Detailed log of all updates, improvements, and bug fixes for each version.

3.16.4 (28 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Move and rename files with Nowa AI: ask Nowa AI to move or rename a file or a folder. It uses the editor's own move, so every import and export that points to it follows, in lib/, design/ and your tests, and undoing the request puts everything back.
  • Save & Commit: commit, pull, merge, checkout, revert and undo commit save your unsaved edits first, so nothing is left out of a commit or overwritten. A tile above your changes counts the unsaved files and saves them when you click it, and the main button reads Save & Commit while something isn't saved.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Nowa AI takes fewer steps: it reads several files in one call, and a file under 30,000 characters comes back whole, while a bigger Dart file comes back as an outline it reads parts of. A search can look for several things at once, and a search with 12 hits or fewer returns the code each hit sits in, the whole class for a hit on a class. After an edit, Nowa AI gets back only the lines Nowa saved differently, instead of the code it just sent. The explorer answers with places in your code and Nowa AI gets their exact text, minus what it already read for that request, and it checks all the screens it changed in one go. Fewer steps mean faster answers and fewer credits per request.
  • Faster AI edits on cloud projects: each edit Nowa AI makes waits for one request to the server instead of four or more, and the first edit after opening a project no longer loads every file first.
  • Faster AI search in local projects: Nowa AI searches a local project in about half a second while it works, where a search could take up to half a minute.
  • Nowa AI needs 3.16.4: Nowa AI's chat now works with Nowa 3.16.4 or later. An older version shows "This version of Nowa is no longer supported. Please update to version 3.16.4 or later." in the chat, and everything else keeps working.
  • Components on the board: pointing at a component shows its layout guides in the component color, and lists and grids get them too. Double-clicking into a component selects the layer under the pointer, and Ctrl/Cmd + click selects through nested components. On its own canvas, a component is open like a screen: its top layer shows in Details with padding, radius, gap and shadow handles on the board, and Esc, a click on a gap or its row in the Outline selects it. The Outline keeps a component you use collapsed when you select it, and Details lists a component's inputs before the layer it draws.
  • Layers: the layer chips over the selection are gone. Details lists a widget's layers, and holding Ctrl (Control on Mac, with Cmd for the deepest widget) shows the layers of the widget under the pointer. Selection colors show as swatches, named when you point at them.
  • Translations on cloud projects: an edited translation shows in about a second instead of five, and Details shows a spinner while a translation or a language is being saved.
  • Instant play: opens on the screen your board selection is in, remembers what you picked to play after you reopen the project, and waits for your project's packages before it plays, instead of showing errors while they load. Its picker finds a prototype by its class name, lists names that start with or contain what you type first, and offers prototypes built from other prototypes.
  • AI chat: the task list at the top of a response updates in place and shows where the tasks stand, and the labels of the activity line no longer overlap as they change.
  • Dashboard: project cards always say when they were edited, with dates like "Jan 11" (and the year when it isn't this one), and shimmer until their cover loads.
  • Import project: the dialog puts you in its folder field, and a workspace lists its packages as soon as you pause typing. A package opened from a workspace is listed under its own name in Recents and the status bar.
  • Account settings: your account details have a Log out button.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed a save the server refused looking saved. Saving shows the error, a failed auto save shows it once, and Save and close stays open.
  • Fixed saved code getting a const that doesn't compile, like const SizedBox(height: Spacing.md), or losing one it needs, like in a default value. Code keeps the const it was written with, and const is no longer repeated where Dart doesn't need it.
  • Fixed async* and sync* functions and closures being saved without their * or as the wrong kind.
  • Fixed for loops and declarations that take records or objects apart, like for (final (i, (name, price)) in items.indexed) or for (final MapEntry(:key, :value) in map.entries), turning the whole method into a placeholder. Records also compare by their fields and match record patterns in switch.
  • Fixed method tear-offs, like Timer.periodic(duration, _tick), failing with 'Method "_tick" is not found' after their file was edited.
  • Fixed screens that fade in staying invisible on the board until you pointed at them.
  • Fixed custom painters (CustomPaint) blocking taps and not repainting when they should, on the board and in Instant play.
  • Fixed a prototype on the board showing placeholders like "[label]" where its data is meant to be empty.
  • Fixed adding a PageController's nextPage, previousPage or animateTo as an action leaving curve empty, which didn't compile. It now gets Curves.easeInOut.
  • Fixed moving files in Files losing a file Nowa hadn't opened yet, and not updating the imports in hand-written code and tests.
  • Fixed undoing Translate leaving the new text in every language, and a double click on Translate adding it twice.
  • Fixed the board's Language picker showing in apps that are in one language.
  • Fixed Nowa AI failing to remove a stateful widget, which broke its later edits, and its screenshots of a screen's states showing placeholders.
  • Fixed an error in the status bar while Nowa AI rewrote a screen.
  • Fixed Git Sync stopping after a branch was renamed into a folder, like feature to feature/login.
  • Fixed Git: starting a repository failing when the files already listed .git, and a cancelled switch to a remote branch leaving a new local branch behind.
  • Fixed Update in the web app loading the old version again, so the update dialog came back.
  • Fixed "Flutter isn't set up" when Flutter is on your PATH and no SDK path is set in Nowa's settings.
  • Fixed prices with cents showing one decimal, like "$12.8" instead of "$12.80".
  • Fixed the sign-in form moving when an error appeared, so the next click missed.
  • Fixed the Linux app not seeing changes made outside Nowa in subfolders of a local project, and an error at start on a computer without a Documents folder.

3.16.3 (25 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Translate on the board: in an app with several languages, select a text and Details shows it in the language your boards show, with the language and the message's name under it, and not translated until that language has its own text. Type to translate it. Double-click a translated text on the board and type over it to change it in that language. Right-to-left languages are typed right to left.
  • Make a text translatable: a text typed in place gets a Translate button in Details that makes it a message of your app, ready to translate into each language. Use plain text turns it back.
  • Add and remove languages: the board's Language picker lists the languages in your app and the ones you can add. Search by a language's own name or its English name, like "arab", and click one to add it. The trash icon removes a language.
  • Nowa AI translates with ARB files: ask for languages and Nowa AI sets your app up the way Flutter recommends, with ARB files and an l10n.yaml, for all your languages in one go. Ask it to and it moves your app's own translations to ARB files.
  • Translations generated as you go: whenever an ARB file changes, whether Nowa AI, the code editor, Git or you on the board changed it, Nowa writes your AppLocalizations code again right away, in cloud projects too, so the board shows the change at once. A broken ARB file shows as a problem.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed translated plurals, dates and numbers on the board, and the board keeping old translations after an ARB file changed.
  • Fixed an error on every change ("VariableDeclImpl is not a subtype of BlockExpr") after Nowa AI rewrote a screen.
  • Fixed Build in the project settings doing nothing when a cloud build couldn't start. The popup now says why.
  • Fixed the close button of the AI chat's session details closing your project instead of the details.
  • Fixed a loading overlay closing the page under it when its task had already finished.

3.16.2 (24 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Preview your boards in any language: in an app with several languages, pick a Language under All boards in Details, with nothing selected, and every board shows your app in it, right to left for languages such as Arabic. The pick is saved with your project and never written to your code.
  • Several GitHub accounts: connect more than one GitHub account, like your own and your organization's, and use the repositories of each. GitHub Integration lists every account, personal or organization, with how many repositories Nowa can use and Manage, and Add account connects another. New repositories you create from Nowa go to your personal account.
  • Lottie previews: Lottie animations in your assets play as their thumbnail in the Library.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Deep Thinking on Gemini 4 Argon: Deep Thinking, in Agent and Design mode, runs on Google's Gemini 4 Argon.
  • Fewer false problems in imported apps: an app that analyzes cleanly in Flutter shows far fewer false problems and red canvases in Nowa. Nowa finds your MaterialApp through helper methods and builders, reads themes returned by static functions, loads Flutter's localizations, and runs async* and sync* generators, when guards in switch cases and await inside spreads and cascades.
  • No more blank web editor: when the web app runs out of graphics memory, Nowa saves your project and reloads the page, back on your last chat, instead of going blank. Board cover screenshots also use much less memory.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed text fields on the board drawing in their error state, when their error text is empty until something goes wrong.

3.16.1 (22 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Instant play: a new target in the Run on menu (the arrow next to Run). Your app runs in place of the board, as on a device, with no build, in a Phone, Tablet, Desktop or Full screen frame picked from the left of the top bar (the embedded preview gets these sizes too). It plays your app from its home screen, or a prototype from your design folder, and the name next to the frame shows what plays: click it to play one screen on its own, with placeholder inputs, or another prototype. Edits start it again with the change, and Start over runs it from the beginning, with the app's global state reset. In the playground and templates, a Run button next to Save opens it.
  • Select in Instant play: Select (V) selects the widget you click, with the board's selection box, size and layer chips. Open Details beside the app to edit it. Shift adds to the selection. While Select is on, each message to Nowa AI says which screen is on top and what's selected. Esc goes back to using the app, and the selection waits, unseen, until Select is back.
  • Comments in Instant play: Comment (C) pins a comment where you click. The Comments panel lists them with their author, time and screen. A comment can be resolved and reopened, deleted by its author, or sent to Nowa AI with Fix with AI. Comments are saved in the project, in .nowa/comments.json.
  • Share in Instant play: Share in the top bar copies a link that opens your app with its comments, for the project's members, or for anyone when the project is public. Signed-in viewers can leave comments. A local project has to be synced to the cloud first, and in the playground you save the app first.
  • Data panel: one Data side panel, with a tab each for APIs, Supabase and Firestore, that opens on the tab you used last. Every tab has search, and clear loading, not connected, failed and empty states. Ctrl/Cmd + 6 opens it (Ctrl/Cmd + 5 in the playground, where there's no Git panel), and if you had pinned one of the old panels, the pin carries over.
  • Run a Supabase function from the Data panel: point at a function and click its run button to open its test panel and run it.
  • Hot reload for device runs: when your app runs on a device or an emulator, Hot reload sits next to Hot restart. Both save first, and each spins while its own reload runs.
  • Help menu: Docs, Talk to an expert, Support and Shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + .), at the bottom of the side bar.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Fewer tokens per message: Nowa AI reads the project's overview with a tool when it needs it, usually once a chat, instead of receiving it with every message. Attached code over 4,000 characters goes as a one-line reference the agent reads only if the request needs it. A widget selected on the board always goes in full. In team packages built with pureUI, the AI reads the pureUI rules once a chat, and the rules are shorter.
  • Themes for Nowa AI: Nowa AI lists themes written as getters of a class, like AppTheme.lightTheme, and knows which theme your boards use, instead of answering that the project has no theme and adding a second one.
  • Design mode in imported apps: Nowa AI styles your screens with the theme your app's MaterialApp already uses. Only when your app has no theme does it add lightTheme and darkTheme to lib/globals/themes.dart.
  • AI chat header in one row: chat history, the chat's title, an info button with the tokens in and out, New chat and Options. Credits and the free weekend show in a slim strip above the message field, only when they matter, and a past chat you open shows its title.
  • MCP button: the Figma and Supabase logos on the message field's MCP button follow the icon theme until the MCP is on.
  • Supabase tab: Connect or Use API keys when not connected, Auth, Queries, Storage, RPC and Edge functions in one searchable tree, and Try again when a saved connection fails. Each query shows its kind as a tag, Auth shows who you're testing as, and pointing at anything in the list shows Run.
  • Firestore tab: collections and queries in one searchable tree, a way to the Firebase settings when it isn't connected, and Add collection in an empty project.
  • APIs tab: search matches collection names, a failed load shows Try again, and an empty project shows Add collection. Point at a request and click Run request to run it.
  • Side bar: your notifications and the account menu, which now opens Project settings, moved to the bottom of the side bar, and the floating support button is gone. The Router entry is gone too: select a screen and click the route icon (Open Router Editor) under Route Settings in its Details.
  • Project settings open as a popup over your project.
  • Back and forward in the top bar step in and out of Instant play and the embedded preview.
  • Run controls: while your app plays, its controls stand in the top bar where Run was, and Back to board gave way to the top bar's back arrow.
  • Experimental settings: the experimental features dialog is gone, and Nowa AI adds packages for you without an experimental setting to turn on first.
  • Buttons: one set of sizes across the editor, and Run, Deploy and the code toggle share the same height and look.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed the color picker's eyedropper not picking a color.
  • Fixed the console opening off screen instead of over the status bar.
  • Fixed apps made only for Android getting an error for a missing iOS AdMob App ID. One of the two App IDs is enough now, and the AdMob settings say when one can be left empty.
  • Fixed methods that return a widget, like _buildHeader(), being reported as "sealed boxes" the designer can't edit.
  • Fixed Git Sync pulling and pushing a branch checked out in another worktree of the repository instead of the branch you're on.
  • Fixed Details showing no fields for a wrapper in the middle of a chain.
  • Fixed button labels using your system's font instead of Nowa's.

3.15.0 (20 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Padding and margin handles: point at a selected widget's padding to see its bands and drag them. Each padding and margin is its own ring, and when a widget has several, each handle names its own, like Padding 16 or Container margin 8. Handles show on padding that's set, and new padding is added in Details.
  • Gap handles: drag the space between the children of a row, a column or a wrap to set its spacing, and a wrap's runSpacing. A row that spreads its children out (space between, around or evenly) gets a fixed spacing once dragged.
  • Corner handles: a dot inside each corner rounds all four corners, or only its own with Alt (Option on Mac). The radius goes where it's already written, like a ClipRRect, a BoxDecoration or a card's shape.
  • Rotate and flip: turn a widget from just outside its corners, in 15° steps with Shift. Shift + H and Shift + V flip it, and so does Flip in the right-click menu.
  • Shadow handle: a widget with a shadow shows a handle where its shadow falls. Drag it to move the shadow.
  • Gradient editor: Edit gradient in the right-click menu shows a gradient's ends, center, radius and color stops on the board, as a design tool's gradient editor does. Ends snap to the box's edges and middle, Shift keeps the line to 45° steps, and Esc finishes.
  • Size label: the selection's size shows under it, like 120 × 48, with Auto or Expand for a side that fits its content or fills the space.
  • Measuring: hold Alt (Option on Mac) to see the distances from the selection to the widget under the pointer, or to what holds it.
  • Align and distribute: for widgets placed freely, in a stack or on the board, design-tool keys: Alt + A, Alt + H and Alt + D align left, center and right, Alt + W, Alt + V and Alt + S align top, middle and bottom, and Alt + Shift + H or Alt + Shift + V distribute three or more (Option on Mac). They're also under Align in the right-click menu.
  • Spacing handles: several widgets placed freely side by side, in the same stack or on the board, show the gaps between them, and dragging one sets them all.
  • Auto layout: Shift + A puts the selected widgets in a row or a column, spaced as they were, and Shift + Alt + A (Shift + Option + A on Mac) turns a row or a column back into a stack, its children staying where they are. The children of a row or a column get dotted outlines on hover.
  • Wrappers on the board: a selected widget with wrappers shows them as chips on top of it, outermost first. Pointing at a chip outlines that layer and the padding it adds, and holding Ctrl (Control on Mac) shows every layer of the widget under the pointer.
  • One frame per widget: when a handle has nowhere to write yet, like a turn, or rounded corners on an image, it adds one Container around the widget, which later handles write into too. What's already written somewhere, like your own Padding or ClipRRect, is edited where it is.
  • Simplify wrappers: in the right-click menu, folds a widget's stack of wrappers into one Container wherever it looks the same, in one undo step.
  • Components like design-tool instances: a component stays closed until you edit it. Double-click enters it at its top layer, the rest of the board dims around an Editing label, and an Editing … Done bar sits at the top of Details.
  • List items: clicking a widget a loop builds selects that item. The 12 nearest other items are outlined, and the size label says which one it is, like 2 of 3.
  • Notes in Details: under a widget's name, Details says what the code around it does, like "For each product in products", "Shown when product.isNew", "Rebuilds when counter changes", "Built by _build()" or "From badge". Screens built through a builder are shown through it, and when a helper can't be shown, Details says why.
  • Variant section: a widget with @Preview variants switches between them from Details, and the switch can be undone.
  • Helpers and variables in Details: a helper's call shows its name with a field for each argument and Edit to go inside, a variable shows its name and Edit, and a child taken from a variable is a Child row that selects it.
  • Selection colors: a selection of many layers lists its colors in Details, and marks the ones written as values instead of taken from the theme.
  • Every widget theme: the Themes panel covers all of ThemeData's widget themes (more than 50), grouped and searchable, each with a preview and an editor.
  • Text styles: a real text style editor, and a text style picker that draws each style, with a tab for each theme extension.
  • Activity line in the AI chat: the agent's work shows as one line. While it works, the line says what the agent is doing ("Looking at the Home page…", "Thinking…"), and after 20 seconds how long it has been at it. When it's done, the line sums it up, like "Built the Login screen and updated the Home page". Tap it to list each step and open the file, screen or component a change made.
  • Credit limit pause: when one request hits your plan's limit, the chat says "Nowa paused: this request hit your plan's limit. You still have credits left." with a Continue button.
  • Organizations: if you belong to an organization, the dashboard sidebar has an organization picker that scopes your workspaces, billing, usage and AI credits to it. With an organization picked, account settings get an Organization tab with seats, members, invites, roles and the organization's workspaces, which are open to everyone in it. While an organization is picked, Nowa AI uses its credits, also in your personal projects.
  • Run settings: in local projects, extra flutter run arguments go in .nowa/run.local, one per line (# skips one), which Git ignores. Project settings get a Run page with a switch for each argument, and the Run tooltip names them.
  • Git sync in the status bar: the branch shows a * when you have local changes, and its ↓behind ↑ahead counts now show whenever the branch has an upstream, even with local changes. Click them to sync. They spin while Nowa syncs or fetches, and the tooltip names the upstream and when it was last fetched.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Smart guides: snapping reaches 6 px on screen at any zoom. Guides are red, with a cross where each edge or center meets them and the distance to what you line up with, and a widget also snaps to its neighbors' spacing, with the equal gaps marked.
  • Locked values: a handle whose value comes from a constant or from data shows as locked and says where the value comes from, and a move that can't happen says why beside the pointer.
  • Themes panel: edits any theme however it's written, following variables, getters, functions, copyWith, merge and lists to where each value is set. It adds values that aren't set yet, and says why when one can't be written. A theme extension's onX colors show paired with their x.
  • Board themes: boards use the package's own theme. When main.dart has none, the theme you pick in Themes is used and remembered in .nowa/settings.json, and board settings no longer have a theme switcher.
  • Pickers: open beside their panel, level with their row, sized to what they show, and close with Esc or a click outside.
  • Theme edits on big boards: only the widgets that read the theme rebuild, boards out of view catch up when they're back in view, changes apply without animating, and the panel does less work on each step of a color drag.
  • Wrappers in Details: each wrapper is its own section under the widget. It starts closed and shows its name and what it sets, like "Padding 16" or "Margin 8 · Color #FF0000 · Radius 12". Hovering highlights it, and wrappers stay out of the breadcrumbs.
  • Row and Column padding: a Row or a Column no longer has its own padding field. Its padding shows as a Padding wrapper section, and the onboarding's padding step points at Add Wrapper.
  • Right-click menus: short and grouped, as in a design tool: copy and paste, then order (with Order for one step at a time), then grouping and auto layout, then Align, Edit gradient and Flip, then components and replacing. Add auto layout shows only for several widgets, and components no longer offer Create component.
  • Board panels: the panels on a board fold into chips, and an open panel is a card. Cards on one side share a width you can drag, and with a card open, the closed panels are buttons in its header. The Outline is docked on every board and starts closed instead of sitting in the side bar, and opening it unfolds to the selected widget. With the Outline out of the side bar, Ctrl/Cmd + 6 now opens Api, and the panels after it move up one.
  • AI chat: the activity line replaces the typing indicator and the code cards. Code cards can no longer be dragged onto the board: each change is a step with an open button, and the raw call is under the message's options. A response you stop ends with "You stopped this response."
  • AI reliability: failed requests are retried, short connection and server problems no longer end a run, and stopping or running out of credits keeps the work already done. Tool results match what happened: failed edits are rolled back and reported as failures.
  • AI follow-through: each request carries the run's open issues (failed steps, actions you declined and new errors), so the agent fixes or reports them instead of claiming success, and a task ticked with nothing changed gets a note.
  • AI and credits: a large selected or open screen goes as an outline, very large text attachments are trimmed, an unchanged selection isn't sent again, repeated reads with nothing changed in between are refused, several parts of a file are read in one step, and problem reports quote one line instead of a whole method. Each message uses fewer credits, and tasks take fewer steps.
  • Render checks: the built-in agents can check that the screens they build render without errors at phone and tablet sizes, with images in lists drawn and no false errors on chips, list tiles, date pickers and navigation bars.
  • Errors the AI can act on: a syntax error quotes its lines, each new problem names its line, and an edit that breaks a YAML, ARB or XML file says so.
  • AI modes: each mode keeps to its own tools, so Plan mode can read your database but can't change your project. The database switch is remembered for each project, and a project reopens on its latest chat.
  • AI and Supabase: the agent uses your connected Supabase tools, and is guided to turn on row-level security for every table it creates or changes, with rows scoped to their owner when your app has sign-in.
  • AI and permissions: the agent adds app permissions through Nowa's settings, and no longer edits Info.plist, AndroidManifest.xml or the .nowa folder directly.
  • Design mode: runs no longer end with a "Your app design is complete" card.
  • AI on cloud projects: the agent saves its changes much faster, also while the tab is in the background.
  • Saving code: const constructors, class modifiers and type parameters, widget mixins, const maps, typedefs and the order of declarations are kept as written, and replaced code keeps its place in the file.
  • Loading screens: screens with small functions that return numbers load and save faster.
  • Running your app: hot reload and restart show their progress. The restart button spins while Flutter reloads and turns red with the reason when a reload is rejected. Edits from outside Nowa, like an agent's, hot reload the running app once the writes settle, and a pubspec.yaml change asks for a new run. Without a Flutter SDK, the run picker says so and offers the setup.
  • Git panel: refresh is now Fetch, the branches menu shows how long ago each branch's last commit was, most recent first, and changed files get an Open file button.
  • Editors: a text file's edits save in any mode, a Dart file opens on its first widget, the logs open scrolled to the end, and Files shows folders like .nowa and .vscode.
  • Menus: entries use regular body text, and the command palette's labels are regular weight again.
  • Welcome tour: waits until the AI has finished building your new app.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed a common cause of "No response" errors from Nowa AI in the web app.
  • Fixed widgets that take both an icon and a child turning the canvas grey.
  • Fixed a false "Too many positional arguments" error on valid code, like calling setState inside a StatefulBuilder, which made the AI rewrite code that worked.
  • Fixed a false type error when a function is passed where any Function is accepted, and a StatefulBuilder's setState call missing its callback not being caught.
  • Fixed the AI changing a different widget than the one you selected, and chasing problems that were already fixed.
  • Fixed the AI stopping on Supabase tasks instead of using your connected Supabase tools.
  • Fixed stopping the AI or running out of credits losing the work it had already done.
  • Fixed the AI losing helper code when it wrote new files, and reporting a change as done when part of it didn't save.
  • Fixed Enter sending a half-typed message in the AI chat while typing Japanese or Chinese in the Mac app.
  • Fixed Plan mode being able to change your project, and the database switch turning off between visits.
  • Fixed app permissions the AI added being lost.
  • Fixed screens on the board not updating after the AI edited them until you clicked them.
  • Fixed a stateful widget on the board showing bare default values, or an error box for a late controller, after you changed one of its fields.
  • Fixed the AI's highlight on the widgets it works on not following a switch between light and dark.
  • Fixed false "View.of()" and null-check errors in the Logs panel and in Play after Nowa AI checked a screen with images in a list.
  • Fixed screens that failed to render staying broken until Reload screen, even after the next change fixed them.
  • Fixed the preview stopping on "Failed to start/restart session: 409".
  • Fixed enabling RevenueCat or finishing the Stripe setup replacing your own code in Android's MainActivity.kt.
  • Fixed saved code losing a ! or ?. you wrote, like friendMap[authorId]! becoming friendMap[authorId!], or getting ones Dart doesn't need, including inside brackets.
  • Fixed printing a value that can be null being saved with a ! that crashes when the value is null.
  • Fixed closures losing their parameter types, optional brackets and default values when saved.
  • Fixed final, const and late variables set to null losing their = null, so the code no longer compiled.
  • Fixed extension members being saved as static, like safeSetState and setters, or losing a static they had.
  • Fixed generic extensions losing their type parameters, like the <T> in extension FirstOr<T> on List<T>.
  • Fixed annotations being removed when Nowa saved code: @pragma (which Firebase background message handlers need in release builds), @Deprecated, a field's @override, package annotations like @JsonSerializable, @JsonKey and @HiveType, and annotations on extension members, enum values and widget constructors.
  • Fixed decimal numbers like 1.0 being saved as whole numbers in Nowa on the web, and lists of them written in code, like stops: [0.0, 0.5, 1.0], being reported as errors.
  • Fixed numbers in brackets, like the 1 in pressed ? 0.9 : (selected ? 1.1 : 1), being reported as the wrong type, and gradient stops written this way breaking the preview.
  • Fixed map keys being saved as the map's value type, like scores[1] becoming scores[1.0], or with a ? or ! that broke the code.
  • Fixed switching a property to another constructor in the designer writing broken code like Border.Border(), and the switch undoing itself after the next change.
  • Fixed false errors on the results of clamp and remainder.
  • Fixed dot shorthands like on ? .start : .center, (.start) and [.start] showing a false "Undefined name" error and an error box on the canvas.
  • Fixed name.characters being reported as an error and failing in the preview.
  • Fixed typed lists, sets and maps like <double>[0] holding whole numbers in the preview.
  • Fixed a function that returns a function, or one that returns a shorthand like .center, failing to save.
  • Fixed lists that mix kinds of items, like dropdown items with a "None" item or text spans of different kinds, being reported as the wrong type.
  • Fixed Copy as new widget making code that didn't compile: getters, setters, operators, fields with defaults, const constructors and custom functions are now copied as they should be.
  • Fixed radio buttons in a RadioGroup not showing which one is selected on the canvas, or not responding to taps.
  • Fixed code using a package Nowa can't fully read, like file_picker's pickFiles(), being reported as using a void value in local projects.
  • Fixed a false "undefined" error after an is! check, like in if (box is! RenderBox || !box.hasSize) return;.
  • Fixed a State's method passed as a builder, like builder: _buildMenu, failing on the board with a null-check error.
  • Fixed selecting a text with a variable in it, like 'Hi, $userName', breaking its field and the board while a screen reader is on.
  • Fixed undoing a change to a group on the board, like turning a stack into a column from the group panel, failing with an error.
  • Fixed the Fix and Undo buttons on snackbars not being visible.
  • Fixed loops and conditions showing as "null" in widget lists.
  • Fixed trackpad scrolling over a color picker changing the color.
  • Fixed a pull in a local project overwriting your uncommitted changes. It now stops with "Your uncommitted changes would be overwritten. Commit them first, then sync again."
  • Fixed text files in an unknown language failing to open.
  • Fixed package caches not refreshing after an update on Windows.

3.14.1 (15 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Library grid view: a View menu at the top of the Library switches between Tree, List and Grid. Grid shows each folder's widgets as preview tiles, without the details popup.
  • Zoom menu: click the zoom level in the board toolbar for Zoom in, Zoom out, Zoom to fit, Zoom to selection and Zoom to 100%. Zoom goes from 5% to 1000%.
  • Design-tool keys on the board: + and - zoom in and out, Shift + 1 zooms to fit, Shift + 2 to the selection and Shift + 0 to 100%. Enter selects the layers inside, Shift + Enter the layer above, Esc goes up a layer and then deselects, a double-click selects one layer deeper and Ctrl/Cmd + Click the deepest layer. The Shortcuts sheet has new Zoom and Layers groups.
  • Paste to replace: right-click a widget and choose Paste to replace to swap it for the widget you copied. It keeps the target's place and layout and is one undo step. Offered when one widget is selected and it isn't the root of a board item.
  • Must match validator: + Add validator offers Must match validator, with Message and Must equal fields, for checks like "Repeat password". A != rule written in code loads as Must match.
  • Edit approval for agents: when an AI agent, Nowa's own or one connected over MCP, is about to change a file outside the package open in Nowa, a dialog names the file. Cancel leaves it unchanged and tells the agent, and Allow lets the change through without asking about that file again until the project is closed.
  • UI packages for agents: in a team's UI package (a workspace package with no lib/main.dart, or with a design/ folder), an agent's previews, mock data and prototypes go to design/<feature>.dart, and only the widgets and their contract go to lib/. Each new widget lands on the open board in a row of its own, with its states in the order they're written and, for a screen, its prototype. A widget whose UI is built by helper methods gets a "Sealed box" warning.
  • New MCP tools and options: list_boards, get_board and place_on_board; open_project takes a package (name or path) and lists the workspace's packages; screenshot with a declaration shows a widget's @Preview states two to a row.
  • AdMob App ID check: a problem is listed when the app uses AdMob but its Android or iOS App ID isn't set, with a way to the AdMob settings.
  • Await check: a warning when await is used on a call that no longer returns a Future, with a one-click fix that removes it.
  • New File and New Folder in a folder's right-click menu in Files (code mode).
  • Arrow keys in number fields: Up and Down change the value by 1, and by 10 with Shift.

Improved ⚙️​

  • App icons: Nowa writes only the icon files the Flutter template uses (15 for iOS, 7 for macOS) and gives iOS icons a white background, because the App Store rejects icons with transparency. Platforms without a folder in the project are skipped, and AndroidManifest.xml, project.pbxproj, web/manifest.json and the Contents.json files are no longer rewritten. Icons are drawn off the main thread, so the editor stays responsive.
  • Local notifications on Android: apps using flutter_local_notifications get core library desugaring turned on in their Android build.
  • SHA-1 keys: the Firebase Auth panel recognises SHA-1 keys with or without colons and extra spaces.
  • Models from JSON: generated fromJson uses a field's default value when an object or list is missing from the response.
  • Supabase: generated insert and update functions leave out null fields.
  • AI with several widgets selected: every selected widget is attached to the prompt.
  • AI turns that go quiet: a turn whose stream stops sending is ended and retried.
  • Agent tool errors: a tool call with wrong arguments now names the missing, unknown or mistyped ones and lists what the tool takes.
  • Team packages: Nowa adds nowa_runtime to a workspace package the first time a saved file needs it, declares fonts relative to the package, and download_font returns the TextStyle with the font's package. Fonts declared from the workspace root by older versions move into the package.
  • Agent guidance for UI packages: sample content stays in design/, each component gets its own file, a task ends with a screenshot of every screen and component, and get_theme in a package without a theme asks for lightTheme and darkTheme in lib/globals/themes.dart, with brand tokens in a ThemeExtension.
  • Outline: layers are named by what they show (the data a text reads, an icon's name, an image's file), and right-clicking one of several selected rows keeps them all selected.
  • Text properties: the font and size fields show what the text is drawn with, including a theme text style's font and size.
  • Circuit: node titles show the object a method is called on, like emailController.clear.
  • New screens are placed in the middle of the view.
  • Pasting SVG: SVG markup copied from another app is added as an SVG image in your assets.
  • Undo: renaming a component from Details can be undone.
  • Menus: action and right-click menus show every entry up to the screen's height (menus with a search field keep their cap), and menus round to 8 px.
  • Help popups: one help component across Nowa, with selectable text so IDs, URLs and keys can be copied.
  • Library previews: show after 100 ms instead of 400 ms.
  • Status bar: one line per log, and every count opens Problems.
  • Clone to local: cloning a cloud project to your computer no longer needs the Flutter SDK, and the steps that do need it lead to the Flutter SDK setup.
  • Git panel: refreshes when Nowa regains focus, so commits and checkouts made in a terminal or another editor show up without saving first.
  • Updates on Mac: Nowa swaps in the new app before it restarts, and the update dialog shows an error if the new version can't be put in place.
  • Feedback: the project snapshot attached to feedback leaves out assets to stay under the 10 MB limit, and the message is sent even when the snapshot can't be attached.
  • Rating prompt: asked only from the third day you use Nowa, as you come back to the dashboard after a work session, never on sign-in.
  • Environment setup: the setup wizard's notes, like the Xcode requirement and the low-space warning, are clearer callouts.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed apps failing to build after editing a widget given an enum-typed field, parameter or property, because Nowa wrote const in front of it.
  • Fixed a change made while its file was being saved being lost, such as the imports an agent's code needs.
  • Fixed updates on Mac sometimes restarting into the old version and showing the update prompt again.
  • Fixed generated Supabase insert and update functions sending null fields, which made them fail on phones.
  • Fixed AI prompts with several widgets selected only changing the first one.
  • Fixed the AI staying stuck when its connection went quiet in the middle of a task.
  • Fixed AI chat breaking on Arabic, emoji and other multi-byte text arriving in pieces, and background errors piling up while offline.
  • Fixed the AI's file tools opening and overwriting Nowa's cache files in .nowa/temp.
  • Fixed fonts and components an agent adds to a team's package failing the team's checks and build, because nowa_runtime wasn't added and fonts were declared from the workspace root.
  • Fixed Android builds failing for apps that use local notifications.
  • Fixed SHA-1 keys not being recognised in the Firebase Auth panel.
  • Fixed generated fromJson leaving objects and lists empty, or crashing, when the response left them out.
  • Fixed "not equal" validator rules written in code turning into a Required rule after any edit to the validators.
  • Fixed Copy as new widget leaving the copy linked to the original, so editing or deleting widgets in the original broke the copy.
  • Fixed turning on await for a call with an On Value leaving both in the code.
  • Fixed pasting SVG markup from another app pasting its code as text.
  • Fixed Create component being offered for function and variable widgets, where it couldn't work.
  • Fixed new screens being placed off to the side of the view.
  • Fixed right-clicking in the Outline dropping a multi-selection.
  • Fixed renaming a component from Details not being undoable.
  • Fixed timers started in Play running on after Play stopped.
  • Fixed sending feedback getting stuck in local projects with large assets.
  • Fixed cloning a project to local failing with a bare error when the Flutter SDK wasn't set up.
  • Fixed the Outline red-screening while a component rebuilt, and an error anywhere in the editor failing the canvas mounted last so that Reload couldn't bring it back.
  • Fixed the Outline missing the rows of calls into files written at the same time, until the class changed.
  • Fixed a board's theme only applying once something else rebuilt the canvases, in projects whose app has no theme.
  • Fixed adjacent string literals like 'a ' 'b' showing their quotes on the canvas.
  • Fixed functions that return from several places showing only their last return on the board.
  • Fixed drag and drop choosing the dragged widgets or a component's insides as the drop target.
  • Fixed a running design using the editor's snackbars and navigator instead of its own.
  • Fixed theme tokens like colors.inverse.textPrimary showing as the plain token.
  • Fixed Create Variable missing from a button's link menu, and undo for files dropped on the board.

3.14.0 (13 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Linux desktop app: the Nowa desktop app now runs on Linux, alongside Mac and Windows. Choose Linux when you download Nowa to get the 64-bit version, with an install script that adds Nowa to your app menu.
  • Firestore panel: a new Firestore panel in the left sidebar shows your collections and queries, with Add Main Collection and Add New Query.
  • Delete account in Firebase Authentication: Authentication now generates Future<bool> deleteAccount(), which returns false when no user is signed in or a recent login is required. Projects that already have Authentication on get it after turning Authentication off and on.
  • Google Pay environment: a new Environment dropdown in Stripe (Test or Production) sets the Google Pay mode.
  • Restore purchases: the RevenueCat service now includes restorePurchases(). Only new projects get it.
  • SSH keys in local projects: an Access Token | SSH Key tab bar for local Git credentials, and ssh:// and user@host:path remote URLs are accepted. Keys are looked up in HOME, then USERPROFILE.
  • Later on key reminders: the Important! dialog for the Android signing key and the iOS certificate now has a Later button.
  • Unsaved changes warning: the web app asks before you leave while files are still unsaved (not in the playground or guest projects).

Improved ⚙️​

  • Code Nowa can't load: top-level code Nowa doesn't load (functions, typedefs, exports, extension types) is kept as written, with its comments and in file order, when Nowa rewrites the file. Only load failures are listed in Problems for that file.
  • Files Nowa didn't change: Dart is formatted with the package's SDK language version, as dart format does, so untouched code keeps its style. YAML is edited in place, keeping comments, quoting and layout. nowa_runtime and nowa_mobile_ads are only bumped when their constraint rules out the current version. New projects declare SDK ^3.8.0.
  • Pubspec assets: refreshing the pubspec keeps the project's own assets entries (other folders, files, and path:, flavors: and transformers: entries) and only adds or drops Nowa's assets/ folders.
  • Platform files: App Name, permissions and bundle ID now patch only Nowa's part of AndroidManifest.xml, Info.plist and build.gradle(.kts) instead of rewriting them.
  • Widget sizes on the board: a widget without a size fits its content instead of 400 × 400, up to the device's width. Content that can't be measured (scroll views, LayoutBuilder) takes the device's size. Library previews are measured the same way, and resizing a canvas no longer writes auto width or height into the widget's code.
  • Supabase edge functions: deployed with the JWT check on, and only stripe-webhook stays public. Pull Backend Files records each function's verify_jwt and Set up Backend uses it, and the setup summary lists public functions. A public function in a bundle pulled before 3.14 gets the check on its next deploy, so pull the bundle again to keep it public.
  • Stripe: regenerating the payment service only touches Nowa's own members and skips any you edited. Each migration, deploy and secret step reports its own error. The webhook returns 500 when STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET isn't set.
  • Firebase Connect Apps: can be retried after a failure, shows the real error (the app limit only for quota errors), stops waiting after about 5 minutes, and saves the project right away when auto save is on.
  • Firebase clean-up: disconnecting removes google_sign_in (including its iOS config), and turning Email/Password off removes sendPasswordResetEmail().
  • Deep links: Flutter's deep link handling stays on so links reach the router, the fixed open.my.app host is removed (Host is for Android App Links only), saving a field updates every platform file, and Info.plist holds CFBundleURLTypes once. If your project has its own app_links listener, switch Flutter's deep link handling off by hand.
  • Package versions: the Enabled switch installs the integration's pinned version, so packages like RevenueCat's no longer clash. The Version of a git or path package is read-only.
  • Library: search results are grouped Project, Built-in, Packages, Assets, so Enter picks a built-in widget before a package one. New Model and New Global State open the new file, View Only members can't edit through the Library, and adding a template to an existing project adds its packages.
  • Scaffold slots: an App Bar, FAB, Bottom Navigation Bar or Drawer dropped on a screen goes into the Scaffold's slot.
  • Assets: renaming or moving an asset updates widgets that use its path, and undo puts them back.
  • Missing packages: the check covers the whole dropped tree, including drops from outside the board, and Add Missing Dependencies can always be cancelled and shows a failed install.
  • Detach: replaces the component's parameters with the values passed to it, or their defaults. A component that uses its own state can't be detached, and says so.
  • Menus and search: one menu design with a pinned search, fuzzy matching with highlighted matches, and arrow keys, Enter and Esc. The board, package and Git branch pickers use it, and a menu closes when what opened it is pressed again.
  • New look: colors and text styles across Nowa now come from one set of design tokens, and Run and New project are split buttons.
  • Problems panel: rebuilt, and the code editor's error banner opens the console's Problems tab. Guests and the playground see "Code check needs an account" instead of an error.
  • Flutter processes: Nowa stops the Flutter processes it started when it exits, even after a crash. Local projects start Nowa Run when the preview is opened, not when the project opens.
  • Flutter SDK install: extracting the SDK no longer freezes the window.
  • Imported projects: open on the package's first board instead of a new empty one.
  • Run on: devices and emulators are refreshed every time the menu opens, an emulator gets one retry after a timeout, and errors show in the menu.
  • Restore Checkpoint: says "Undo N Requests?" and lists the files of every request it undoes.
  • Error messages: no longer start with "Exception: " and stay on screen for 4 seconds.
  • Status bar: the error count opens Problems, and the warning and info counts open Logs.
  • Server errors: a 503 opens maintenance mode and other server errors open the server error screen, instead of sending you to sign in.
  • Board requests: in design mode, Dio requests get a mocked response, so the board no longer sends real requests.
  • REST API: an x-www-form-urlencoded body uses the plain text editor, Ctrl/Cmd + Z undoes request body edits, and None shows in the Select API, Supabase and Firestore pickers. The DOWNLOAD method is no longer offered (requests already using it still open).
  • Circuit: functions with for, switch, break or continue now open, with those statements shown as an Edit in code mode node.
  • Dart support: try/catch with on types, if (x case ...) with guards, and closures with named or optional parameters now run in the designer. A widget with only named constructors defaults to the first public one.
  • iOS certificate key: the key must be a PEM private key, the picker offers .pem, .key and .p12, and the download is a .pem file.
  • Publishing: a failed code check stops web publish instead of leaving it on Deploying, a failed build start no longer greys out Deploy and Build, and iOS builds use the project's current bundle ID.
  • AI chat: Attach text file works on the web, and Auto-approve tools (all connectors) is in the Supabase MCP menu too.
  • Shortcuts: the Shortcuts sheet matches the real keys, Windows and Linux show Ctrl hints, sidebar tooltips show the right numbers, and Ctrl/Cmd + B only opens the board picker in design mode.
  • Passwords: a new password needs at least 8 characters.
  • New dialogs: the suggested name is selected, so typing replaces it.
  • Playground: a playground too large to keep in the browser now says so instead of silently reverting to an older copy.
  • Other touches: a new Slider follows the theme's Primary color, the Empty Page template offers device sizes, View Only members get Copy and Export on the board, and only owners see member actions.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed Accept Local after Bring my changes throwing away your own edits, because the Local and Remote panes were swapped.
  • Fixed Accept Remote sometimes writing the next file's text into the file you resolved.
  • Fixed accepting one conflicted file clearing every conflict.
  • Fixed deleting an imported local project deleting its folder. Older entries now name the folder in a Delete Project and Files dialog.
  • Fixed Remove on a group deleting every child but the first.
  • Fixed local Revert only staging the undo instead of committing it, and Revert and Undo doing nothing but reporting success when there were uncommitted changes.
  • Fixed a missing Git identity showing a raw error, and local pulls dropping conflicts and errors from their merge.
  • Fixed Firestore collections and queries missing from the pickers after reopening a project, until Refresh was clicked.
  • Fixed the Firestore query builder's add and doc steps failing with "The function 'add' isn't defined", and clicking a query parameter blanking the builder.
  • Fixed Firebase Google sign-in code not compiling against google_sign_in 7.x.
  • Fixed an expired Google sign-in during Send Test Notification disconnecting Firebase from the project.
  • Fixed the Firebase iOS app being registered with a re-cased bundle ID.
  • Fixed removing Google keeping "Managed by Firebase", and the phone auth toggle not being saved.

  • Fixed Supabase Connect staying on "Waiting for Authorization..." when no organization was found.
  • Fixed Supabase template functions getting invalid names like getAllTodo Items.
  • Fixed Fix with AI saying the backend was already configured. The prompt now names the failed step, the error and the migration SQL.
  • Fixed Open Supabase doing nothing for some hosts, and the backend bundle being unknown after reopening a project.
  • Fixed typing / in a Details field focusing the AI chat, which saved paths like /product/:id as product:id.
  • Fixed Create Variable... on a property left at its default making a variable with no value.
  • Fixed Min length and Max length validators losing their number.
  • Fixed Navigator, GoRouter, Media Query and Show snackbar being offered in functions with no context.
  • Fixed switching a screen's group from Column to Row breaking its App Bar.
  • Fixed Route Settings dropping edits to a route's Path and a parameter's Default value, Add Redirect Logic still showing +, and Full Path keeping the old path.
  • Fixed Google Maps and AdMob fields missing after reopening a project.
  • Fixed Import from curl keeping only the path.
  • Fixed false "Undefined name 'headers'" problems in Dio interceptors.
  • Fixed the Dropdown Value row editing the wrong property, and Create Param... hitting a null check.
  • Fixed void functions missing from an event's link menu.
  • Fixed a pending custom domain that couldn't be removed.
  • Fixed Attach all on the shared preview throwing, and the Single Screen Preview warning showing on screens that have a route.
  • Fixed playing another screen still showing the first one.
  • Fixed the AI chat toolbar breaking in the playground when signed out.
  • Fixed Linux starting on a black window without NetworkManager, and Browse doing nothing without a file dialog portal.
  • Fixed failed Figma, Supabase and GitHub connections waiting without saying why.

  • Fixed a big zoom step breaking the board view, even after a reload.
  • Fixed T, R and V switching tools while renaming.
  • Fixed a Bottom Navigation Bar set through the Scaffold slot not being connected.
  • Fixed a Shift-drag leaving its screen, and dragging across an app bar turning Auto sizes into fixed ones.
  • Fixed a canvas going blank on a Row or Column emptied by its ifs, and a board loading forever when a file it depends on was moved or deleted.
  • Fixed Add to board on a variant putting its preview function inside the app.
  • Fixed Cmd/Ctrl + K needing a second click after clicking outside a text field.
  • Fixed holding the mouse on the board opening the context menu.

  • Fixed Set up on a Deploy row opening the Android tab, and Download code spinning forever.
  • Fixed build logs showing HTML entities, and Explain with AI sending raw HTML.
  • Fixed picking a $ variable selecting the whole field.
  • Fixed the feedback popup coming back and stealing focus.
  • Fixed the Web View documentation link, the Library filter saying "Classs", Create Theme Setup naming the wrong files, and several labels and typos in dialogs.

3.13.0 (6 October 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Library panel: replaces the Widgets panel. One searchable list of your screens, components, models, global states, classes, functions and variables, the widgets in your packages, Nowa's built-in widgets and Flutter's libraries, and your assets. Filter it by kind, turn sources on and off with the Project, Packages, Built-in and Assets chips, insert with drag and drop or Ctrl/Cmd + Enter, and jump to the code with Show in code.
  • Add and go to from the keyboard: Ctrl/Cmd + K and the toolbar's Widget tool open the Library ready to add a widget. In the designer, Ctrl/Cmd + O opens it to go to one.
  • Back and Forward: arrows in the top bar, and Ctrl + - / Ctrl + Shift + - (Control on macOS too), step through the screens and files you opened.
  • Board picker: the board chip lists every board in your project, with search, rename, delete and Create new board. Ctrl/Cmd + B opens it.
  • Linux desktop app: a 64-bit .tar.gz with an install.sh that adds Nowa to your app menu. On Linux, updates are downloaded from the update dialog, and your app's preview opens in your browser.
  • Widget variants from @Preview: each Flutter @Preview becomes a named variant of its widget, shown next to the component, as a choice in the widget picker, and under the widget in the Library.
  • Theme extensions in the pickers: the color picker has a tab per theme extension next to Material, and the text style picker groups each extension's styles.
  • Default option first in the dropdown of an enum property that can be left empty.
  • Branch search in the Git branch menu.
  • Package support: gap, flutter_animate, google_fonts and smooth_page_indicator now work in the designer.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Files panel: now in code mode only, with keyboard navigation, and several selected files drag into a folder together.
  • Menus and shortcuts: Bring forward, Send backward, Bring to front and Send to back replace the old move entries, and Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Option + ] or [ moves a widget all the way. Key hints list modifiers in Mac order (⌃⌥⇧⌘), and menus close when the board pans or zooms.
  • Packages: in local projects, git: and path: dependencies load as packages, and sdk: dependencies like flutter_localizations count as installed.
  • Hand-written code on the board: relational and && switch patterns, named arguments passed to super(...), callable classes, firstWhere(orElse:) and more. Screens from open-source apps like compass_app and Wonderous render.
  • Placeholders: a package widget Nowa can't draw is a small box sized to its label, one that wraps a child shows the child, unset optional colors and enums keep the widget's own defaults, and a placeholder image with no size is 48 × 48 px.
  • Local projects: dependencies added to pubspec.yaml outside Nowa load without reopening the project, and hidden editor temp files are never loaded as code.
  • nowa_runtime 0.2.0: no longer includes smooth_page_indicator. Projects that use it get a Page indicator migration dialog that adds it to pubspec.yaml.
  • Playing from a title: playing a screen or component from its title also selects it.
  • New look: refreshed buttons, lists, trees and menus.
  • Announcements: at most two banners at a time, and expired announcements no longer show as banners.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed edits made in another editor right after Nowa saved being ignored in local projects.
  • Fixed part and library lines being dropped when Nowa saved a file.
  • Fixed a hand-written main() being rewritten by Nowa.
  • Fixed a project's own LocalizationsDelegate blanking the board when it failed to load.
  • Fixed screens painting outside their frame on the board, so overflow, error boxes and blurs no longer cover the screens next to them.
  • Fixed snap guides that didn't line up with widgets at some zoom levels.
  • Fixed Material 2 themes showing a grey background behind widgets on the board.
  • Fixed the editor's font, which fell back to the system font instead of Albert Sans.
  • Fixed .nowa/settings.json being rewritten by every new release, which showed up as a change in Git.
  • Fixed index.html files that inline Flutter's bootstrap being replaced when Nowa opened the project.
  • Fixed the Shortcuts sheet showing the wrong key for adding a widget, and the right-click menu showing one key for both move entries.

3.12.5 (25 September 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Play any board item: Instant Play now works on any item on the board, including plain widgets and wrapped components, not only screens and components. Right-click a widget and choose Play to play the item it belongs to, and while something plays, select another item to play that one instead.
  • Switch branches with local changes: switch or create a Git branch without committing first. Changes that don't clash with the other branch come along automatically. When they do clash, Nowa asks before bringing them along and opens the conflict resolver if they don't apply cleanly. Unsaved edits are saved before switching. Works in local and cloud projects.
  • Images for connected agents: the new add_image_assets tool lets Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor add images from links (like the asset links Figma's MCP returns) or from local files. Nowa downloads them into assets/images/ and registers them in pubspec.yaml. Supports PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG.
  • Package support: equatable (classes extending Equatable or using EquatableMixin compare by their props), auto_size_text, and package:collection iterable extensions like mapIndexed and flattened now work in the designer.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Big board performance: up to 50x faster on big boards. Canvases build one per frame with the visible ones first, off-screen canvases hold their rebuilds until they're back in view, animations and timers only run on the canvas you're hovering, selecting, or playing, and when more than 8 canvases are in view the rest are drawn from a snapshot. Panning no longer rebuilds canvas titles.
  • Faster project opening: the analysis of packages from the pub cache is now saved on disk and reused across sessions, only each package's API is read, and packages are analyzed one at a time so they no longer wait on each other.
  • Widgets panel previews: previews play their animations for a moment, then pause, and are no longer rebuilt from scratch every time the panel updates.
  • Snapping: moving and resizing snap more precisely to nearby edges and centers, and resizing only snaps the edge being dragged.
  • FlutterFlow projects: pages calling safeSetState, custom functions called through an import prefix, streams of Firestore records, and flags written as flag! now render in the designer with placeholder data. A field whose stream can't start without Firebase no longer stops the whole page from rendering.
  • Placeholder widgets: a widget the designer has no value for now shows as a small slot instead of taking over the layout.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed projects that import the same files from nearly everywhere, like the theme and utility files in FlutterFlow exports, hanging while loading their dependencies.
  • Fixed screens that import a design system through a single file that re-exports it rendering before the theme it re-exports had loaded.
  • Fixed custom app bars that extend AppBar being rejected as a screen's app bar.
  • Fixed custom fonts declared in pubspec.yaml showing as a default font on the canvas. Font families now load under their own names in every weight, and Nowa keeps your own font declarations (families, weights, styles) when it updates the pubspec, instead of replacing them.
  • Fixed stateful components running didUpdateWidget before receiving their new values and without oldWidget, which kept components like text fields from reacting to their new values.
  • Fixed overrides that read super, like an app bar overriding leading, calling themselves until the editor froze.
  • Fixed constructors that set fields in their initializer list, like a tab bar creating its TabBar there, leaving those fields empty in the designer.
  • Fixed gradient masks: a ShaderMask given a method like gradient.createShader now paints its gradient.
  • Fixed NotificationListener passing its callback notifications of other types, which could stop the canvas from responding to the mouse.
  • Fixed components with animations showing an error when removed from the board, and not restarting when shown again.
  • Fixed a missing SVG file taking down the whole canvas. Now only that image stays empty.
  • Fixed SVG colors defined with CSS variables turning black when saved from the AI chat or by a connected agent.
  • Fixed theme extensions from a previously opened project carrying over into the next one.
  • Fixed date pickers failing in the designer when their optional dates were filled with placeholder values.
  • Fixed items that size themselves playing at the wrong size in Instant Play.
  • Fixed several Dart expressions in the designer: int values assigned to double properties (like Paint()..strokeWidth = 2), ??, && and || with an await operand, method calls on dynamic values, optional named parameters in function types, and RegExp defaulting to case-insensitive.

  • Figma MCP: connect your Figma account and Nowa AI can bring your images and icons (SVGs included) into your project as assets, and turn your Figma colors and text styles into your app's theme. Turn it on from the Figma icon in the AI chat, and connect or disconnect anytime from Account Details → Connected Accounts. Works in cloud and local projects, and is available to everyone.
  • One-click web support: when the in-app preview can't run because your app has no web/ folder, Nowa explains why and can add web support for you.
  • Problems panel filter: choose whether Nowa checks only the code it generated or All files in your project.
  • Package problems: the Problems panel now lists packages that failed to load and why, and points out when a package is only a dev dependency.
  • Permissions for connected agents: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor can now add or remove platform permissions through Nowa's settings, the same way the Permissions panel does.
  • Claude Code setup command: the Connect External Agent dialog now includes a ready-made Claude Code command to copy and run.

Improved ⚙️​

  • Dart support: Nowa now opens and renders much more hand-written Flutter code, including Dart 3 patterns in switch expressions and destructuring, InheritedWidgets, mixins, enhanced enums, redirecting constructors, super. parameters, widgets that extend other widgets (your own or Flutter's), and generic function references like identity<int>.
  • Theme extensions: themes can now hold up to 8 theme extensions, up from 5.
  • Partial file loading: code Nowa can't read yet is skipped on its own, so the rest of the file still loads, and the Problems panel shows what was skipped.
  • Placeholder values: components that take records or typed lists now render in the designer with sensible placeholder values.
  • Null-aware chains: ?. in widget arguments now resolves to null in the designer instead of breaking the widget, and is saved exactly as written instead of being turned into !.
  • Project checks: valid projects without a main.dart or web/ folder, like packages or mobile-only apps, are no longer flagged as broken.
  • Problems on open: the Problems panel waits for packages to finish loading before reporting, so it no longer shows false errors while a project opens.
  • Board performance: smoother panning and zooming, plus faster code loading and lookups, especially in bigger projects.
  • Safer AI edits: an edit that would leave a Dart file with syntax errors is now refused and nothing is written, so a typo can't turn into mangled code. Applies to Nowa AI and connected agents.
  • Imports after AI edits: a file's imports now update automatically after an AI edit.
  • AI code checks: when flutter analyze can't run, the AI is told so instead of treating the project as clean.
  • Connected agent guidance: agents receive Nowa's building rules as soon as they connect, and can ask for them again at any time.
  • Agent screenshots: now report widgets that failed to build, overflows, and placeholder values, so agents can find and fix layout issues themselves.
  • Agent safeguards: edits based on an outdated widget reference are refused instead of landing on a neighboring widget, and switching projects is blocked while the current one has failed to save.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed the board not updating when changing its color or grid.
  • Fixed the Libraries panel missing from the sidebar after the top bar was rebuilt.
  • Fixed one canvas that fails to build leaving every canvas after it stuck on its loading placeholder.
  • Fixed widgets that extend a widget from another file sometimes loading as plain classes and not rendering.
  • Fixed constructors written by a connected agent being dropped instead of applied.
  • Fixed packages in local projects sometimes failing to load when several resolved at the same time.
  • Fixed the screenshot tool for connected agents.

3.12.0 (15 September 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Connect your own AI agent: the Nowa desktop app can now be driven by Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor. Your agent can open and switch projects, see your screens, components, theme and current selection, build with Nowa's own tools, open a screen or highlight a widget on the canvas, take a screenshot, and save, all while your board keeps up. Enterprise only for now, so email team@nowa.dev if you'd like access.
  • Workspace and monorepo support: import a Flutter app that lives inside a bigger repository, choose which package Nowa edits, and switch packages from a chip in the top bar. Git keeps covering the whole repository.
  • Sign in with Apple: sign in to Nowa with your Apple ID on the web and on iOS.
  • Git over SSH: local projects can push and pull over SSH, using a key you choose or the keys already loaded in your ssh-agent.
  • Component descriptions: write a short description for any screen or component in the details panel, right next to its fields.
  • Preview links for a single screen: playing a screen from the board now produces a share link that opens on that exact screen.
  • Go to definition: hold ⌘ (or Ctrl) in the code editor and click a name to jump to where it's defined.
  • Constructor picker: choose which constructor to use for widgets that offer more than one.
  • Diff navigator: move between changes in the diff view instead of scrolling to find them.
  • Cloning progress: see how far along a project is while it clones from GitHub.
  • Custom app bars: your own widgets can now be used as a screen's app bar.

Improved ⚙️​

  • A tidier interface: the top bar was rebuilt and the dashboard cleaned up.
  • Code mode: switching to code now jumps to the code behind the widget you had selected, and the run and preview controls stay available while you're there.
  • Formatting: Nowa now reads your project's own rules from analysis_options.yaml, so saved files keep the shape your project already uses and diffs only show what actually changed.
  • Project sync and loading: faster and lighter when opening and syncing projects.
  • Login screen: now works with your password manager's autofill.
  • Build quota: running out of builds now shows a clear message explaining what happened.
  • Field initializers in the designer: widgets that set up their fields on creation now render and edit correctly.

Fixed 🩹​

  • Fixed $ inside a text value breaking the text it sat in, so prices like $20 stay as typed.
  • Fixed variables inside loops losing their value.
  • Fixed Firebase screens not displaying correctly in the designer.
  • Fixed images stored inside packages not rendering.
  • Fixed Git leaving a project stuck in a merge conflict after a commit.
  • Fixed the outline and top bar falling out of sync with the current selection.

Gemini 3.7 Flash Upgrade (13 August 2026)​

📰 See the highlights of this release in What's new.

Added 🌟​

  • Nowa AI now runs on Gemini 3.7 Flash — the agent moved to Google's new model the day it launched, replacing Gemini 3.6 Flash.
  • Double the daily limits on every plan — 3.7 Flash costs 50% less than the model it replaces, and we passed the full saving on. Effective immediately, at the same price, with nothing to claim or upgrade.

Improved ⚙️​

  • UI generation — 3.7 Flash is ranked #1 on Code Arena for building real, working interfaces, so screens come out right on the first try more often.
  • Design fidelity — the agent follows a screenshot, image, or design system far more faithfully than before.
  • Long, multi-step tasks — long-horizon engineering work improved from 49% to 65% on the DeepSWE benchmark, meaning fewer dropped threads and fewer retries.
  • Code quality — production code quality improved from 34.4% to 43.6% on FrontierCode, so less debugging after a build.
  • Token efficiency — the new model completes the same task using fewer tokens, so credits stretch further on top of the doubled limits.
  • Agent improvements — a round of improvements to the agent itself, with a particular focus on UI generation.
