# Changelog

What's new in Pally: new features, improvements, and bug fixes, day by day.

## Actively working on
- Pally inside ChatGPT and Claude: chat with your Pally and hand it errands from the AI apps you already use.
- A hosted Mac in the cloud, for always-on iMessage and private compute, with setup and repairs that ask less of you.
- Custom automations that can do everything Pally can do in chat, with honest progress updates along the way.
- A smoother start with Pally: fewer setup questions, a faster first useful result, richer gift codes, and referral rewards tied to real upgrades.
- Kinder plan limits that ease off gradually instead of pausing your automations, with clear answers about your usage.
- Pally that adapts to you: sharper memory of your projects and past chats, briefs that drop asks you ignore, and routines and playbooks proven across Pally.
- Cleaner approvals: previews shown once with exactly what goes out, read-only Mac commands that run without asking, and standing rules that reliably apply.
- Web errands done for you: a private encrypted vault for logins and cards, easier website sign-ins, and checkouts that leave only payment to you.
- Sharing your Apple Photos library with Pally, so it can find and use your own pictures.
- Faster web answers with better sources, smarter nearby-place recommendations with friendly links, accurate capability answers, and reliability polish.

## 2026-08-19

### New features
- Pally can now really edit photos you send: change hair or clothing, swap a background, or remove objects, not just crop and resize.
- You can now give an attachment a clean filename when Pally emails it for you.
- Pally now transcribes voice notes it reads in WhatsApp and iMessage, keeps the audio, and makes the transcript searchable.
- You can now sign up for one specific thing, like daily affirmations or important-email alerts, and Pally sets it up in your very first conversation.

### Improvements
- Pally's first hello now offers one clear starting point: connect an app for an immediate payoff, or hand over the admin task you hate doing most.
- Background tasks now use the right level of AI for each job, so routine work uses much less of your plan allowance.
- Flight searches now keep every live option and show complete outbound and return flight details.
- Cloud Mac setup now completes only after your Messages history has freshly synced.
- Web errands like sign-ins and checkouts get past more site protections and recover from stalls more reliably.
- Pally can now save and edit much larger files sent in chat.
- Approval rules you set now apply to automations and background work too, so pre-approved sends go out without asking again.
- Reminders only count as done once the message has actually reached you, and they arrive even when other nudges are turned down.
- Email searches now read every matching message instead of stopping early, and hand truly huge jobs to a background task.
- If you prefer single-message replies, they now arrive as one message everywhere, including watched conversations.
- iMessages approved while your Mac is offline now send automatically when it reconnects, exactly once.
- Connection pages recover in place: if a sign-in fails you can retry right there, and apps that cannot connect yet are no longer offered.
- Pally reports what actually happened: an action it cannot confirm is never described as sent or failed.
- Web research keeps working when a search provider runs out of capacity, and says which source answered.

### Bug fixes
- Editing and deleting Apple Calendar events works again.
- Your plan now shows correctly when Pro came from a referral or a gift, with its end date, and a gift month cannot be applied twice.
- Terminal commands you already approved no longer ask again because of a home-folder path or a similar command name.
- Pally keeps your role straight in the deals and documents it reads, so it stops mixing you up with the other side of a conversation.
- Email approvals now always show the attachments being sent, and appear fully in your language.
- Fixed a rare case where a sent email was reported as failed, which could cause a duplicate send.
- Background tasks paused by plan limits now resume reliably after your budget resets.
- Progress updates in group chats no longer cause an extra follow-up message.
- Briefs are better at not repeating items you have already seen.

## 2026-08-18

### New features
- You can set each automation's priority and see its requested and effective cadence in chat or the dashboard.

### Improvements
- New conversations start with one useful task or a reply-ready example instead of a setup interview.
- Pally now weighs recent interruptions, quiet hours, waiting approvals, notification preferences, and automation priority before sending discretionary alerts.
- Broad connected-app searches now explain what Pally checked and whether the result was complete, partial, or unavailable.
- Questions about your location and recent meetings now get instant answers instead of waiting on background work.
- If an AI provider hiccups mid-reply, Pally now recovers in the same turn instead of going quiet.
- Long conversations stay focused, and detailed guidance loads only when it is relevant.

### Bug fixes
- Weekly Pally updates now keep their useful detail and arrive as separate, readable bullet messages.
- Splitwise no longer appears as connectable while its sign-in is unavailable.
- Separate reminder times no longer disappear as duplicates, and a quiet chat no longer pauses your automations.
- Replacement verification codes coalesce cleanly, while reusable passwords and other lasting secrets are never relayed as one-time codes.
- Questions about a waiting approval cannot send it accidentally, and an expired referenced draft is recreated before Pally asks again.

## 2026-08-16

### Improvements
- Adding Pally to a group chat works right away again, and its replies land in the right thread.
- App-connect links no longer expire on you: every link now opens a page that keeps working, with a retry button right there. Pally also stopped pushing replacement links when you haven't clicked yet.
- Checkout and sign-in errands in Pally's browser are steadier: sessions recover from brief hiccups instead of starting over.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed Apple Calendar reads that could fail intermittently.
- Asking Pally to disconnect an app now finds the right control every time.

## 2026-08-15

### New features
- When a command on your Mac asks for a password or other input, Pally now hands you a secure one-time page to type it from anywhere, and feeds it straight to the waiting prompt.
- Custom pipelines Pally builds can now finish app sign-ins without your terminal: providers redirect to a secure Pally page and your pipeline picks up the result automatically.
- Pally can now write API keys and credentials directly into a project's settings file on your Mac, without the values ever appearing in chat.

### Improvements
- Important-email alerts now arrive within seconds of the email landing.
- When several messages arrive while Pally is replying, you now get one coherent answer that covers them all, instead of dropped or repeated replies.
- Approving a drafted message is sturdier: an approved draft sends reliably, even when you approve it a while later.
- Pally now stays aware of a much larger approval queue, so batch work like queuing 100 LinkedIn rejections stays organized with one tidy summary instead of a wall of texts.

## 2026-08-14

### New features
- Every Sunday evening, Pally now sends you a short recap of what shipped in Pally that week. You can pause it anytime.
- Full auto mode is here: with one clear confirmation, Pally can act for you without asking each time, within spending limits you set. Everything it does on its own shows in a new Activity feed on your dashboard, and you can say "pause full auto" anytime.
- You can now set standing permissions in plain language, like "coding work never needs approval, but always check before messaging anyone", and Pally follows them everywhere.
- Pally now has a secure page for handing over API keys and passwords, so you never paste secrets into chat. Keys are checked the moment you provide them, and you can see and revoke them from your dashboard.
- When Pally builds you a custom pipeline, it can use Pally's own transcription and summarization, so you don't need your own AI accounts.

### Improvements
- Building things with Pally on your Mac asks for permission far less: one project approval covers the work, simple look-only checks always run, and long builds no longer get cut off early.
- New app integrations are quicker and less fiddly: Pally verifies its approach will work before building and collects everything it needs from you up front in one list.
- Cloud Mac sign-in is faster: it opens the Apple Account screen directly instead of restoring a stale lock screen.
- Pally now texts you the moment an important email lands, like a document to sign, a payment problem, or a direct ask from a real person.
- Alerts arrive once per item, and Pally no longer follows up on its own unless you asked it to keep chasing something.
- Your morning brief is leaner: no more counts of skipped items, lists of lingering open loops, or housekeeping notes.
- Pally no longer alerts you about notifications sent by your other AI assistants.
- Temporary requests like "mute alerts for 24 hours" now expire on time instead of sticking around.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed repeated retry notices about a message that was never actually queued.
- Several waiting confirmations now arrive as one reminder instead of a string of separate texts.

## 2026-08-13

### New features
- You can now book the exact flight you picked in chat: Pally sends a secure checkout that opens on your chosen flight at the live price, then confirms the booking and tracks changes. Cancellations refund straight back to your card.
- Email signatures are here: manage your Gmail and Outlook signatures from your dashboard, let Pally suggest one from your past sent emails, and new emails Pally sends use them automatically.

### Improvements
- Connected-app status now keeps public read sources available and labels every WhatsApp account clearly, even when an account has no custom name.
- Outlook signature detection now retries temporary provider failures and never overwrites a signature you save while detection runs.
- HTML emails keep their formatting while removing internal identifiers and implementation errors before Pally sends them.
- Booking a flight is smoother and safer: checkout opens with your details pre-filled, times show in each airport's local time, and a booking that fails after payment refunds automatically.
- Pally can now clear big batches of LinkedIn connection requests in one go, and calmly explains when it spreads actions out to protect your account.
- Pally stays sharp through AI-provider outages: backup replies keep full quality and work in progress carries over instead of failing.
- Results from WhatsApp and other connected apps come back complete and readable, so Pally reasons from cleaner information.
- Pally reports connections more truthfully: Apple Mail and Calendar count correctly, and "connected" reflects live proof, not just saved setup.
- Calendar reads keep useful event links while bounding huge attendee lists, so one crowded event cannot hide the rest.
- Pally now gives accurate Mac companion directions for setup, updates, and quitting through the Pally icon in the menu bar.
- Coding tasks keep reporting progress through companion app updates, and can use temporary scratch files without asking approval for each one.
- The exact text you approve is the exact text that sends, never a paraphrase.
- Verification codes Pally relays keep their context line, and when your Mac is offline Pally always tells you a request is queued.
- Pally never mistakes its own texts for spam, and its phone-line health monitoring got stronger.
- Location sharing now runs fully through Pally's new iMessage provider; affected users got a one-time prompt to share again.
- Emails Pally sends from your Gmail or Outlook now carry a small "Sent with Pally" link, so recipients can discover Pally.

### Bug fixes
- The email signature editor now locks while it saves or removes a signature, so changes made during the request cannot disappear.
- Fixed a stretched Apple ID field on the dashboard's Apple connection form.
- Cloud Mac setup is sturdier: sign-in retries recover cleanly without duplicate sessions, hosted Macs stay awake through Apple sign-in, and interrupted restarts resume on the same page.
- Saying yes to a queued message just works: one confirmation sends it, a simultaneous text can't drop your answer, and a queued send can no longer quietly expire unasked.
- Coding tasks can finish the whole job: sessions can ask permission to push branches and open pull requests, long sessions no longer hit a silent time limit, and any base branch spelling works.
- Pally now notices when a coding task is stalled or waiting on your approval and tells you how to continue.
- Outlook calendar searches match attendee names, and empty results from large reads no longer look like missing data.
- Outlook calendar reads show the correct recurring events, exact totals for large date ranges, and correct times for events saved with Windows-style timezones.
- Deleting your Pally account no longer silently blocks signing up again with the same phone number, and deletion removes your name and contact details right away.
- Backup AI keeps custom automations running during provider outages.
- Existing iMessage group chats stay connected when Pally moves a phone line to its new messaging provider.
- Asking Pally to delete your account, unsubscribe, or connect an app now reliably reaches the right action.
- The same verification code is never relayed twice in a row, and repeating background updates are deduplicated.
- Stronger filters keep internal notes, placeholders, and system phrasing out of your messages, and offline errors name the right thing.

## 2026-08-12

### New features
- Pally now works with Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendars: reading your schedule, briefing your day, prepping meetings, and creating events, just like Google and Apple.
- You can now stop or redirect a longer errand while it runs: say "stop looking" or "actually only Italian places" and Pally adjusts on the spot.
- When Pally shows you options like restaurants or hotels, it can include photos.
- Custom automations can now send photos, files, and tapbacks, and generate images, just like the main chat.
- In group chats, generated videos and songs can be delivered in the thread or privately to just you.
- Pally can now send Apple Calendar invites with real invitation emails, and create true all-day events.
- You can now connect Square: appointments, payments, and customer info, with your confirmation before any change.
- Coding sessions now live in their own tidy Pally folder on your Mac: each task gets a fresh copy cloned from GitHub, and the first task on a repo asks which branch to build from and remembers.

### Improvements
- Smarter Outlook email alerts: Pally checks the whole thread, including your replies, so it stops nudging about emails you already handled.
- Longer errands are faster and more communicative: several checks run at once, the best options arrive within minutes, and progress updates and time estimates are honest and specific.
- Pally is better at finding the right capability for a request, so actions no longer disappear behind a wrong "I can't do that".
- Connecting Apple is more forgiving: an early-pasted app password is still captured securely, and disconnecting says up front that iCloud mail, calendar, and contacts share one connection.
- Pally remembers how you want it to talk to you, from style preferences to your language, across tips and background messages too.
- Send confirmations are now bulletproof: every send carries a receipt from the real send record, shown once with the recipient's real name, so Pally can never claim something went out when it didn't.
- Merging two contacts now asks you to confirm the exact records first.
- Pally repeats itself less: connection updates arrive as one message, unanswered check-ins stop repeating identically, and watchers that promise to check less often actually do.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed a setup gap where some users never got their morning brief created; once Pally knows your city, your brief starts and saved alerts reach you.
- Approving a queued message is dependable: no endless re-asking, a quick follow-up text can't drop your yes, the draft is always shown, and waiting messages never quietly time out.
- Contact records stay clean: no duplicate contacts from partial names, renames that wiped summaries, invented reminders, or facts folded onto the wrong person.
- Multi-day trips and all-day events show the right end date everywhere, and birthdays show in your own timezone.
- Briefs finish their own pass and never silently skip a day.
- Emails can't mention an attachment that isn't attached, and a send from a specific account uses exactly that account or checks with you first.
- Replies no longer arrive late behind an internal double-check retry, and background errands finish their write-ups reliably.
- A connected app stuck showing as disconnected after a setup glitch now restores itself.
- Forwarded verification codes always arrive complete: the code plus what it's for.
- Fixed Mac disconnect failing at the last step, a rare iCloud hiccup duplicating a calendar event, some phone calls failing to start, and an iMessage bug where an international number without its leading plus sign broke proactive messages.
- Reminders always produce a message at the promised time, generated images are confirmed delivered, and a misconfigured group chat gets told about instead of silence.

## 2026-08-11

### New features
- Pally can now actually read what your coding sessions are saying: ask "what did the review find?" and it quotes the real output, and it alerts you promptly when a session finishes or needs you.
- You can now pick the AI model for a coding session, and Pally shows which model each session runs.
- Pally is much better at public research: Reddit, TikTok, Google Maps listings and reviews, Amazon products and prices, plus deeper company and people research.
- Pally can now read YouTube video transcripts: send a link and ask for a summary.
- You can now ask Pally to generate AI videos and full songs, approving the exact price first, billed at provider cost with no markup.
- Pally now picks up your birthday from your conversations in any language and saves it to your profile.

### Improvements
- Every connected app now has a proper disconnect from chat, deleting its kept data and stopping the background helpers that depend on it.
- Automation feedback is smarter: "stop pulling from Slack" adjusts the automation the way you meant.
- Morning briefs remember what was recently resolved, so Pally won't chase something it already settled.
- Proactive alerts always carry the substance of what Pally found, not just a suggested reply.
- Approval requests spell out exactly who a message is going to before you say yes.
- Connection status is clearer and more honest, and plan limits and pricing read accurately in your currency.

### Bug fixes
- Connections are steadier: a brief Apple hiccup no longer demands a new app password, silently broken apps get noticed proactively, and half-finished connections complete themselves.
- Nothing sends without a clear yes to that exact action, and an approved action actually runs instead of expiring or getting lost.
- Pally checks its own work before claiming something was sent or saved, and failed background work always tells you what happened.
- Fixed Apple Calendar event updates and deletions, and stopped duplicate events.
- Messages are cleaner in your language: no internal shorthand, raw codes, untranslated template lines, or stray foreign snippets.
- Texting STOP after an unprompted message now immediately pauses proactive messages.
- Proactive updates repeat less: no identical hourly lists, duplicate notices, or surprise pairing codes.
- Fixed group chats that never replied because of how their chat identity was registered.
- Coding task status is truthful about lost sessions instead of showing "running" for days.

## 2026-08-10

### New features
- Flight booking is back: real bookable options, a secure checkout link, automatic confirmation, and Pally watches for airline changes to your trip.
- Pally can now use your Mac for you, right from chat: look at the screen, click and type, open apps, and run commands, with you deciding how much runs without asking first.
- Coding sessions now survive the Mac companion app restarting.
- You can now connect Granola and X straight from the dashboard's app catalog.

### Improvements
- Pre-meeting briefs are much richer: each person's background, notable writing, press, recent posts, and what you have in common.
- GitHub coding tasks work with whichever coding agent you use: @codex, @copilot, or any other bot, not only @claude.
- Questions about a specific link come back quicker, and a smarter web reader gets past more blocked pages to the actual article.
- Every connected app shows which account it belongs to, and Pally knows each connected email account's address.
- Connection answers are live: LinkedIn pairing status included, and Apple health checks test your real credentials.
- Browser errands now open phone-sized pages, so a tab Pally hands you fits your screen and you can actually see and type.
- Removed the Sunday evening weekly recap message; Pally now only reaches out when there is something genuinely useful to say.
- Pally paces its LinkedIn activity to protect your account, only reads your own network, and tells you when a rate-limited request is queued and for roughly how long.

### Bug fixes
- Coding sessions only ask before real changes (reading is always safe), and session status is accurate instead of a stale "starting up" or a stuck "running".
- Fixed a confusing error page that could appear right after successfully connecting an app.
- Background research reads your connected work apps directly instead of browsing the public site, and notices connections with missing permissions.
- Fixed tagging Pally in a group showing it typing and then never replying.
- Older connected accounts now show which account they are instead of a generic name.
- Pally confirms LinkedIn actually completed a message or connection request before saying it's sent.

## 2026-08-09

### New features
- Pally Max users can have Pally act on every new email or message automatically; other plans can do the same on an hourly schedule.
- Coding sessions gained full lifecycle controls: run Claude Code or Codex, say "let it run" to skip step-by-step approvals, run battery-quiet sessions, cancel or remove sessions with full cleanup, and idle projects tidy themselves up after a heads-up.
- Pally's background work now has full powers: long tasks finish jobs end to end with the same approval rules, instead of coming back read-only.
- You can now hand Pally a whole list, like a hundred items to research, and it works through every one as a single long job with a first-example check-in.
- After you connect your first account, Pally looks you up properly and opens with a friendly "here's what I found out about you".
- You can now ask Pally to file a bug report: say "report this bug" and Pally records what went wrong for the team and confirms it's filed.

### Improvements
- Pally is much better at long, deep tasks: tight internal step limits are gone, and paid plans have much bigger monthly budgets for background work.
- When something will take a while, Pally says so once up front, updates you only when something meaningful happens, and messages you when it's done. No filler.
- Pally is much better at reading your LinkedIn, and it now watches LinkedIn for you: important DMs get flagged, your morning brief covers LinkedIn, and it catches up after your Mac was asleep.
- Calendar answers are more reliable: leaner reads mean busy weeks and long event lists no longer get cut off.
- Briefs are sharper: must-send briefs always arrive, they can mention what was filtered out as noise, and Pally checks whether you already handled something before reminding you.
- When your proactive messages are paused, Pally offers to switch the right ones back on instead of promising alerts that can't fire.
- Pally learns your name automatically from connected accounts, and asks early if it can't find one.
- Big results from connected work apps come back clean and complete instead of cut off.
- When Pally can't attach a finished file to your chat, it texts you the content itself.

### Bug fixes
- Missing Google permissions are caught right when you connect, instead of failing later.
- Pally reliably finds its own tools for searching connected apps, instead of wrongly saying it can't.
- Solo calendar events are truly attendee-free, and a Google Meet link is only added when you ask.
- Pally tells you right away when it can't post to a group chat, and picks the right group when two share a name.
- Location sharing under an Apple ID email now links up properly, and affected users get a check-in to reconnect it.
- Receipt-forwarding automations actually forward instead of quietly expiring.
- Pally digs in and retries before saying something isn't possible, and a retried action you already approved actually runs.
- Pausing proactive messages covers every kind, stale "first look" recaps stopped, and a glitch that could cut a brief short is fixed.
- Repeating events on your Apple Calendar show up on the right days.
- Pally no longer says something was submitted while still working on it, and stopped offering features your plan doesn't include.
- Scheduled tips got fixes: correct numbering, deferred tips still send, and a draft that would read as an internal note gets rewritten first.
- Fixed garbled or missing Granola meeting reads, and an iCloud Mail glitch that wrongly called short emails empty.

## 2026-08-08

### New features
- Pally now keeps real trackers for you: calories, workouts, medications, sleep, anything you'd use a spreadsheet for, with accurate totals and trends, browsable in your dashboard.
- Pally can now work with your LinkedIn through your paired Mac: reading DMs, helping with replies, sending after your approval, and finding connections by meaning.
- Send a PDF into a group chat and Pally can read it for everyone, including scanned documents with no text layer.
- Pally can now actually unsubscribe you from unwanted emails using the email's own unsubscribe mechanism, with a dashboard page listing every unsubscribe it has done.

### Improvements
- Look-only commands on your Mac just run; anything that changes, sends, or deletes still asks first.
- Pally is much better at reading PDFs and documents: straight from Google Drive, through shared links, with the full text of long documents.
- Custom automations now have the same deep Slack and iMessage reading abilities as Pally itself.
- Starting coding agents is smoother: Pally knows which repos are on your Mac, offers to clone missing ones, and folder access sticks once approved.
- Pally double-checks before nudging you: it re-reads the conversation, counts voice-note replies as replies, checks inboxes fresh, and accounts for time passed when drafting late replies.
- Browser errands are more autonomous and honest: sign-in links only when needed, plain explanations when something goes wrong, and no refusing a confirmed checkout over harmless observations.
- Pally comes back with something useful from your first connected account within minutes, and its first reply just does the thing instead of asking you to connect more first.
- Onboarding is smarter: tips pick up where you left off in your language, expired links get refreshed proactively, and Pally is upfront that the Mac companion needs only a couple of folder grants, never full disk access.
- WhatsApp pairing instructions arrive as separate short texts so nothing gets lost.
- When your feedback on a draft is ambiguous, Pally asks what you meant.

### Bug fixes
- Alerts from a connected account can't silently stop: Pally notices a broken subscription, repairs it, and tells you if it can't.
- Scheduled recaps deliver the whole update you asked for.
- Rapid back-to-back texts read as one thought instead of "looks like your message got cut off".
- Reminders always carry the actual reminder text, never a stub like "done."
- Secure browser links no longer arrive already dead, and Google sign-in windows keep the keyboard available.
- A quick "ok" to a tip acts on that tip, and duplicate intros and connect links during your first days are gone.

## 2026-08-07

### New features
- You can now personalize your referral link with a custom code; old links keep working.
- Ask Pally to refer a specific friend: it drafts a personal intro you approve and sends it from your own accounts, then closes the loop when they join.
- Pally can now work with your Apple Notes: grant its Mac companion just your Notes folder and you can search, ask about, create, and edit notes right from chat.

### Improvements
- When something on Pally's side keeps failing, you hear about it each time you're affected, not once followed by silence.
- Pally is much less pushy about setup: no suggesting apps you've said no to, and connections only come up when actually needed.
- Browser sign-ins now persist across tasks, and shopping, tickets, and reservations get all the way to the final review step far more reliably, keeping their place through follow-ups like "actually make it two tickets".
- Pally always knows the full extent of what it can do: "can you...?" checks its real, live ability list.
- Hitting your monthly usage limit no longer cuts you off from chatting; Pally can explain what's paused and help you upgrade.
- Background work now runs on the same top-tier intelligence as live chat, and genuinely hard asks get deeper reasoning.
- Better recall in long conversations, and short follow-ups like "yes, book it" connect to what you were just discussing.
- Pally is more concise and faster: straight answers first, less waiting, and huge or stuck lookups no longer drag the whole reply.
- When you text something from your email, like a sign-in code, Pally sends just the answer without tacking on links.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug that made Pally go completely silent for some Max users.
- Messages sent while your plan was fully paused now get answered when reduced service kicks in.
- Mac companion setup always includes the correct download link, and Pally double-checks its own links before texting them.
- "Checking now, back in a sec" is always followed by an actual check.
- A quick "yeah" can no longer approve an older queued message by mistake; approvals stick to what you're actually replying to.
- Location reminders say up front when Share My Location isn't set up, and start working the moment it is.
- Fixed browser tasks breaking entirely after a staged purchase expired unconfirmed.
- Quick reminders are precise: scheduled from the moment you asked, with mistakes caught before confirming.
- Pally can tell you exactly which automations count toward your limit, "try again" retries the thing you just asked about, and a stray "---" divider glitch is cleaned up.

## 2026-08-06

### New features
- Pally now shares its contact card automatically with its first message.
- Pally can now run coding agents on your Mac: start Claude Code or Codex on separate copies of a project from chat, steer mid-run, and get pinged only when a session finishes, fails, or needs you. Risky commands ask first; sessions survive restarts.
- Pally in group chats now has the full toolkit: it can use your own connected apps on your own plan, with private answers to your DM and approvals still yours.
- Group chats got more personal: Pally can use your location for your own asks sharing only a general area, deliver sensitive files privately to your DM, and keep a real memory of the group's decisions and plans.
- Friends can join Pally right from a group chat with the usual referral perks, and anyone in a group can schedule personal updates posted into it.
- Pally can now send real photos: pictures of a restaurant or product arrive as actual photos, and recommendations come with a couple of photos for a feel.
- Verification code emails have a fast lane: a 2FA or sign-in code gets texted to you the moment it lands.
- Your morning brief now tracks the few most important open loops for you, with a quick way to drop any.
- Pally now knows when its messaging provider has an outage and can warn you about delays.

### Improvements
- Onboarding tips are friendlier and hands-on: each leads with Pally doing the thing for you.
- Updates in your own exact format keep your emojis and layout, and arrive as one message when you asked for one.
- Approval requests show what and to whom first, with "good to send?" at the end, and dictated exact messages send without re-confirming.
- When you tell Pally it missed an important email, it learns what mattered so the same kind gets surfaced next time.
- Plans with friends that still need a confirmation are a top priority over routine email noise.
- When you travel, briefs, reminders, and "tonight" follow the timezone you're actually in.
- Pally is quicker to say it's on it, and typing dots show only while it's actually writing.
- Group chats: Pally chimes in whenever a message says its name, and a simple "yes please" confirms an automation change.
- Pally checks your calendar, email, and files before asking you for details it can look up, and tells you straight away if your Mac goes offline while auto-replying for you.
- Ask about your LinkedIn network and Pally offers a real way to help via your connections export.
- Interrupted browser errands now pick up where they left off instead of starting over.

### Bug fixes
- Pally's contact card always carries the exact number your chat is on.
- Pally keeps track of WhatsApp and iMessage chats with similar names, remembering exactly which ones it offered.
- A cancelled-for-reschedule meeting gets a heads-up, not an unnecessary "happy to reschedule" draft.
- Finished background work always reaches your chat, with compiled documents as file attachments.
- Usage limits reset fairly when a trial ends or your plan changes.
- Fixed a jam that could run meeting prep, check-ins, and automations up to 45 minutes late.
- Group memories save reliably, and messages you asked Pally to send either go out or you're told.
- No more duplicate alerts when one email hits two inboxes, dropped texts, or vanished reminders.
- Auto-send contacts no longer stop to ask permission, and automations watching a specific email account fire reliably.
- Pally no longer mentions a suspicious "injection attempt" that never existed.
- Texts from your Mac use the contact's existing service (iMessage, RCS, or SMS) instead of always trying iMessage.
- Saying goodbye registers everywhere, so you stop getting active-user attention.

## 2026-08-05

### New features
- Pally can now read PDF attachments and extract the exact text from screenshots and photos, word for word.

- You can now connect Zoom for scheduling, updating, and cancelling meetings.
- Superhuman users get first-class support, including extras on Business and Enterprise plans.
- Alerts and briefs now come with the work already done: a ready-to-approve draft or a concrete proposed time when someone's waiting on you, across email, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Slack.
- Pally keeps a precise log of every action it takes: ask "did you send that email?" and get a straight answer, including an honest "that wasn't me".

### Improvements

- You can now text with Pally from Android phones: RCS and SMS as well as iMessage.
- The monthly caps on web research and browser tasks are gone on every plan.
- Web research is faster and more powerful, with stronger citations, and Pally can read many sites that used to block it.
- Email search on personal Hotmail and Outlook accounts digs much deeper and says how far back it looked.
- Codes you need to copy always arrive as their own message, and a stalled background job tells you instead of going quiet.
- When the same thing keeps needing attention, Pally suggests a lasting fix like a standing rule or unsubscribe.
- If a request needs a higher plan, Pally does the closest included version right away.
- Pally's tone is warmer and more personal, and it learns your tastes before booking or buying, asking once and remembering.
- Alert volume is smarter: it weighs how often it has already interrupted you, routes lower-priority items to your daily brief, and treats "quiet down" as a signal about all alerts.
- Calls pick up where your texts left off, and call summaries plainly say when an in-call request didn't go through.
- Pre-meeting briefs are sharper and cover same-day meetings too.
- Reminders and calendar saves retry through provider hiccups, and Pally replies a few seconds sooner to short questions.

## 2026-08-04

### New features
- New users get a short daily onboarding tip during their first days, each a concrete idea worth trying; existing users get the series once too.

### Improvements
- Email and Slack watching is more dependable: subscriptions are verified at connect and re-checked afterward, so alerts can't silently stop.
- Important-email alerts cover all your connected accounts, judge each email the moment it arrives instead of on a delay, and use Pally's own judgment instead of rigid keyword filters.
- Pally is better at understanding requests phrased your own way: connecting apps, current-info lookups, and dashboard asks rely on judgment, not keyword matching.
- Connected custom tools are much more reliable: inputs get checked against the tool's own rules first, and rejected steps get fixed instead of blindly retried.
- Pally is faster and smarter at finding files on your Mac, and more reliable at reading email, Slack, and calendar on the first try.
- Moving in from another assistant is smarter: only skills Pally can actually run come over, and dated notes are read with their date in mind.
- Reminders you've already handled won't fire anyway, and read-only tool steps stop asking approval at every step.
- More honest error messages, and notices about referral credits and call usage read like the rest of your conversation.
- Background work is more dependable during busy stretches, and carrier "message blocked" responses get useful next steps.
- Message alerts catch last-minute changes to today's plans without interrupting for routine chatter.
- Connecting WhatsApp is smoother: expired codes get replaced right away, the code arrives in its own easy-to-copy message, and the security notice is explained up front.

- You can move an approved scheduled message to a different time, including "just send it now".
- Calendar events got more capable: other calendars, repeating events, and reminders, with Meet links only on request.
- Honest calling answers: US-only calling stated up front, and you can test-call Pally anytime.
- Ask for a shared list or export and Pally offers a real shared Google Doc, Sheet, or Notion page it keeps updated.
- Pally won't lecture you about messages to your own friends, and tells you the real reason when a send isn't possible.
- Ask whether an automation actually ran and the answer comes from its real run history.

### Bug fixes
- Pally no longer replies to carrier auto-messages, so a blocked number can't trigger an endless loop.
- Failed texts get retried automatically and only while still fresh, and Pally is truthful about which channel a message actually went through.
- Late-night "remind me tomorrow" requests get the exact date read back.
- Fixed an email alert that could text you a stray internal note like "not worth surfacing".
- First replies to brand-new users deliver reliably, and a failed first welcome gets a friendly next-day check-in.
- A garbled or unclear go-ahead gets a clarifying question instead of a send you didn't mean.
- Telling Pally to back off actually switches off nudges everywhere, and dismissing one message won't silence future alerts from that person.
- Fixed a Google connection trap where a missed permission checkbox looked fine and failed later.
- Pally no longer notifies you about its own messages, briefs respect their scheduled time, and you won't get two morning briefs.
- WhatsApp contact syncing survives partial failures without duplicating conversations.
- Free reservation requests can be approved like any other action, and editing one detail of a calendar event no longer touches the rest.
- Cleaner messages: no stray "*" bubbles or garbled dashes, and system notices arrive in your conversation's language.

- You can now connect Fathom, so Pally can look through your meeting recordings and summaries.

- Pally's first message gives you a quick sense of what it can actually do.
- Dashboard connections land you back on your integrations page, and browser-powered website checks run faster.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed a rare crash that could make Pally go silent on a request, especially with shopping links in the reply.
- All-day calendar events save as true all-day entries.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could send two replies to the same message.

## 2026-08-02

- Calendar invites for meetings with someone now actually invite them, instead of quietly creating a solo event.
- Fixed Slack alert automations stuck retrying under rate limits, WhatsApp contact syncing silently stopping, and a must-send update finishing without sending.

- Pally is snappier: shorter answers, tighter lists, a more casual voice that adapts to how you text.
- Pally second-guesses its own honest replies less often; redundant rewrite layers are gone.
- Asking to reply or follow up always gets a ready-to-approve draft, and retrying a connection always mints a fresh link.

- Long browser jobs always run in the background with progress updates.
- Approval prompts and draft labels show up in your language, and email search says exactly where it could and couldn't look.
- Message delivery tracking is sturdier: delivery and failure signals come straight from the provider, so failed sends get caught and retried.

- Saying yes to something Pally proposed counts as a yes.
- Faster first replies for brand-new users, and honest answers about which AI providers power Pally.
- When Pally's card wallet can't cover an approved purchase, you get a secure top-up link in chat, and Pally is upfront that its one-time payment card is US-only for now.
- Proactive suggestions say what they noticed and why, and wait until you've shown you care about a topic yourself.
- If you text a different Pally number, everything follows you there instead of splitting across threads.
- When Pally's primary AI provider hiccups, replies come from a stronger backup model.
- Long-term memory absorbs big bursts of information in stages, so nothing gets squeezed out.

- Fixed repeated near-duplicate to-do suggestions, and a quiet pause in background memory updates for very active users.

## 2026-07-29

### New features
- Pre-meeting briefs are now standard for connected calendars: who's there, your history, open threads, and fresh public news about the people you're meeting.
- People you actually meet with become contacts automatically; email alone never creates a contact.
- Pally now looks for workflows you do by hand and offers to take them over end to end, like archiving cold outreach or auto-forwarding receipts.
- When you connect your Mac, Pally imports up to a year of iMessage history so it understands your contacts from day one (on by default, off in the Mac app menu).
- You can now queue a whole batch of email forwards and approve them with a single thumbs up, and Pally can truly forward emails with the original message and attachments.

- Pally suggests connecting an account when it would clearly help, and is better at working out which chat or contact you mean.
- Online purchases confirm only the exact cart and total shown, and reopened checkouts use fresh secure links.
- Pally has more room per request, so bigger multi-step jobs finish in one pass, and background helpers carry more tools for complete deep-dives.
- Pally sees everyone on an email, so "reply-all" and "invite everyone" work, and it knows Superhuman tags are Gmail labels underneath.
- Long emails get skimmed with a fast first pass, so briefs capture every real ask without wading through newsletters.
- Sign-ins mid-purchase hand you Pally's own secure browser link so you pick up where it left off.
- Pally learns the names of places you visit, so reminders can say "the gym".
- Briefs and long tasks wrap up before hitting their limit, and one "stop bringing that up" silences a topic everywhere.
- Pally has a sharper sense of your open loops, and proactive messages are timed around what you're in the middle of.
- "Just pick for me" gets one committed choice with a quick reason.
- Contacts are quietly enriched from your email, so "email Sarah" just works.
- Group answers arrive as inline threaded replies, unnamed groups show member first names, and group chatter can't change Pally's memory of your own preferences.

- Voice notes on iMessage get properly transcribed, and Pally knows it can understand them.
- "Cancel everything and stop texting me" fully opts you out, including built-in proactive messages.
- When Pally runs low on room mid-task, it hands the rest to a background run instead of going quiet after "I'll pick that up right away".
- Pally finds your Gmail labels itself and no longer asks for a browser session for things Gmail can already do.
- Group chats are more dependable: no surprise late replies to skipped messages, no permanent silence after a temporary hiccup, and tagged questions from people with their own Pally get answered.
- Verified payment confirmations quietly close the matching bill reminder.
- Pally never claims a spreadsheet entry it hasn't written.
- Place reminders fire at the actual place and moment you asked for.
- WhatsApp contact syncing retries through rate limits, and long research tasks deliver their wrap-up instead of erroring at the end.
- Declining WhatsApp truly sticks: no more codes after a no.
- Malformed drafts are caught before you see them, and drafts in your name take their style from your own sent messages, never the other person's.
- Batch email forwards to the same address no longer wrongly flag as duplicates of each other.
- Answered group questions stand down instead of re-answering hours later.
- Phone calls finish gracefully through behind-the-scenes updates, and a secure sign-in can't stay stuck behind another pending approval.

## 2026-07-28

- Pally can now run things on your Mac when you ask, from a quick command to kicking off a coding assistant in a project, granted one folder at a time and revocable anytime. Longer jobs keep running and report back.

### Improvements

- WhatsApp answers work mid-sync with a heads-up that the newest messages may still be arriving.

- Group hellos name the people Pally recognizes instead of listing phone numbers.

### Bug fixes
- Fixed a freeze where a very large email thread could lock up replies for minutes; large threads now process in under a second.
- Email approvals no longer stall, duplicate, or end unclear: duplicate drafts collapse into one, sends are time-bounded, and genuinely unclear outcomes get checked against your sent mail.
- No more "set to go out" claims for messages still waiting on your confirmation, and approval drafts always contain the real link.
- WhatsApp sync promises are kept: post-sync work happens automatically, with a safety net if the completion signal goes missing, and you're told when history finishes syncing.
- An automation blocked on your city or timezone gets picked back up once you provide it.
- Missed group invites can be revived by tagging Pally again, and a late yes still works.
- A clearly seen approval is honored even if you keep chatting, and Pally asks instead of going quiet when it needs to double-check.
- Busy group chats can't lose your question, follow-ups batch into one answer, and old threads still get responses.
- Pally checks which group you mean before posting when it's ambiguous.
- Proactive notes can't arrive with internal drafting notes attached, drafts for you to send yourself come with context, and a tweak requested after a send gets an honest "already sent" plus a follow-up offer.

## 2026-07-27

- Pally sticks to your language, with no stray English or mixed-language replies.
- Pally nags less, and picks up promised work the moment you connect the account it was waiting on.
- Message approvals are stricter: a rejection or edit can't be misread as a yes, a thumbs up only approves its exact draft, and changed minds get re-checked.
- Automations respect their allowed hours, and counts in your briefs are exact.
- Pally only says it did something when it actually did, and sets a real reminder whenever it promises to follow up.
- Calls near their length limit get a warning first, and the follow-up text acknowledges the cutoff.
- Pally knows a sleeping Mac from a disconnected one, so it only suggests reconnecting when needed.
- Your morning brief keeps arriving when a connected account breaks, noting what it couldn't read.
- WhatsApp pairing is smarter about numbers: codes say which number they're for, and a different WhatsApp number can be paired by just saying so.

### Bug fixes
- Delayed group automation setup keeps the exact originating group, and a freshly added Pally introduces itself and answers tags.
- Fixed calendar reads with several connected calendars, and email search for people with many inboxes.
- Fixed duplicate sends, lost track of sent drafts, and endless "good to send?" re-asks.
- Missed messages during a hiccup get one catch-up reply covering everything.

- Fixed wrongly apologizing that a real link was fake, plus stray formatting marks and technical ids leaking into texts.
- WhatsApp setup won't hand you an expired code, and rate-limited connects ping you the moment they can continue.
- Pally can now read web-page-only emails, which most receipts and confirmations are.
- Snoozed reminders actually move, provider usage caps switch to the backup AI instead of dropping your message, and personal check-ins always arrive privately, never in a group.
- A good product recommendation is kept even when a link can't be fully verified, and paused custom briefings are named exactly.

## 2026-07-26

### New features
- A new getting-started experience: connect the couple of platforms you live in first, and Pally studies what's there and comes back with specific things it can start doing, in one thoughtful summary instead of a burst of updates.
- Pally now matches how you like to text: casual if you're casual, formal if you're formal, steerable anytime.

### Bug fixes
- Dismissed to-dos stay dismissed instead of being re-created from the same old emails.

## 2026-07-25

### New features
- When something on your side breaks a connection, Pally sends one friendly note explaining exactly how to fix it.
- One Pally in a group chat now works for everyone there who uses Pally, each through their own account and approvals. General questions stay open to everyone; personal ones go through that person's own Pally.

### Improvements

- Pally no longer insists it lacks access to an iMessage group it already joined.

## 2026-07-24

### New features
- You can now add Pally to your iMessage group chats: it joins after your yes, speaks when mentioned, tracks the group's plans, and checks with you privately before using anything of yours.
- Pally can now complete purchases for you on every plan: cart, checkout, exact total, and it clicks buy only after you confirm.
- Pally can now look things up on social media: tweets, X searches, and Instagram profiles.
- Pally is now a little more of a companion: occasional short, well-timed personal notes, light touch, and it backs off if you're not into it.
- If your first text never gets its welcome, Pally follows up once, and it can now clean up your inbox: archive, label, and mark as read in Gmail and Outlook.

### Improvements
- Pally's deep-thinking mode runs on the newest Claude model, and its backup engine got faster and more reliable.
- Pally tracks whether its texts actually reached your phone, so lost messages get noticed and followed up.
- Memory deletion is precise: exactly what you asked to forget, with a truthful account of what was removed.

- Browser tasks accept http links, and overlapping browser task requests get a clear heads-up.
- Fixed wrongly claiming a confirmed message hadn't sent, and near-duplicate re-sends now check with you first.
- Invalid referral codes say so instead of promising a free month, and long multi-part answers can't get cut off by a new text.
- Fixed a scheduled check-in texting a stray internal note like "no message needed here".

## 2026-07-23

### New features
- Pally now notices when you're drifting from people who matter and suggests reconnecting once a week, with what's new in their world and a ready-to-send draft. Only saved contacts, and "stop suggesting them" sticks.
- Stay-in-touch rhythms: pick a cadence per person, snooze anyone, and ask "who am I losing touch with?" anytime.
- Pally can now post on X for you: publish, reply, like, repost, or delete, always with approval. Connecting X gets you a first rundown and two optional weekly digests.

- Getting started is less repetitive, and the referral page friends see has one clear claim button.

- Pally now notices trips from your shared location alone: schedules shift to local time, with a friendly heads-up and, once per trip, people you know there.

### Improvements
- Message and email watchers are sharper about what deserves a heads-up: cancellations, direct questions, and plan changes break through while junk gets skipped.
- Custom automations run more efficiently by default, and background email lookups are faster.
- A friendlier welcome in short messages, warmer referral thank-yous, and a morning brief anchored to the city you woke up in.

- Other people's shared calendars stay out of your own plans unless you ask.
- Tapback reactions actually land on the message you meant.
- Fixed a serious bug where correcting a queued email and approving could send the uncorrected version; what you approved is verified against what's queued.
- Scheduled reminders only arrive at their scheduled time, never early with made-up details.

## 2026-07-21

### New features
- You can now link your bank, credit card, and business accounts through a secure flow, then ask about balances, transactions, and spending, with personal and business kept separate.

- Disconnecting or deleting data takes one confirmation in plain language, with honesty about what's still remembered.
- Better call diagnostics when a number can't connect, and better location guidance when a request genuinely needs it.
