NewFlowlets: your agent now builds you live mini-apps on request — trackers, tables, rich charts, forms, timers, even photo capture with vision — as real interactive screens wired to live data.
NewFlowlet reminders & watches: declarative triggers that fire a notification when your data changes — no model call, no scheduled prompt.
NewPlan mode: for bigger tasks the agent proposes a plan first, you approve, then it acts.
NewLive permission control in the TUI: Tab / Shift+Tab cycles Ask, Auto, and YOLO with a colored status-bar badge.
NewExec and Codex approval policies are now editable live from any connected app over the shared RPC.
NewEmbedded browser provider in the gateway — the engine behind Desktop's new built-in browser.
NewFlowlet templates: ready-made mini-apps — sleep and mood tracking included — as a one-tap start.
NewStanding goals: hand your agent a goal and it keeps working toward it on its own — waiting on a judge or a barrier, surviving a restart, and telling you when it's done.
NewGoals where you work: a composer strip shows what's being pursued, slash commands set it, pause it and stop it, and autonomous turns stream into the chat as they happen.
NewWatch a scheduled job while it runs: each run streams its actions live, then records what it did and every file it produced.
NewA full tool catalog behind tool_search: a turn loads only the tools and playbooks it actually needs, with optional on-device routing that requires no API key.
Improvementsthe CLI starts a fresh session by default (pick up an old one with --resume); chat artifacts appear right under the TUI input; /usage is a true inline panel.
Improvementsweb search now works out of the box for signed-in accounts, with your own key still taking priority.
Improvementsplan mode endures long sessions: plans survive context compaction and gateway restarts; flowly doctor was rebuilt on a read-only core with transactional repairs.
Improvementslong sessions hold together: the gateway reads a model's real context window, learns a provider's true input ceiling from its own rejections, and carries task intent and recent events across compaction.
Improvementsevery surface serializes an approval the same way, so a request raised in one place can be answered from another.
Fixesthe loopback WebSocket is hardened against web-origin and DNS-rebinding attacks; deleted sessions release their pinned working directory; xAI errors now show the real reason from xAI.
Fixesconnections reveal their secrets safely and accept restricted ElevenLabs keys; a tool whose server changed its schema refreshes instead of failing.
NewFlowly's agent core is open source (Apache 2.0): the gateway, 40+ tools, 135 built-in skills, and every channel adapter — the same code that ships inside Flowly Desktop, with no separate "lite" build. Install with uv tool install flowly-ai or the one-line script.
NewBring your own key: first-class adapters for OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, xAI/Grok, and Zhipu/GLM, plus any OpenAI-compatible local model (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM). When nothing is pinned, Flowly cascades through whatever you've configured so there's always a working model. Switch live with /provider and /model.
NewNative Anthropic provider: direct Messages API with prompt caching and automatic key rotation, not just an OpenAI-compatible shim.
NewxAI subscription sign-in: use your SuperGrok / X Premium+ subscription instead of an API key.
NewOne gateway, every channel: terminal TUI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and voice — one conversation memory shared across all of them.
NewMCP both ways: connect any MCP server (flowly mcp install) and run Flowly itself as an MCP server (flowly mcp serve) for Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code.
NewA closed learning loop: every fact becomes a governed memory with a calibrated trust score; a background pass merges duplicates and retires stale notes; structured facts land in a knowledge graph. Opt in and Flowly writes and refines its own skills — every change snapshotted and reversible.
NewDelegates and parallelizes: spawn isolated sub-agents, run a cross-channel task board sequentially or in parallel, and hand heavy coding to a local Codex session (opt-in).
NewRun it anywhere: self-host on a laptop, a $5 VPS, or a Mac mini as a background service that survives reboots (launchd / systemd / Task Scheduler). The whole process runs inside the OS sandbox (sandbox-exec on macOS, bubblewrap on Linux).
NewInline reply media: generated images and screenshots now render right in the chat across terminal, desktop, and mobile — a small thumbnail you tap for full resolution.
