Changelog

New features in the Vibecode iPhone app and on the web, newest first. Updated .

Start building

  1. Buy credits once

    LaunchBillingWeb

    Buy any amount of credits from $20 to $500 on the web, on any plan.

    • Buy credits once, without changing your plan: any amount from $20 to $500, on any plan including Free.
    • In Plan & billing, click Buy next to Buy credits, or click your credit balance in a project and choose Buy more. See Plans and credits.
    Open update

  2. Copies get their own app identity

    iOSWebFix

    A copy or remix of a native iOS app no longer shares the original's App Store and RevenueCat setup.

    • Duplicate a native iOS app and the copy now gets its own bundle ID, with no App Store or RevenueCat setup carried over from the original. Remixes get a fresh bundle ID too.
    • Videos attach to a prompt the same way images do, and attachments stay on queued prompts and after a page reload.
    Open update

  3. Your AI tools can deploy and do more

    LaunchWebBilling

    Vibecode's agent and connected coding tools can deploy, run longer commands, and work on your live app's server on paid plans.

    • Deploy from chat: on a paid plan, ask Vibecode's agent, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another connected AI tool to deploy your app. If the deploy would start a charge, a Deploy card shows the price first and one tap deploys. With no card saved, the card form opens in place. After the deploy, the agent checks your live app. Free accounts get a link to plans.
    • Commands on the Free plan: coding tools connected to Vibecode can run up to 50 commands a week in your app, reset every Monday. Plus, Pro and Max have no weekly limit.
    • Long commands: on paid plans, a command can keep running for up to 20 minutes, and your AI tool checks back for the output.
    • Live server commands: on paid plans, coding tools and Vibecode's agent can run commands on your deployed app's server. Vibecode tries to back up the database first, or reuses a backup from the last 15 minutes.
    • Commands can be up to 20,000 characters, and a deploy from an AI tool saves your latest work first.
    • See Connect Vibecode to your AI tool
    Open update

  4. Clearer auto-reload and credit history

    BillingWebFix

    A failed auto-reload now says why, and credit history names flat-rate charges.

    • Auto-reload: if an automatic top-up fails, Settings and the out-of-credits dialog show why and which card was charged, with Use a different card and Try again.
    • Credit history now names flat-rate charges, such as "Email sent". See Plans and credits
    • Environment variables whose names contain digits now reach the agent
    Open update

  5. Pick your default model

    WebModels

    Choose the model new apps start with, and each app keeps its model on every device.

    • Default model: in Settings → Agent, pick the model new apps start with, or leave it on Automatic.
    • The model, reasoning level and fast mode you pick inside an app are saved with that app, so it opens the same way on every device. Picking a model in one app doesn't change your default.
    Open update

  6. Smoother App Store review

    iOS

    First releases settle the App Review login, and approved versions go live on their own.

    • On a first App Store release, the agent now decides whether App Review needs a demo login, so apps with sign-in aren't rejected for a missing one. A login you added yourself in App Store Connect is kept on later updates.
    • Approved versions now release automatically by default instead of waiting for a manual release. See Deploy to the App Store
    Open update

  7. Web app templates

    LaunchWeb

    Open update

  8. Everything the agent needs, in one bar

    LaunchWeb

    A bar above the chat box collects every step the agent needs you to do.

    • Requests bar: on the web, a bar above the chat box holds everything the agent needs from you: Apple sign-in, the sandbox test account, installing the newest build, registering your iPhone, connecting RevenueCat and accepting Apple's agreements. Each button makes a fresh link when you tap it, so links never expire, and passwords are never shown in the chat.
    • The website plays a soft chime when the agent adds something to the bar, even in a background tab
    Open update

  9. Stop works sooner, and iOS fixes
