Week of May 25, 2026 — Bring Your Own AI & Guided Mobile Setup

May 25th, 2026

This was a big week: the web dashboard got friendlier credit and account handling, and the mobile app added guided setup and themes.

Genie Web App

Pick your plan before creating a server — Onboarding always shows your plan options first, including a clear free-trial choice, and tells you up front if your trial is used up instead of failing midway.
Run out of credits? Bring your own AI — When credits run out, you can top up or connect your own Claude, Codex, or Gemini access from a new dedicated settings tab.
Add another account with Deva — Sign in with Deva to keep multiple accounts side by side.

Easier-to-read themes — Colors and contrast were tuned across light and dark modes, with visual swatches in the theme picker.
Clearer upgrade progress — Upgrading to a paid server now shows a live "migrating" state and tells you when it finishes or rolls back.
Updated file browser — A refreshed profile menu and a clearer, easier-to-read file tree.
Refreshed sign-in page — The login screen was redesigned to match the new look.

Account switching — Switch, add, and sign out of accounts reliably from the menu and during onboarding.
Home composer opens full chat — Typing on the home screen takes you straight into the full conversation instead of a cramped side panel.
Friendlier limits on checkpoint notes — Overly long checkpoint comments are declined with a clear message instead of failing unexpectedly.

Guided new-user setup — A step-by-step flow walks you through picking a plan, creating your server, connecting an AI provider, and linking chat channels.
Switch between multiple accounts — Sign in with several accounts and switch between them, with chats and settings kept separate.
Eight color themes — New palettes so the app matches the web look and your taste.
Attach images and files in terminal — Send images and files directly from the terminal.

Clearer plan choice with free trial — You always see your plan options up front, including a free-trial card.
Redesigned credits and subscription pages — A cleaner, easier-to-read layout.
Tidier settings and channels — Channel setup lives under Settings with a back button, and collapsed sections stay how you left them.

Terminal connects reliably — Fixed the terminal getting stuck on "Connecting…" and added a clear reason when it can't connect.
Multi-account token isolation — Switching accounts no longer leaks sign-in state between sessions.
Free-tier quota detection — Running out is detected reliably from server responses.
