar, with readable buttons in the light theme.
* Connector cards show each service's logo and link to its website.
* Brand-red accents on the studio picker and the selected preview device.

**0.1.10**

October 22, 2026

## New

* **Connectors.** A new **Settings → Connectors** tab lists services the AI can wire into your projects, starting with Web3Forms: with it turned on, forms in your sites send their entries to you. Each connector has a **How it works** dialog.
* **Licenses** tab in Settings, listing the open source software AppBlips includes.
* **Setup steps after a build.** When a project needs something only you can supply, such as an API key, the AI's last message ends with numbered steps.

## Improved

* **Code Review** asks **Fix problems** or **Not now** before fixing anything. Its screenshots cover whole pages, and every problem it reports must point to a screenshot that shows it.
* Settings asks you to confirm before clearing your saved AI provider.
* The first-visit tour invitation goes away on its own.
* The project name is treated as a name, not as instructions for the AI.
* Fixed: the Linux `.deb` package showed a generic icon in the launcher.
* A security issue was fixed.

## Look and feel

* Light themes for the studio picker, the first-build screen and the building phone.
* New AppBlips wordmark on the studio picker, setup and empty preview screens.
* The setup screen has a monochrome look and works properly on phones.
* Interface text can no longer be highlighted by accident. Chat messages and fields can still be selected and copied.

**0.1.9**

October 19, 2026

## Improved

* **Windows:** AppBlips for Windows now comes only from the Microsoft Store, which is signed and updates itself. GitHub releases no longer include a Windows installer.
* **Projects folder:** new installs save projects in AppData instead of Documents. Existing installs keep their folder.
* **Code Review** is marked beta and is off by default for new installs.
* The preview's address bar shows your project name.
* A Discord link was added to the studio picker.
* Fixed: the preview lost its scroll bar after applying a click-to-edit change.
* Docker: the voice input model is no longer downloaded again on every rebuild.

**0.1.8**

October 18, 2026

## New

* **Microsoft Store version** for Windows 10 (version 1809) and later.
* **Voice input.** Speak your prompt into the microphone. Speech is turned into text on your own computer, so no audio leaves it.
* **Paste screenshots** straight into the message box.

## Improved

* **Anthropic** is the default AI provider, and prompt caching makes repeat requests to it cheaper.
* **Build mode** answers questions instead of changing your project when you only ask something.
* **Drag to move** is smoother, and the preview no longer flashes when it updates.
* The live code window stays visible for the whole build.
* Updates install quietly and restart AppBlips.
* New app icon.

**0.1.7**

October 11, 2026

## Improved

* The **Reasoning** setting (previously "Reasoning: building") also applies to edits and automatic repairs.
* More safety checks when importing a site from a `.zip`.
* A legal footer was added to the studio picker.

**0.1.6**

October 10, 2026

## New

* **Browser version.** Run AppBlips from source or with Docker and use it in your browser. See [Run from source](https://docs.appblips.com/quickstart-source.md) and [Docker](https://docs.appblips.com/self-hosting/docker.md).

## Improved

* **Review** checks your app at mobile, tablet and desktop sizes and reports layout problems such as sideways scrolling, broken images and missing labels.
* **Reasoning** for builds defaults to Low.
* Fixed: click-to-edit failed on text that contained styled words.
* Security fixes found by code scanning.

**0.1.5**

October 10, 2026

## New

* **Import a site.** Open your own React + Vite project from a `.zip`, edit it with the AI and export it again. A **Files** tab lets you browse and preview its files. See [Importing sites](https://docs.appblips.com/features/importing-sites.md).
* **Anthropic** as an AI provider.
* **Output tokens** setting under **Settings → AI**.

## Improved

* Long builds no longer get cut off halfway: AppBlips asks for more room and continues replies that stop early.
* Clearer messages when error checking finds a problem.
* Fixed: a false "unsaved changes" warning.

## For developers

* <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>I</kbd> opens the developer tools in the desktop app.

**0.1.4**

October 10, 2026

## New

* **React apps.** The App studio builds apps with React.

## Improved

* Better review after each build.

**0.1.3**

October 7, 2026

## New

* **More AI providers:** connect directly to OpenAI, Gemini or DeepSeek, alongside OpenRouter, or use a model on your own computer with LM Studio or Ollama.
* **Model lists:** load and refresh the models your provider offers, or type a model ID yourself.

## Improved

* Device previews show your computer's current time.
* Each release includes a `SHA256SUMS.txt` file so you can check your download. See [Code signing policy](https://docs.appblips.com/reference/code-signing-policy.md).

**0.1.2**

October 7, 2026

## Improved

* **Desktop only.** AppBlips became a single-user desktop app. The online studio, with its accounts and paid plans, was removed, and **Export** became the way to take your app out of AppBlips.
* A first-run setup screen helps you connect your own AI key.
* Fixed: some generated apps crashed because two copies of Preact loaded.

**0.1.1**

October 7, 2026

## New

* First tagged release. It included the App, Website and Game studios, a live preview with phone, tablet and desktop frames, click-to-edit and drag to move, Build and Ask modes, version history, and export to HTML or ZIP.
