What's new in Mana

We ship often. Here's everything we've added, improved, and fixed.

  1. Live Activities + faster builds

    Mana creations can now post to the Dynamic Island, and median build time dropped 40%.

    Added

    • Live Activities — Mana creations can now post to the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. Ask for "a timer that lives in the Dynamic Island" and it just works.
    • Shareable links — every shared creation gets a mana.am/share/... URL friends can tap to clone it into their own Mana.
    • Composio integrations — connect Notion, Linear, and Google Calendar in one tap; Mana creations can read/write through the toolkit API.

    Improved

    • Median build time on the entry tier dropped from 38s → 22s. Compilation is now incremental between turns.
    • Sandbox cold-start trimmed by ~600ms via pre-warmed pool sizing.
    • Widget previews render in-app before you commit to placing them.

    Fixed

    • Dynamic Island state could go stale when Mana was backgrounded for >10 minutes.
    • Long prompts (>4k chars) occasionally truncated in the chat history view.
    • Refresh tokens no longer rotate when the access token is still valid.
  2. Widgets + multi-locale support

    Lock Screen widgets, 20-locale support across Mana, and a new credits view.

    Added

    • Home Screen + Lock Screen widgets — every Mana creation can render a small/medium widget. Describe what should appear and Mana wires it up.
    • 20 locales — Mana and the marketing site are now translated into 20 languages, picking the right one based on system + region.
    • Credits dashboard — see exactly how much each session cost, broken down by tool call.

    Improved

    • The chat stream renders inline previews of generated icons and screenshots.
    • Skill plugins (third-party tools you can attach to Mana) load lazily, cutting first-paint by ~300ms.

    Fixed

    • A race in session resume could occasionally drop the last assistant message.
    • Locale switcher now persists across browser tabs.
  3. Sharable creations + invite credits

    One-tap sharing for Mana creations, plus a credit-back invite program.

    Added

    • Sharing — tap share on any Mana creation to mint a /share/app/<id> link your friends can open and clone.
    • Invite credits — invite a friend, both of you get 200 credits when they ship their first creation.
    • Search across the library — fuzzy match by name, prompt, or tag.

    Improved

    • Onboarding now shows three example prompts you can tap to see Mana in action without typing.
    • Push notifications batch chat replies rather than firing one per message.

    Fixed

    • Newly created items occasionally appeared at the bottom of the library; they now sort to the top.
    • WebSocket reconnect after airplane mode no longer requires force-quitting Mana.
