Changelog
Stay up to date with what's new in Promptó
📝Changes
- Your prompts keep their details now. File paths, URLs, placeholder variables, etc — the optimizer used to drop these during refinement. Now it preserves them across every step.
- Longer prompts won't time out anymore. Bumped the optimization timeout from 60s to 120s. If you're pasting in big system prompts, it actually finishes now.
📝Changes
- 50K character limit. Bumped from 5,000 to 50,000. If you've been pasting full system prompts or specs and hitting the wall — that's gone. Works on both web and desktop.
- Smoother refinements. Fixed timeouts on complex prompts and the clarifying questions wizard resetting between questions.
📝Changes
- Live API docs in coding mode. When you optimize a coding prompt, the optimizer now pulls current documentation for libraries you mention — so the output references real APIs, not stale training data.
📝Changes
- More generous free tier. Trial users now get 10 optimizations per month instead of 10 total.
- Slack notifications for new signups weren't firing. Race condition — fixed.
📝Changes
- Desktop character limit is exact now. Was cutting off at word boundaries before 2000 chars. Now it counts precisely.
📝Changes
- Projects. Create named projects with context (tech stack, constraints, preferences) so the optimizer gives you better results without asking the same clarifying questions every time. Projects sync across devices.
- Save clarifying answers to your project. After answering questions, save useful answers to your project context for next time.
- Undo refinements. Made a refinement worse? One click to go back.
📝Changes
- Daily update checks. The desktop app now checks for updates once a day during long-running sessions, not just on launch.
📝Changes
- Undo toast works with hotkey again. The clipboard auto-replace undo notification was broken when triggered via keyboard shortcut. Fixed.
📝Changes
- Clipboard stops refilling the textarea. After clearing the input, the app was re-pasting your clipboard. Fixed.
📝Changes
- Smart window focus. The app stays visible when you're actively using it instead of hiding behind other windows.
- What's New modal. See what changed after updates with a quick link to the full changelog.
- Press C to start fresh. Keyboard shortcut to instantly clear and start a new prompt (like Superhuman's compose shortcut).
📝Changes
- Undo refinement. Made a refinement that made things worse? One click to go back to the previous version.
📝Changes
- Undo toast instead of confirmation dialog. Clipboard replacement now shows a quick undo toast instead of blocking you with a modal.
- Fixed lost tokens during streaming. Some optimized text was getting dropped mid-stream. Fixed the line buffering.
- Mobile layout overflow. The landing page was scrolling horizontally on phones. Fixed.
📝Changes
- Better visibility for Dark Reader and forced-colors users. Buttons were nearly invisible for people using accessibility tools. Fixed.
📝Changes
- Cursor support. The desktop app now detects and works with Cursor in addition to VS Code.
📝Changes
- Enter key works in clipboard dialog. You can now hit Enter to accept the clipboard replace prompt instead of clicking the button.
📝Changes
- Auto-updates work now. Desktop app was failing to find new versions. Fixed.
- Preferences save reliably. Saving preferences could silently fail in some cases. Fixed.
📝Changes
- Windows auto-update fixed. The Windows app wasn't finding new versions. Fixed.
- No more random logouts. Long sessions would unexpectedly log you out. Added retry logic for token refresh so brief network hiccups don't kill your session.
- Optimization reliability. Fixed an intermittent failure during prompt optimization.
📝Changes
- No more unexpected logouts. Added retry with exponential backoff for token refresh. Brief network hiccups no longer log you out.
