v4.1.0
October 25, 2026 · Included in v4.1.1- fixClear Writer messages immediately after saving, while preserving failed sends and any new draft typed during a reply.

v3.4.0
October 2026- featureSimpler plans: Free, Starter ($4) and Pro ($9). Ultra is now part of Pro, and Starter gets goals, more spaces and cloud sync.
- featureWriters learn from you: every suggestion you accept or reject teaches the writer who made it, and what they learn about one project stays with that project.
- featureSmarter writers on a newer model, and quick questions get answers in a second or two instead of a long pause.
- featureEach writer has a color on their messages and suggestions, and a status line shows what they are reading.
- improvementThe writer thread scrolls with new replies as they arrive, and stays put when you scroll up to reread.
- fixSuggested replacements now land on the text you highlight, instead of going stale.
v3.3.2
September 2026- featureWriters work on every document: documents saved on your computer (the free plan default) now get the full Writers panel and inline suggestions, not just synced ones.
- featureSync a local document to the cloud and your writer conversation comes with it — messages, suggestions and the writers you added.
v3.3.1
September 2026- fixWriters now appear in the desktop app: the Writers page, the Writers panel in Spaces, projects and documents, and inline writer suggestions were missing from the v3.2 and v3.3 downloads.
v3.3
September 2026- improvementSmoother everywhere: menus, the command palette and dialogs now animate in and out, pages fade between each other, and opening a document eases into the editor. Reduced-motion settings are respected.
- improvementOne look across the app: Spaces, Work, Goals, Insights, Writers and Memory share the same header and layout, and small text is larger and easier to read.
- improvementClear AI roles: Writers are your writing team, Page agents draft on a Space canvas, and the Assistant helps inside the editor.
- improvementMemory in one place: your writing style, what the Assistant learned and what each writer remembers now live together on the Memory page.
- improvementWriters show a live “Thinking…” state while they work, and the Thread explains itself when it is empty.
- improvementSpace briefs wrap onto new lines as you type (Shift+Enter for a new line), and the editor toolbar wraps so every tool stays reachable.
- improvementMarketplace templates get their own previews, and plan limits are shown before you fill in a form, not after.
- fixDialogs now cover the whole window, the avatar opens your account instead of signing you out, Spaces pagination is correct, and the goals widget no longer shows a goal you never set.
v3.2
September 2026- featureAI Writers: create your own writing team — each writer has a persona, a skill, a memory and a unique hand-drawn face. Starter writers (Drafter, Editor, Continuity) are ready on day one.
- featureTalk to your writers everywhere: a Writers panel in every Space, project and document. @mention a writer (the picker pops up as you type), or just reply to the one you were talking to; writers can hand off to each other.
- featureWriters propose, you decide: suggested edits appear inline in the editor — removed text struck through in red, new text in green — and nothing changes until you accept.
- featureInsights: a dedicated page for your writing stats, weekly activity and Your Voice progress. Goals now has its own page for creating and tracking goals.
- improvementOne navigation: the sidebar and top bar now list the same sections in the same order, and AI roles are labelled clearly — Writers for your writing team, Research for the research agent, Page agents for a Space canvas.
- improvementInline suggestions are finally visible: Scribe edits, diagnostic fixes and writer proposals are highlighted instead of blending into your prose.
- improvementClearer plans: free accounts see an upgrade prompt when they reach the Space limit or try Goals, instead of a silent failure, and the plan badge shows your real plan.
- improvementAccurate AI usage: usage is metered from the provider’s own token counts (including reasoning), across every AI feature including research.
- fixBilling reliability: plans are matched to the purchased product, so renaming a product can never downgrade a paying customer.
v3.1
September 2026- featureWork factory: production boards that run a whole writing pipeline — author phase graphs with named outcomes, run phases against project items through Spaces, and compare or merge multi-attempt agent drafts at human checkpoints.
- featureLore extraction with the model: entities are read by the LLM, not a capital-letter regex, with relevance-ranked memory recall and paraphrase dedup.
- featureSerene focus mode: the editor floats forward over a blurred desk with its panels intact — exit restores everything exactly, via toggle, backdrop, or Escape.
- improvementScribe is context-aware: full-document grounding, no-suggestion zones for headings/lists/code/references, per-zone dismissal learning, faster suggestions at sentence boundaries, and reasoning disabled so completions stop coming back empty.
- improvementAI Review hardening: save failures now name the offending field instead of a bare validator error, and the review agent follows the same tier-aware model path as every other agent.
- improvementCost-effective models: Ultra/Business Scribe runs GPT-5.6 Luna (3.75x cheaper than the mini it replaced); standard tier stays on DeepSeek V4 Flash.
v3.0
August 2026- featureBook companion panel: a resizable half-window beside your writing with live book preview, chapter structure, goal pacing, project-wide version history, and the KDP readiness checklist. Available on every book project, in the editor and in Spaces.
- featureVersion history, elevated: project-wide snapshots grouped by day with word-count deltas, snapshot search, paragraph-level compare against your live draft, and a two-step restore that snapshots first.
- featureAI publish assist: drafts your Amazon book description and seven KDP keywords straight from your manuscript — metered against your plan, saved into your publishing profile.
- featurePDF and Word exports for whole projects, with format-accurate previews: see the print serif or Word styling before you download.
- featureSpaces came alive: agents carry identities and show live status while writing, generated cover art banners, one-click starters on empty projects, pass-completion celebrations, and an activity feed of everything your agents did.
- featureDurable agent memory: characters, plot decisions and style notes persist across sessions and flow into Spaces — visible and editable on the Memory page.
- featureConflict-safe saves: editing from two tabs or devices can no longer silently overwrite work — overlapping edits surface as accept/reject choices.
- featureStay signed in: the desktop app now remembers you across launches. Logout stays honest.
- featureDaily goal reminders and a support contact form — reach the team without leaving the site.
v2.9
August 2026- featureLocal-first desktop: documents save to your device instantly and sync to the cloud — offline-safe, with per-plan cloud storage.
- featureDocument tabs: open editors stay alive, switch instantly, and reorder — with an Open Editors sidebar section and nested folders.
- featureAI Agent overhaul: questions and edits are routed separately, every edit is a reviewable inline proposal with Apply All, and the agent produces structured deliverables (plans, briefs, analyses).
- featureAgent tools: expert writing skills (revision, plot structure, character consistency, style match), MCP servers (memory, files, library search), and computer use — a real browser for research.
- featureOffline voice dictation: local Whisper models (Tiny/Base/Small) with a live waveform — your words never leave the device.
- featurePlan-tiered models: DeepSeek V4 Flash for all plans; Ultra and Business get GPT-5.6 Luna for the assistant and agent.
v2.8
July 10, 2026- featureWriter IDE: added draft branches, the revision graph, immutable checkpoints, and ancestry-aware merge review.
- featureReviewable AI edits: added inline diff review and review batches so proposed changes stay writer-controlled.
- improvementWriting diagnostics now surface in the Problems panel without automatically editing the draft.
v2.7
July 3, 2026- featureSpaces pipelines: added task queues, agent assignment, visible run states, result review, and apply checkpoints.
- improvementPipeline results now remain proposals until a writer chooses to review, apply, create a document, or copy the output.
- featureAdded first-party Space templates for repeatable drafting and review workflows.
v2.6
June 24, 2026- featureLocal imports: added Markdown, plain text, DOCX, and desktop text-layer PDF import.
- featureGoogle Docs integration: connect through OAuth and import selected documents as one-way native Skraib copies.
- improvementClarified import boundaries: no live provider sync, and Notion import remains planned rather than enabled.
v2.5
June 12, 2026- featureMedia-rich official templates now include image-forward structures, visual guidance, and template companion agents.
- improvementExpanded template metadata so writers can identify intended outcomes, visual needs, and companion support before starting.
- featureAdded marketplace sharing, ratings, and author experiences for templates.
