Newly CLI, redesigned sidebar, per-project social sign-in, Backend tab in Agent Activity, and more

​
New features

  • Newly CLI — Pull your project’s backend code, deploy to dev or prod, and manage logs, secrets, and the database from your terminal. See the CLI guide.
  • Redesigned project sidebar and UI — New left sidebar categorization, refreshed projects panel, updated preview controls and sizing, a movable support window, and refreshed styling, fonts, and backgrounds across the project view.
  • Backend tab in the Agent Activity panel — A new Backend tab surfaces backend status alongside the agent’s work, so you can see what’s happening on your server without leaving the activity view.
  • Per-project social sign-in (Google and Apple) — A new web OAuth bridge lets each project run its own Google and Apple sign-in flow, so end users of your app sign in with credentials scoped to that project.
  • New RevenueCat connection flow — A rebuilt connection flow auto-creates your paywall, products, entitlements, and screenshots when you link a RevenueCat project. See the RevenueCat integration.
  • Earn 10 credits for completing the in-app survey — Finishing the PostHog survey now drops 10 prompt credits into your account automatically.

​
Updates

  • Auto-repair for missing packages — Before the dev server starts, the project runner now detects missing dependencies and reinstalls them, so previews start cleanly instead of failing on a missing package.
  • Builds are paused while the agent is working — Starting a build is now blocked while the agent is mid-edit to avoid shipping a half-finished change, and the EAS fallback UI has been polished when a build can’t run.
  • Status banner now links to the status page — The top-of-page health banner now points directly to the Newly status page so you can check incident details in one click.
  • Free tier sidebar cleanup — The Support button is hidden from the project sidebar for free-tier users to keep the navigation focused on what’s available on your plan.
  • Earlier alerts on dependency install failures — The project runner now flags failed dependency installs immediately so the agent can recover instead of silently continuing with a broken environment.

​
Bug fixes

  • Fixed the RevenueCat connect flow so project-scoped OAuth tokens are handled correctly and no longer break the link step.
  • Blocked malicious package.json install lifecycle hooks from running inside project sandboxes.
  • Fixed the project health endpoint so the status banner reflects the real state of the system.
