Separate testing database
Production and testing data can now be separated. You can create a testing database to make changes without touching live data. The testing database starts as a copy of production data, so you can safely try changes, adjust features, or test data updates. All edits apply only to the database you currently have selected.
Improved GitHub pull behavior
Pulling changes from GitHub now updates the current chat, instead of creating a new one. All files will be replaced with the version from GitHub, while environment (.env) files remain unchanged.You can also disconnect GitHub from a chat using the new disconnect option, without needing to contact support.Jan 12-16
Macaly API (Enterprise)
Macaly is now available via an API on Enterprise plans. You can create chat sessions, build web applications with AI, monitor progress, and deploy to production programmatically. Read the docs

Human-in-the-loop confirmations
Before the agent completes a response, it can now pause to confirm intent or ask follow-up questions when context is missing. This helps avoid incorrect or overly broad changes and gives you more control over larger actions.
Planning mode
Macaly can now plan its work before executing it. The agent automatically decides when planning is needed, and you can also turn it on manually in the input box to review the approach first.
Duplicating a chat now creates an isolated copy
When you duplicate a chat, Macaly now creates a fully separate copy with its own data. You can experiment freely without worrying about changes affecting the original project.Improvements
- Sidebar refactor with lazy loading and server-side search for faster navigation
- Published apps and domains management moved into the Team dropdown
- Chat sidebar dropdown updated with quick access to documentation, settings, billing, help, and logout
Bug fixes

Media Assets (upload & reuse)You can now upload and manage any type of media directly in Macaly. Uploaded assets are stored in a shared library, and the agent can reference and reuse them while building or editing your project.More reliable background AI actionsThe Macaly agent now runs more reliably in the background and can handle longer, more complex tasks without stopping unexpectedly. This means you can let the agent work for longer periods of time and trust it to finish multi-step actions without needing to restart or break them into smaller pieces.Improved Assets UXWorking with uploaded assets is now faster and clearer, with improved browsing and handling inside the editor.Diff Mode: undo for blocksDiff Mode now supports undoing block-level changes, making it easier to review and safely revert edits made by the AI.Billing page authenticationThe billing page now correctly handles user authentication, improving reliability around plan changes and upgrades.Security updates (Next.js)We rolled out a large security upgrade for projects using older Next.js versions. Macaly now detects vulnerable versions, guides users to fix them, and auto-upgrades projects where possible.
