AppJuice v0.350.42026-09-14
Improved
- Runtime and Coding Read, Write, and Edit tools now run through AppJuice's managed execution and operating-system sandbox path. File policy decisions, approvals, Artifacts, and ordinary file behavior remain consistent while protected access is enforced more reliably.
- Agent and Coding conversations now make command permission activity clearer: they show the requested boundary for access requests, distinguish policy blocks from work that was not run, and preserve useful timeout and error feedback without changing approval rules.
- Session Context has more horizontal room in Agent Conversation, making attached Context easier to read while preserving the existing message composer layout.
- Tech Guru now uses current Peekaboo automation guidance and aligned theme behavior, helping macOS automation choose the installed tool and verify outcomes more reliably.
AppJuice v0.348.02026-09-13
New
- Update dialogs now show the Release Notes for every stable version between your installed version and the newest update, so you can review the full set of changes before installing. The dialog keeps its actions visible while longer notes scroll.
Improved
- Coding and Brew model and Thinking pickers now reflect the active Pi Session, including restored and reconnected sessions. Choosing a model or Thinking level updates that session and saves its effective state as the default for new sessions.
- Agent Conversation now remembers the authoritative name of your selected model and shows it immediately when reopening a session, without waiting to load the full model catalog.
- Model recommendations for image, speech, music, video, and web search have been refreshed to current capability-focused choices. Retired recommendations have been removed, and provider-specific model IDs now use their supported current forms.
- The Agent Starter is easier to navigate on mobile: its business tabs now have distinct icons, the conversation header provides direct tab, back, and settings actions, and the selected tab state stays clear.
AppJuice v0.344.02026-09-12
New
- On Remote phones and tablets, image Artifacts can now open the device Share sheet so you can save or send the original image. This appears only where secure browser file sharing is available, with Download retained as the fallback elsewhere.
- Promoted Agent Conversation Artifacts now offer Comment. It adds the exact Artifact reference as removable Context for your next message, so you can discuss or revise a result without uploading the file again.
Improved
- Runtime Agent attachments and local file or folder references now stay with the message that sent them. You can still Preview or Comment on an attachment using its original reference, while later messages start with their own clear Context.
- Agent and Text model recommendations now prioritize DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, including image understanding where supported, while retired DeepSeek Flash and Vision Exp aliases no longer appear in recommendations.
AppJuice v0.340.12026-09-11
New
- On the Electron desktop app, eligible local Agent Conversation Artifacts can now be copied as files for pasting into Finder, File Explorer, or compatible file managers. Local file previews can also use the native Share sheet when it is available.
- New apps created with the Agent Starter now include every built-in Runtime Agent extension tool alongside the Demo Custom Tools, while provider-backed tools still follow your configured capabilities.
Improved
- Artifact preview cards in the conversation side panel now use a compact image layout that matches uploaded Context thumbnails. Preview actions place Copy before Download, with Share available for supported local desktop files.
AppJuice v0.338.12026-09-11
New
- Conversations can now show several ready-to-copy Draft alternatives and related input cards in the same reply. Each Draft has Comment and Copy actions, and commenting on a Draft keeps its exact text with your next message for clear feedback.
Improved
- Drafts, code blocks, and file cards now share a clearer, theme-aware card treatment. Sending an answer closes only the input cards it answered, keeping later cards and completed Drafts available while you continue the conversation.
AppJuice v0.337.22026-09-11
New
- New apps can now start from a ready-made Blank or Agent Starter. Each starter provides a polished responsive foundation, fresh app identity and theme details, while the Agent Starter includes a simple card workspace with connected chat context and example tools.
Improved
- App conversation panels now remember whether you left them open or closed for each app and agent. Chat surfaces, tool activity, composer layout, and model-label space have also been refined for a calmer, more readable conversation experience.
Fixed
- Returning to Home after visiting another AppJuice page now refreshes the app list once, so recent changes appear without forcing an unnecessary reload. Activity and status text now keeps a consistent normal weight across Coding, Brew, and app conversations.
AppJuice v0.332.12026-09-10
New
- App publishing now starts from one guided flow that checks the app first and then prepares the right Cloudflare or Railway path. Before any cloud change, it explains the destination, public exposure, data and credential use, costs or limits, and the material risks for approval.
Improved
- Sharing to Juicery now uses one clear progress flow from sign-in through version checks, local review, upload, and review. If an approved private release is already ready, AppJuice avoids repeating the scan and points you to finish publishing on Juicery.
- Direct OpenAI image generation now recommends GPT Image 2.5 models, supports their quality choices and localized edit masks, and keeps JPEG results correctly identified when you save or use them.
- Every AI Capability recommendation now includes a compact copy button for its exact provider/model ID, with a brief confirmation after it is copied.
AppJuice v0.328.02026-09-09
New
- Web Extract can now be configured separately for Cloudflare and Firecrawl in Settings. Each provider has a guided setup and connection check, while Jina remains ready to use without configuration.
Improved
- Web Extract now uses safer, provider-specific connections across App, Coding, and Brew Agents. It accepts only public web pages, keeps credentials protected, and gives clearer redacted guidance when a provider cannot be used.
Fixed
- Sharing an app to Juicery now checks whether its version can be accepted before scanning local files. Exporting files stays independent, and an unavailable version is explained directly instead of starting unnecessary work.
AppJuice v0.325.12026-09-08
Fixed
- Sharing an app to Juicery now checks that its version is newer before starting the local scan, preventing duplicate or older versions from being uploaded and clearly explaining when the app version needs to be updated.
AppJuice v0.325.02026-09-08
Improved
- AppJuice now uses the latest Pi agent runtime, improving how App and Coding Agents handle Stop requests and recover queued work. Provider recommendations have also been refreshed with current models, including GPT-6 Astra.
- AI Capabilities now uses clearer icons for direct calls and Web Search, making those choices easier to distinguish at a glance.
Fixed
- Long-running apps and Coding Agent sessions now keep their managed access active for as long as the work is running, instead of unexpectedly losing access after a day. Access is still revoked when the run or session ends.
- Long file and web-page locations in App Agent activity now wrap cleanly instead of forcing a horizontal scroll. The activity message also avoids showing a redundant ellipsis while work is already in progress.
AppJuice v0.323.12026-09-05
Fixed
- Safety and approval review notices in the Coding Agent and app conversations now appear as a short summary (verdict plus risk/authorization) with the explanation folded behind a chevron you can tap to expand, instead of a long wall of text.
- App conversation panels (Sessions and Context & Files) now fold into the Chat header at the right time for each layout, so a still-wide window keeps both side panels open and only narrows to phone width after the last panel folds. The conversation column also keeps a consistent side gutter as the window narrows.
- Fetching a local server whose port is written as a shell variable (for example http://127.0.0.1:$p/api) is now recognized as localhost, so it no longer raises a spurious guard warning or a needless network-approval prompt. Lookalike hosts such as localhost.evil.com are still blocked.
- PDF previews now render at full display resolution on high-density screens (up to 3x), so text no longer looks softer than the system previewer on phones and high-scaling displays.
- The app Plan button in the coding chat toolbar now uses a task-list glyph, and tooltips no longer pop up on phones and tablets after tapping an icon button — a tap acts on the control instead of showing a hover-only label. Mouse and keyboard tooltips, plus the spoken labels, are unchanged.
AppJuice v0.322.32026-09-03
Improved
- When you reopen a previous Coding chat, the pictures, audio, and video produced during that conversation now come back as preview cards in the message stream instead of disappearing from view.
- Notices from the Builder or an app, such as a warning that a command reaches an address outside your computer, now appear with a clear level icon and stay aligned with the message text instead of showing as plain text.
Fixed
- Fixed a Coding Chat failure in which a long conversation (for example one that produced or read large images) could stop loading with a record-size error; reopening such earlier chats now works and shows the full history.
- The Settings pages now scroll smoothly as a single page while their header actions stay in place, so buttons are no longer hidden by separate scroll areas.
AppJuice v0.322.12026-09-03
New
- Builder can now publish compatible frontend-only apps as public Cloudflare websites, with a guided privacy review and a choice between a temporary share link or a website connected to your Cloudflare account.
Improved
- Published Cloudflare websites can now be taken offline through the same guided workflow, with a clear confirmation and verification that the public site is no longer available.
- Safety reviews for higher-effort actions now have more time to finish before AppJuice asks you to review the action yourself.
- Web capabilities in Settings now use clearer descriptions of how apps and Builder use them.
Fixed
- Cloudflare-powered web extraction now correctly handles another valid Cloudflare response format, making website research more reliable.
AppJuice v0.320.02026-09-02
New
- Tech Guru now offers two clearer terminal options: open the current app folder in a regular terminal, or open Pi with the same AppJuice tools, guidance, and safeguards used inside the app.
Improved
- App-building guidance included with AppJuice is now kept separate from your installed Skills, while still loading automatically whenever you build an app.
- The Skills settings now show a short, plain-language list of the guidance AppJuice includes, alongside the Skills you installed yourself.
Fixed
- Pi opened in an external terminal can now use AppJuice-powered tools such as secure commands and image generation without losing access to the current app.
AppJuice v0.318.32026-09-02
Improved
- AI Services and AI Capabilities settings are now more compact and consistent, with clearer connection status, easier-to-scan capability lists, and cleaner provider and system icons.

AppJuice v0.313.12026-09-01
Fixed
