New features
- Clone and duplicate projects — You can now clone any of your existing projects to quickly spin up a new one based on what you’ve already built. Great for experimenting with variations or starting from a working template.
- In-app guided tours — Interactive walkthroughs are now available across the editor. Get step-by-step onboarding for the code editor, visual editor, database panel, logs, GitHub integration, app settings, and permissions — all without leaving Newly.
- Automatic runtime error detection — The AI agent now detects runtime errors and type issues in your app automatically. When something breaks, the agent catches it and can help you fix it without needing to copy-paste error messages. Learn more
- Integration setup flows — Connecting Supabase, RevenueCat, and OneSignal to your project now comes with step-by-step guided flows that walk you through the setup process. Learn more
- Delete all projects — A new option lets you delete all of your projects at once from your account settings.
Updates
- Redesigned agent activity panel — The panel that shows what the AI agent is doing has been completely redesigned for better clarity and readability.
- AI follow-up questions in the chat input — When the AI asks you a clarifying question, it now appears directly in the chat input area so you can respond inline without scrolling.
- Ask mode and Plan mode pricing — Ask and Plan mode messages now cost 0.1 credits each, making it more affordable to explore your codebase and plan changes before building.
- Improved App Store Connect experience — The credential management flow for App Store Connect has been refined with clearer UX, making it easier to connect your account and manage certificates. Learn more
- Smoother preview experience — The web preview no longer flashes white on reload. Loading states and error boundaries have been improved so you see helpful feedback instead of blank screens.
- Smart native module detection — When your project uses native modules, Newly now automatically disables the web preview and Expo Go options to avoid confusing errors. Learn more
- Scrollable project sidebar — The sidebar now supports infinite scrolling, so you can browse all your projects without pagination.
- Database panel loading states — The database panel now shows skeleton loaders while data is being fetched, making it feel more responsive.
- Prompt input blocked during backend deploy — The chat input is now disabled while a backend deployment is running, preventing accidental changes mid-deploy.
