Changelog

Product updates and fixes, newest first.

Improved

Smarter, more accurate AI

  • Buildy's AI now knows today's date, so countdowns and date logic are correct from the first build.
  • For time-sensitive facts (release dates, prices, current events), paid plans look them up live instead of guessing, and the AI flags anything it can't verify rather than inventing it.
  • Sharper code generation on every platform: cohesive light + dark theming, realistic sample data, and fewer rough edges out of the gate.
Shipped

Native iOS and Android, plus a Web target

  • Choose your target when you start a project: React Native (Expo) as before, or now true native, Android in Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, and iOS in SwiftUI, or a React (Vite) web app.
  • Compile in the cloud with one click: a managed build produces an installable Android APK, and iOS apps build on a real macOS runner.
  • Native iOS is included on the affordable Pro plan, not locked behind a premium-only tier.
Shipped

The Built with Buildy gallery

  • Publishing to the gallery gives every project a hosted web preview that others can open, add to a Home Screen as a PWA shortcut, and fork.
  • Forking gives you a free private copy to keep building from; your secrets are never copied.
  • Every share carries your referral link, so sharing your app grows your account too.
Improved

A sharper editor

  • Point-and-edit: click any element in the live preview and tell the AI exactly what to change.
  • A live logs/console panel, an AI-generated app icon + splash, and a build-validated checklist after every change.
  • New apps seed realistic sample data so the first preview looks finished, and safe-area insets are correct by default.
Shipped

Import from GitHub, env vars, and shareable promo images

  • Turn an existing GitHub repo into a Buildy project in one step.
  • Per-project environment variables, available in the preview and written to your export.
  • Generate a polished “Made with Buildy” promo image of your app for X, Instagram, or a story.
Improved

Payments move to Paddle (Merchant of Record)

  • Billing now runs on Paddle as Merchant of Record, which handles EU VAT and global sales tax on every sale for you.
  • Manage your subscription, card, invoices, and plan changes from a billing page on buildy.me.
  • This release replaced the initial Stripe integration described in the 14 June entry.
Shipped

Buildy now speaks 7 languages

  • Core marketing, sign-in, dashboard, and editor flows are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Dutch.
  • Pick your language from the switcher; your choice is remembered.
Shipped

Password reset over email, plus Terms and Privacy

  • Forgot your password? A reset link now arrives by email, built on better-auth.
  • Transactional email runs over direct SMTP for delivery we control end to end.
  • Terms of Service and a Privacy Policy are now live.
  • SEO foundation landed too: page metadata, Open Graph image, sitemap, and robots.
Shipped

Initial Stripe billing (replaced by Paddle on 20 June)

  • Four tiers are live: Free (100k generation units/mo), Pro (€25/mo), Max (€50/mo), and Enterprise (contact sales).
  • Upgrade, downgrade, manage your card, download invoices, and cancel from the Stripe-hosted customer portal, no email to support required.
  • Usage now meters three resources independently, generation units, preview stream minutes, and builds, so your plan limits are clear.
  • Pricing displays in euros to match what you're actually charged.
Improved

Prompt caching cuts generation cost and latency

  • We now cache the stable parts of every generation prompt, your project's system rules, workspace conventions, and file context, instead of re-sending them on every turn.
  • Repeated edits in the same project reuse cached context instead of re-sending it, which lowers technical token cost and shortens time-to-first-token.
  • No change to how you work: same chat and results, with less consumption from your monthly generation-unit allowance.
Security

Security Scanner and the Buildy AI Gateway

  • One-click Security Scanner flags risky patterns in generated code, hardcoded secrets, unsafe token storage, and insecure network calls, before you ship.
  • The new AI Gateway lets apps you build call Buildy's AI through a Buildy-issued, per-project token, so you never bake an API key into a client binary.
  • Guided Supabase integration wires auth and data into a generated app without hand-editing config.
Shipped

Plan mode, starter templates, and native-API mocks

  • Plan mode: Buildy proposes a build plan you can review and edit before any code is written, with a request queue and clearer transparency into each step.
  • Starter templates get new projects off a blank screen and onto a working Expo scaffold faster.
  • Native-API mocks let the hosted preview represent features that depend on device APIs such as camera, location, and notifications without real hardware.
  • Workspace rules and a project knowledge panel let you set conventions Buildy follows across every edit.
