📫 Weekly Changelog — September 3, 2026

Today’s release includes a significant update to Custom Apps and many other things in different areas, including performance improvements and a lot of bug fixes. Enjoy!

Custom Apps: major platform update

We can now ship new versions of the Custom Apps platform. All new apps use the new platform. In some cases these versions are not backward compatible, so when working with an older app, you can see update platform button and the app will be rebuilt on the new platform version if you want to use its capabilities. This operation consumes tokens.

If you create apps via MCP and want to apply the new platform version to an older app, you still have to update the platform from the Fibery UI.

Custom Apps: Major platform update

Custom Apps improvements in this version:

  • Open entities in panels, just like in the main Fibery UI.
  • The rich text editor in apps now renders mentions of users and entities, and users can add new mentions via a basic UI.
  • You can now change the URL of a custom app — find the App URL action at the top of the app.
  • Custom Apps can now refresh data in the background.
  • The prompt typed into the Custom App chat input is now preserved, so if you navigate away and come back, your precious text will still be there.
  • You can now paste images from the clipboard into the App builder.

Set a load limit for Lists and Tables on Entity View

For many years, only 15 items were shown in relation lists and tables by default. Sometimes this number is not enough, and sometimes it’s just weird. No more! You can finally set a load limit for Lists and Tables inside Entity View.

Open the Items setup section and select a Load Limit value (including Unlimited, if you’re not afraid of loading hundreds of entities every time):

Multi-window support in the desktop app

The desktop app now opens as many windows as have screens.

How it works: Cmd + Shift + N on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + N on Windows, or File → New Window.

Each window keeps its own tabs and history, all windows share one session, and your window layout is restored on relaunch. The Windows app also gets a full app menu.


Sort search results by creation date

Search results can now be sorted by creation date. Select “Newest first” when you’re looking for something fresh.

Performance improvements

Opening an entity is faster now. Every block used to redo the same lookup on its own; now it happens once for the whole entity.

We also fixed a handful of memory leaks. Whiteboards kept their whole scene in memory after you navigated away, every popover you closed left size observers behind, and the text editor held onto handlers each time a document closed. Nothing you’d spot in ten minutes, but if you keep Fibery open all day, that’s the one you’ll feel.

Typing in documents with many mentions is smoother now.


🦋 Improvements

  • MCP: The Claude Fibery MCP Connector has been approved by Anthropic and included in the official directory → https://claude.ai/directory/fibery
  • Forms: When a user has Architect mode enabled, forms open in Edit mode by default instead of Preview mode.
  • Automations:
    • Non-Architects can now see the names of Rules when browsing history, notifications, and comments.
    • When a Rule adds a comment, you see its name instead of Deleted User or Unknown User.
  • Integrations: Disconnecting an integration in Fibery now notifies the connector so it can revoke the OAuth token on its end too — no more orphaned tokens lingering with the provider. Learn more here.

We've also fixed 24 bugs, see all the details in the changelog!

📺 Webinar recap

Product updates webinar August

If you missed this week's product updates webinar, we've got you covered with the upload. In August, Custom Apps got some love with visual editing, version history, duplication, and template sharing. And our MCP plugin for ChatGPT is approved!

Automations built with AI are back, History is better with more visibility, actor filters, and Batch undo. And we've got a new credits usage dashboard and some other improvements here and there. Watch the webinar for all the changes and improvements!

💡 Tip of the Week

Visually edit Custom App elements

You don't have to rebuild your Custom App from scratch every time you want to make a change. In the Fibery App builder, you can select certain elements and choose to iterate just that little piece.

Hit Select in the top-right corner and choose what you want to change. This makes the App creation process smoother and speeds up your iterations. You can also select several elements at the same time with the Shift key.
