  • The home page downloads less

    Screenshots load only as you reach them.

    Electricity source and water use for each provider.

Minor updates and fixes.

v1.8.0

Live Answers & Claude 5.5

  • Answers appear as they're written

    You see the answer, and each step in progress, while it is being built.

  • Advanced tier gets updated Claude models

    Claude Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 bring cost savings, quicker responses, and improved reasoning. The savings let us raise the Advanced tier's monthly Haiku allowance 4x, from 1 million to 4 million tokens, with no price change.

  • Worth knowing

    Haiku conversations are limited to about 100,000 tokens

    At that point, start a new conversation, or automatic summarization may take place to respect the upper limit.

  • Claude chats show higher energy estimates

    Sonnet's estimate rose; Haiku 5.5 counts more tokens per word.

  • Reasoning switch works with Green Large

    Turning reasoning on can make answers slower and use more tokens and energy.

v1.7.0

Search, Diagrams & Performance

  • The app opens web pages only where sites allow it

    The AI is told to say when a page won't open.

  • A failed web search now says so

  • Downloaded diagram PNGs have a white background

    Dark lines no longer vanish on dark slides.

Smaller changes: lighter page loads, the app stays responsive during PDF export, the Product updates switch shows when saving fails, declining analytics skips the analytics download

v1.6.0

Diagram Quality & Privacy

  • Ask for the chart type you want

    Green models now draw Venn diagrams, 2x2 quadrant charts, Sankey flows, fishbone diagrams and timelines when you ask for them.

  • Diagrams are easier to read

    Stronger chart colors, and tall diagrams show at their own size.

  • Diagrams draw more reliably

  • Diagrams are never sent to an outside service

    Drawing them ourselves gives us more control and better privacy.

Smaller changes: 14 rarely used diagram formats are retired, the drawing examples page shows real answers, a failed profile load keeps you signed in, no stray quote marks in diagram labels

v1.5.1

Diagram and chat fixes

Patch
  • Diagram labels are no longer cut off

  • Claude's charts show their data

  • A failed message isn't saved

  • You stay signed in when chats fail to load

Smaller changes: a stuck diagram gives up after about a minute, a rejected Claude request says so instead of switching models, ASCII-art diagrams are retired

v1.5.0

Reliable Diagrams & Project Memory

  • Diagrams draw reliably again

    Most diagrams now draw on a server we run ourselves.

  • Worth knowing

    Chats in a project can use the project's other chats

    The AI can use relevant parts of your other conversations in the same project, listed under "This project" in its sources. It covers messages sent after this update and any chat you move into a project.

  • Every diagram the AI draws now shows

  • Tidier diagram layouts

    Short labels, no overlapping text, readable Gantt chart dates.

Smaller changes: the privacy policy names our hosting providers, full-screen diagrams size correctly, the AI says when it can't read a file, Back no longer reloads the page, deleted accounts are fully removed, Claude answers after a web search

September 2026

v1.4.1

Sign-in fixes

Patch
  • Worth knowing

    Unconfirmed accounts land on the confirmation page

    Signing in before confirming your email now opens the check-your-email page, which can resend the link. The installed app does the same.

  • Back after sign-out returns to the login page

v1.4.0

Web Search Tools & Message Box

  • More ways to use web search results

    Each result has a menu (Explore, Research, Fact check, Evaluate source) that starts a prompt from it, and a Copy control for its search terms. Ask the assistant to summarize a result page and the summary appears under the result.

  • Message box grows with what you write

    Three sizes, from one line to nearly full screen, with a chevron to switch between them.

  • A menu on each project row

    New chat, note or file upload, without opening the project.

Smaller changes: prices in math expressions display correctly, the profile page shows your access end date after you cancel

v1.3.2

Chat and voice fixes

Patch
  • The installed app's Voice shortcut keeps listening

  • A conversation that fails to load offers Try again

  • The message box stays open in a new chat

Smaller changes: the homepage stays put on a phone, the message box lines up with Send

v1.3.1

Maintenance & Polish

Patch
  • New chats start on a model your plan covers

  • Clearer shortcut icons on the installed app

    Voice moved up, so Android's long-press list shows it.

Smaller changes: signed in, you can stay on the homepage, refusal messages name your plan correctly, a crisper app icon

v1.3.0

Voice Input

  • Speak instead of typing, on every plan

    Tap the microphone, talk, and edit the words before sending. Dictation stops after about two minutes, or twenty seconds of quiet. Audio is transcribed in the EU and not kept.

  • Worth knowing

    Automatic research is now on by default

    Automatic research lets the AI search the web on its own. It was switched on for existing accounts too; turn it off on your profile page or in the + sheet.

  • Hide web search or the microphone

    Choose in the + sheet; each device keeps its own choice.

  • Reasoning remembers your choice

    A new account setting turns it on by default.

Smaller changes: updated theme colors

August 2026

v1.2.0

Sharing Safeguards & Performance

  • Anyone can report a shared page

    A Flag this page control, no sign-in needed.

  • Pages load faster

    Public pages arrive with their text in place, and opening a conversation sends far less data. The chat page's main content arrives about a quarter sooner.

  • Shared pages show the conversation's energy use

    Exported PDFs carry the same line.

  • Scrolling back stays put when a reply arrives

Smaller changes: diagrams draw in temporary chats, messages no longer vanish when you switch chats, restored favorites reappear at once, readable badges and visible keyboard focus

v1.1.0

Conversation Sharing

  • Share a conversation with a link

    Anyone with the link can read it without an account. The page is a snapshot: messages you send later don't appear.

  • Turn off any shared link

    The Shared links card on your profile lists them all.

  • Shared pages leave out your name and files

    Search results become a summary, and search engines are kept out.

  • How we estimate energy, explained

    A new page at /methodology, including what we're unsure of.

Smaller changes: the comparison page cites the current methodology, links to the energy formula work again

v1.0.0

Out of Beta

  • Out of beta

    The Beta badge is gone; the logo and icons are redrawn.

  • The installed app has a Search shortcut

  • Model picker scrolls to every option
