Q4 2026

Updates - October 15, 2026

1. SelfManager.ai v7 is live. Codename: AI or SI, Baby?

   v7 gathers everything since September into one release: the AI model menu, with Gemini, Claude, GPT and Grok in Fast and Thinking; Audio, Docs and now Video on every table, each with its own page under All; the AI reading your docs and audio transcripts; an export for everything you keep here; and deleting your account yourself. Our MCP server is available now (the MCP page shows how to connect), and the public API is coming soon. The whole story is in Introducing SelfManager.ai v7, and the summer's v6 has its own: SelfManager.ai v6: AI Everywhere and Customization.

2. Video on every table.

   Every table now has a Video section. Add videos from your computer or your phone's library, where the picker also offers the camera, and watch them in the app: a poster frame, play, seek and full screen, one video at a time. Download the original whenever you want it. A video can be up to 2 GB: MP4, MOV and M4V with H.264, HEVC or AV1 video, and WebM with VP8, VP9 or AV1. Each one is checked on our servers from the file itself.

   On shared tables, and on your plan.

   Everyone on a table can watch and download its videos, and the owner, admins and members can add them. Adding a video needs a paid plan or a lifetime deal on the table owner's account, not the free trial; watching, downloading and deleting don't. Videos share the docs allowance, 5 GB on Individual and 25 GB on Team, counted on the table's owner.

   All › Videos.

   Every video on your tables and on tables shared with you, as a grid of posters with each one's length, ready to play.

3. Export everything you keep here.

   Download my docs and Download my videos join the exports in your profile, next to your data as JSON, your images and your recordings. Each takes the docs or videos on tables you own, plus the ones you added to tables shared with you, in several ZIP parts for large collections. Like every export, they're deleted after 3 days, and you can make a new one whenever you want.

4. Delete your account yourself.

   Delete account, at the bottom of your profile, deletes your account 30 days after you ask, without writing to anyone. Until then you can change your mind by signing in, and we email you ten days before. A paid plan stops renewing straight away. When the 30 days are up, the tables you own are deleted, shared ones too, and what you wrote on other people's tables stays with them, shown as "Deleted user". For your security, it needs a sign-in from the last ten minutes.

Updates - October 14, 2026

1. See your storage, and add more when you need it.

   A meter now shows how much of your docs allowance you use, such as "1.2 GB of 5 GB used", in each table's Docs section, at the top of All › Docs and on your Subscription page. Need more? Extra space starts at $2 a month for 10 GB and goes up to 1 TB, monthly or yearly at 10% off. You buy it and change its size on the Subscription page: a bigger size starts straight away, and a smaller one when the period you paid for ends.

2. Take an AI conversation with you.

   Every AI conversation has an export menu: Download PDF, Download Markdown or Copy all. It's on a table's chat and summary, your pinned tables' chat and summary, AI Review, under AI Plan's brief, and in any saved conversation. Tables in an answer now stay tables, on screen, in the PDF and in the Markdown.

3. Gemini 4 Argon in Thinking.

   Google's new frontier model, generally available since October 13, is now in the Thinking menu next to Gemini 3.8 Flash, Claude, GPT and Grok, on paid plans and lifetime deals. It starts at 15 credits a message, as Claude Opus 5.5 does, and you see its range before you send. If it's busy or doesn't answer, Gemini 3.8 Flash answers instead and you pay its price.

4. Your AI assistant can read all your comments and notes.

   Through our MCP server, your assistant can now list every comment you can see and every table's notes, newest first, on your tables and on tables shared with you, as All › Comments and All › Notes show them, with who wrote each comment, by name. It's free. The MCP page has the details.

Updates - October 13, 2026

1. More your AI assistant can do.

   Through our MCP server, your assistant can now rewrite a day's journal line, asking you first. The line it replaces is kept: Previous versions on that day's Self message brings it back. In a table you share, a comment it writes can @mention people on the table, who get the same notice as from you, marked with the assistant's name. It can make a repeating table, and with the delete box delete one, keeping the tables it already made. It can list the tables shared with you and the ones you share, with who is on each, and read your AI credits and what used them. Time tracking is back in a table's settings. The MCP page has the details.

2. Docs on every table.

   Every table now has a Docs section, after Audio. Add PDFs and Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, text, Markdown and CSV files of up to 50 MB each, see who added each one and when, and download them. On a shared table everyone can download, and the owner, admins and members can add and delete docs. All › Docs lists every doc on your tables and on tables shared with you. Each file is checked on our servers from its contents, not its name, and Office files with macros are refused. Docs count toward the table owner's plan: 5 GB on Individual and 25 GB on Team.

   The AI reads them.

   Tick Docs in the AI menu, on a table, the pinned bar, AI Review or AI Plan, and the AI reads the docs on those tables. Claude, GPT and Gemini get each PDF as the file itself, scans included, and Word and PowerPoint docs made into PDFs, so they see them as they look; Grok gets their text. Before anything is sent, the confirm says how many docs go, their pages and what it costs.

   So can your AI assistant, if you allow it.

   Through our MCP server, an assistant connected with Also read your docs ticked can list your docs and read their text, never the file itself, and docs go with a table it copies, moves or deletes. With the delete box ticked too, it can delete one doc. Reading docs is free. The MCP page has the details.

Updates - October 12, 2026

1. Your AI assistant now works inside SelfManager.

   Our MCP server connects SelfManager to the AI assistant you already use. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard assistants use to work with other apps, so any app that supports it connects with one address: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, LM Studio and more. You ask in your own words, and it works on your real tables, as you.

   What you can ask.

   • "What's on my list today?"
   • "Create a table for tomorrow called Launch prep with: write changelog, record demo, email customers."
   • "Plan my next 3 months of workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday."
   • "How many tasks did I finish each week this quarter?"
   • "Move my Gym routine to Mondays and Thursdays, and add stretch to it."
   • "Review my week and save it to my AI History."

   In Claude, the + menu also offers ready-made prompts: What's on today, Plan my week, Weekly review and Turn this into a routine.

   What it reads.

   Any day or range of days, with each table's tasks, their progress and priority, notes and comments; totals over any range; deadlines, pinned tables and repeating tables; your AI History; and the tables people share with you. It can search all of them. Your journal, the daily Self message, when the assistant asks for it. With your permission, also your images, your voice recordings' transcripts and your docs' text.

   What it does.

   It creates a table with up to 200 tasks, or up to 1,000 tables in one request, so a month of daily tables takes one go. It adds tasks, comments and notes; edits tasks, marks them done and records how long they took; sets and removes deadlines; pins tables; copies a table, or moves one to another day; renames a table or changes its settings; changes a routine as the Repeats page does; adds to your journal; and saves a review or a chat to your AI History.

   You choose what it may do.

   When you connect, you choose its permissions. Reading is always on, and making changes is ticked unless you untick it. Seeing images and recordings, reading docs, writing in tables other people can see, and deleting each have their own box, off unless you tick it. Deleting goes one thing at a time, in tables only you can see, and a whole table only after the assistant has shown you what is in it. Moving or deleting a table, recording a task's time and changing a deadline are flagged for your assistant to ask you first. It can never delete many things at once, share a table, or change who can see what.

   You see everything it did.

   Each change it makes to a table adds a line to that table's log, if the table keeps one, ending in the app's name, such as "(via Claude)"; and a comment it writes shows "via Claude" next to your name, so the people you share with know. The Assistant activity page lists what each app changed in the last 30 days, SelfManager tells you whenever a new app connects, and My Profile › Connected apps disconnects one within about a minute.

   What it costs.

   It uses the AI credits you already have, at one price for every app. Reading a day, a table or a list, ticking or editing tasks, deadlines, pins, a task's time and table settings are free. Reading several days or totals, searching, seeing an image, copying or moving a table and adding anything new use 1 AI credit a request. Adding a lot at once costs 1 credit for every 25 tasks, a new table's first 25 included, and 1 for every 10 tables made together, so 30 daily tables of up to 25 tasks each are 3 credits. With no credits left, a request that costs one does nothing and says so, and every charged request shows on your AI Usage page with the app's name.

   The MCP page shows how to connect and lists every tool.

Updates - October 2, 2026

1. Dictation takes 30 minutes too.

   Dictating into a comment, a note, an AI box or a row name now runs up to 30 minutes, like a table's Audio section, up from ten. Transcribing costs 1 AI credit per started five minutes, so the full thirty is 6. The words appear as they are written, so a long take is visibly on its way.

   How a dictation reaches the AI.

   Your recording is still saved on your device before anything is sent. To be transcribed it is now uploaded to our storage, and deleted as soon as its words are in. If transcription fails it is kept for up to three tries, so trying again doesn't upload it again, and one nobody comes back to is removed automatically within four days. In comments and notes the recording stays with your table only if you press Keep, as before. The privacy policy has the details.

Updates - October 1, 2026

1. Choose the AI that answers.

   Next to Fast and Thinking there is now a model menu. Gemini stays the default in both, and beside it you can pick models from other companies. In Fast: Claude Haiku 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, and GPT-6 Luna and Sol. In Thinking: Claude Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1, Grok 4.7, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra. Each mode remembers the model you picked last. The free trial runs Gemini, Claude Haiku 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna; every other model is on paid plans.

   Every answer says who wrote it and what it cost.

   The line under each answer names the model and the credits it used. If the model you picked is busy, can't take that much data, or declines, Gemini answers instead, the line says why, and you pay Gemini's price.

   Your data.

   A request to Claude, Grok or GPT goes straight to that company, which doesn't train its models on it. How long each keeps it is in the privacy policy, and Fable's row tells you Anthropic keeps its requests for 30 days.

2. Prices show a range, and you pay for what the AI uses.

   Each model in the menu now shows a range of credits per message, such as "8–55" for Claude Sonnet 5.5 in Thinking. The first number is where it starts, as before; the second is what a very long answer can cost. Both are estimates: you're charged for what the AI actually reads and writes. With Claude, GPT and Grok in Thinking, an answer cut short after it has started (by Stop, by closing the page, or by a lost connection) is charged the most it could cost, because their thinking cannot be counted once it is cut. A plan or table starts only when your credits cover the most it could cost, and one cut short is charged at most its starting price. Your first message with each model asks once, and requests carrying a lot of data still ask you first. In a chat, if your balance is lower, the answer can only be as long as your credits cover, and the line under it says so if it stops there.

3. A recording is never lost.

   When you dictate into a comment, a note, a table's Audio section or an AI box, the recording is saved on your device before anything is sent. If the connection drops or transcription fails, it waits there and you can try again, with nothing to re-record. Words now appear as you speak. In comments and notes, audio reaches our servers only when you press Keep. In AI boxes it is deleted from your device once its words are in, or after 14 days, and is never stored on our servers.

4. The Audio section takes 30 minutes.

   A table's Audio section now takes recordings and uploaded files of up to 30 minutes each, up from ten, and up to 150 MB. Transcribing one costs 1 AI credit per started five minutes, so the full thirty is 6. Dictation into comments, notes and AI boxes stays at ten minutes.

Q3 2026

Updates - September 20, 2026

1. Audio, a section of its own on every table.

   Every table now has an Audio section, sitting between Images and Notes. It gathers every recording already attached to that table - the ones you dictated into a comment, the ones from its notes - and it accepts audio that belongs to the table itself. It starts closed and stays the way you leave it, and nothing loads until you open it.

   Record into the table, or upload audio you already have.

   Record straight into the section, or pick a file - up to ten minutes and 50 MB each. A voice memo from your phone, a recorded call, a rehearsal take: it sits on the day it belongs to instead of in a separate app. Whatever your recorder produced is accepted, including the recordings phones label as video files, and everything is converted so it plays in any browser.

2. Transcription is now something you ask for.

   Keeping audio costs nothing. When you actually want the words, press Transcribe on that item and the price is shown before it runs - 1 AI credit up to five minutes, 2 above - and the text stays with the recording. Dictating into a comment or a note works exactly as before.

3. Every item says where it came from.

   Each row carries its origin - Comment, Notes, or the Audio section - with its length, the date, a player with speed control and download, and its transcript underneath when it has one. There is one copy of each recording, so deleting it here removes it from the comment or note it came from and from All Recordings too; the confirmation says so before you do it.

4. It travels with the table.

   Duplicate a table and Duplicate audio is its own tick, beside images, comments and notes - comment audio still travels with Comments, note audio with Notes. Transfer a table to another date and its audio follows. Delete the table and it goes with it. On a shared table, contributors add their own and the owner can remove any of it. Your data export includes the files under names you can read, with an index listing titles, original filenames and transcripts.

5. All Recordings tells them apart.

   Rows are labelled Recording, Audio upload, Voice note or Read aloud, and anything you have not transcribed says so, with a Transcribe button right on the row.

Updates - September 17, 2026

1. AI Plan, rebuilt as three steps.

   The page now asks three things, in order: the Period you are planning, the Context the AI should read, and your Brief. Period and Context fold back to a single line once they are set, so the whole setup stays in front of you instead of scrolling away. Pick a week, a month or a range of your own, step through them with the arrows, and see the days you are about to plan before anything is spent.

   Chat until the plan sounds right, then generate.

   The brief is a conversation, with starters for the things people plan most - a side project, workouts, daily habits. The footer says what is about to happen in one sentence: the period it covers, that it comes from your brief, and what it will read from your past work and from the days being planned. The price is shown before it runs.

   The plan comes back as a week you can walk through.

   The tables it wrote sit under a week-by-week strip of days. Each day says whether it is approved, skipped, or has no table, and clicking one brings its table up; scroll the tables and the strip follows. Every table is still yours to edit, move to another day, or skip, and the save button names exactly what it will save, down to the number of tables. Generating again asks first - and the plan you have already edited stays on screen until its replacement is approved.

2. Images in comments.

   A comment can now carry pictures - the screenshot of the bug, a photo of the whiteboard, the receipt you are asking about. Attach up to ten when you write the comment, with the image button or by pasting straight into the box. They upload exactly as you took them - nothing is shrunk or re-encoded - and each one sits under its comment as a thumbnail that opens the full picture.

   They go where the comment goes.

   Delete a comment and its images go with it. Duplicate a table with its comments, or transfer it to another day, and the images follow their comments to the new table. On a shared table, only the person who attached an image, the table's owner and its admins can delete it.

3. AI can look at your images, when you ask it to.

   Everywhere you send your tables to the AI - AI Review, the Summarize and Chat buttons on a table or on your pinned tables, and AI Plan's Context step - there are now two boxes: Comments and Images. Tick Images and the AI sees the pictures on those tables, not just the words around them, so you can ask what is in a screenshot or have a photographed page summarised with everything else. Images attached to comments come along when both boxes are ticked.

   Off until you tick it, and priced before it runs.

   Images take more to read than text, so they are only sent when you ask for them, and before anything is sent you are shown how many will go and what the request costs in credits. Every image on those tables goes. The only limits are the AI model's own: a file over 30 MB is left out, and one request can only hold so much - around 800 images beside a short request, fewer beside a long one - so past that, the newest go.

4. Quick Capture, for when you only need to write something down.

   Add Table has a Quick Capture button next to Use AI. It puts the task rows, images, settings and repeat options out of the way and leaves a name, a description and your notes - the quickest way to get an idea in before it is gone. Add it, and fill in the rest from the table whenever you are ready. Press the button again for the full sheet; anything you had already set up there is still waiting.

5. 200 images per table.

   The limit has doubled, from 100 to 200. Images attached to comments do not count towards it.

6. You find out a feature needs a plan before you try it.

   If you have not started your 7-day free trial yet, or your subscription has lapsed, AI Plan, AI Review, AI History and the Summarize and Chat buttons now say so up front, with a button that takes you to sort it out - instead of letting you write a whole request first. If you use AI on a Team owner's credits, you will not see it.

Updates - September 6, 2026

1. Tables that repeat, without you rebuilding them.

   Some tables come back. A morning routine, a Friday review, invoices on the first of the month. Until now you either rebuilt them by hand or duplicated last week's and edited out the parts that had moved on. Any table can now repeat: open Add Table or edit a table you already have, and set Repeat - every day, weekdays, weekends, days you choose, every few days, or a date each month. Before you save it, a strip of the next fortnight shows the days it will actually land on, so a repeat is something you can check rather than something you hope you set up correctly.

   The table you set it on stays an ordinary table.

   Setting a repeat creates a blueprint - a copy of that table with no date of its own. Every day the schedule lands on gets its own copy of the blueprint, made the first time you open that day. The table you started from keeps its own day and its own contents, exactly as it was. There is no special "master" table sitting on some date, because a master table on a date raises questions nobody should have to answer: what happens when you delete it, does its own day count, is editing it different from editing any other copy.

   Nothing is ever added to a day that has already passed.

   A repeat only ever fills in today and the days ahead. Switching one on this morning does not go back and rewrite what you did in March - which is what lets an AI Review of last month give the same answer however many times you ask for it.

   Editing a copy changes that day. Editing the blueprint changes what comes next.

   A copy is just a table: tick things off, add a task, rename one, and only that day changes. When you want to change what every future copy starts with, you edit the blueprint - and because a blueprint is a real table, it opens in the ordinary table editor, with the same rows, priorities, drag-to-reorder and notes as anywhere else. Copies already made keep what they have; if some of them are still untouched, the editor offers to bring those in line and tells you how many it left alone because you had already worked in them.

   Tasks and notes carry forward. Images and comments stay where they are.

   Notes are instructions - "check the staging build first" - and that is exactly the kind of thing worth repeating. An image is evidence from a particular day, and a comment is part of a conversation that happened on one; copying either forward would put things on tomorrow that never happened there. So the blueprint carries the name, the tasks and the notes, and says so plainly when you open it.

   Everything in one place, with a way to stop it.

   All › Repeats lists every repeat you have, what it does in plain words, and the next day it lands on. Pause one, delete one, or edit its schedule from there. Deleting a repeat keeps every table it already made, including anything you have added to them. And there is a single switch for the whole account: turn it off and your repeats are kept, but nothing new is created until you turn it back on.

   Deleting one day's copy sticks, too - it does not reappear the next time you open that date.

Updates - September 3, 2026

1. Pick the table you land on.

   Opening the app has always put you on today. That is the right answer for a daily to-do list and the wrong one if the table you actually live in is a set of goals for the year, a project plan, or a habit tracker you started in January - every visit began with a day you did not want, and you navigated back to the same table by hand. Any table can now be your homepage. Open a table's settings, tick Set as homepage, and from then on the app opens straight to it. The checkbox is on the new-table screen too, for the ones you know are keepers the moment you create them.

   It is your setting, not the table's.

   On a table shared with other people, each person chooses their own homepage - yours does not become theirs. It also asks nothing of your access: a viewer on someone else's table can set it as their homepage without any say over the table itself.

   The logo means the same thing everywhere, and today keeps its own button.

   The logo goes where the front door goes, so with a homepage table set it opens that table rather than today. Today does not lose out: a Today button appears in the date switcher - in the sidebar on desktop, on the greeting card on your phone - and it only shows up when you have a homepage table set and are not already on today. Nothing changes for anyone who never sets one.

   You are told why you are there.

   Every time the app opens your homepage table it says so, and names the table. An app that quietly opens on a date in January looks broken; one that tells you it opened your homepage table, and where the way back to today is, does not.

   It keeps up with the table, too. Transfer that table to another day and your homepage follows it there. Delete it and the setting clears itself rather than leaving you pointed at something that no longer exists.

Updates - August 8, 2026

1. Four roles, so sharing a table is no longer all-or-nothing.

   Until now, sharing a table handed over everything. Whoever you invited could edit every row, change the table's settings, clear its activity log and invite other people - the same reach you have as the owner. That is fine for a co-founder and far too much for a client you want to keep in the loop. There are now four roles: Owner, Admin, Member and Viewer, and you pick one when you send the invitation.

   What each one can do.

   1. Owner. The person whose table it is. Everything an admin can do, plus what only an owner should have: duplicating the table, deleting it, and deciding who its admins are.
   2. Admin. Everything a member can do, plus running the table - its settings, its activity log, and inviting or removing people.
   3. Member. Works on the table: rows, comments, files, notes, and AI on that table.
   4. Viewer. Reads. All of it - every row, every comment, the whole history - and changes none of it.

   You can change someone's role without starting over.

   Open the sharing panel and each person's role is a dropdown next to their name. Pick a new one, confirm, done - no removing and re-inviting to correct a choice you made weeks ago. Admins can adjust members and viewers; only the owner changes an admin. That last line is deliberate: if an admin could demote another admin, they could then remove them as a viewer, and "only the owner manages admins" would be a speed bump rather than a rule.

   Invitations now say what they are actually offering.

   The email and the invitation page both name the role and describe it in a sentence, before you accept rather than after. Previously you found out you were a Viewer the first time something refused you.

   A note on AI credits, if you are on Team.

   Your plan's AI credits are shared with the people you invite, which was previously decided purely by whether someone had access to any of your tables. It now follows the role: Admins and Members can spend from your pool, Viewers cannot. Read-only access should not be able to spend your money.

Updates - August 2, 2026

1. Your hero photo, cropped where you want it.

   The top hero image used to be locked to dead centre, which is fine for a landscape and wrong for almost everything else - faces ended up cut off, the subject sat out of frame. There is now a crosshair in the hero controls: press it, drag the ring onto the part of the photo that actually matters, and the crop follows your finger. It saves to your account, so it survives a reload and applies wherever that hero appears.

   It re-crops itself when the hero changes size.

   The focal point is stored as a position in the photo rather than a fixed offset, so dragging the hero taller or shorter re-resolves the crop on its own - nothing to set twice. It is on the phone too, where the hero is much shorter and crops hardest, which is exactly where picking the right part matters most.

   Parallax is now yours to switch off.

   The hero background drifts a little as you scroll. That is now a switch in the same panel, on by default. If your focal point sits near the bottom of the photo the switch tells you it has no effect - there is nothing below the bottom edge left to reveal - and it says the same for a photo too wide to have any vertical room to move, instead of offering you a control that quietly does nothing.

   While you are choosing, the rest gets out of the way.

   The navigation pill and your self message fade out so you can judge the photo on its own, and the hero holds its exact height so you are never aiming at a box you do not get back. Cancel restores what you had before you opened it; Done keeps what you set.

   One thing you may notice even if you never touch this: the hero background never actually rested where it claimed to. It sat about a third of the way further down the photo than "centre" implied, which nothing pointed out because nothing had promised otherwise. Heroes left on the default now rest genuinely centred.

Updates - August 1, 2026

1. Now the AI reads back to you.

   Every AI response has a speaker icon next to the copy button - your AI Review, your AI Plan, table chat, pinned-tables chat, and saved conversations. Press it and the response is read out loud, so a long review can happen while you are walking, driving, or doing the washing up instead of sitting and reading it.

   A real player, not a play button.

   Playback speed up to 2x, jump 15 seconds back or forward, scrub anywhere on the bar, and download the audio. Every one of those also landed on your existing voice-note players, so comments, notes and the All Recordings page got them at the same time.

   Keep the ones worth keeping.

   Read-aloud audio is not stored by default - it is generated, played, and forgotten. When a take is worth keeping there is a save button in the player, and saving costs nothing extra because the audio already exists. Saved audio joins the All Recordings page with a "Read aloud" badge so it is never confused with your own voice, and it is included in "Download my recordings" with the text it was read from alongside it.

   And it comes back with the response.

   Once a take is saved it belongs to that AI response, not just to your recordings list. Reopen the AI Review, the plan or the saved conversation a week later and the player is already there, ready to play, for free - you never pay twice for audio you have already kept.

   What it costs, before you spend it.

   Read aloud is 1 AI credit per 2 minutes of audio, and the button tells you the price before you press it. Anything long enough to matter asks for confirmation first, and replaying audio you already generated is free. Voice-to-text is now 1 credit up to 5 minutes and 2 above it, rather than a flat charge regardless of length. Both are written out in a new pricing section on your Subscription page.

   So SelfManager.ai can now listen to you and talk back. And unlike ChatGPT, ours works.

2. Didn't like that answer? Ask again.

   Every AI response now has a regenerate button next to copy and read aloud - your AI Review, AI Plan, table summaries, every chat and follow-up, and saved conversations in AI History. It re-runs the same request and replaces the answer with a fresh one.

   It asks first, and tells you what it costs.

   Regenerating starts at the same price as the original, so the confirmation says how many credits before anything happens. If you had generated read-aloud audio for that response, it also warns you the audio will be discarded and reminds you that you can save it first - and it stays quiet when the audio is already saved, because then there is nothing to lose.

   And when something fails, you can see it.

   A failed AI Review used to show a toast that faded and left an empty panel. Now the failure stays on screen with a "Try again" button right there. Errors also no longer offer to be read aloud, which was a way to spend a credit hearing an apology.

   One fix that came out of this: while the AI was still writing, the response card briefly showed its action buttons over an empty box. It now waits until there is something to act on.

3. Team plan: what did my team work on?

   AI Review now has a scope switch for Team accounts: Mine, Shared + mine, or My team. "My team" narrows the review to the tables you own and shared with your members, so a weekly "what did the team do" is one click on any period - week, month, quarter or a custom range.

   Written for the group, not for you.

   A team review is written in the third person rather than addressing you about work you may not have done. It is organised by table and by theme - deliberately not a per-person breakdown, a ranking, or a count of tasks per head. This is a status digest your team could read together, not a performance review.

   Tasks now remember who finished them.

   Completing a task records who completed it, and adding one records who added it. On a shared table that is the difference between "this got done" and knowing who to ask about it. Comments already carried their author, so a team review can name who raised a blocker as well as what moved. Tasks completed before this update have no name attached and the AI is told never to guess one.

   Your choice of scope is remembered, so if you review the team every Monday it stays selected. And "Period Summary" is now called AI Review everywhere - same feature, the name it should always have had.

Updates - July 31, 2026

1. Take any recording with you.

   Every stored recording now has a download button next to its player - under the comment, under the note, and on the All Recordings page. One click saves that single audio file to your device, named by its date and the opening words of its transcript so you can still tell what it is months later.

   Or take all of them at once.

   "Download my recordings" now sits with the other exports at the bottom of your profile. It bundles your voice recordings as playable audio with a transcript index - every recording on tables you own, plus your own recordings on tables shared with you. It is its own bundle rather than being folded into the images ZIP, so audio and images stay separate.

   Like every export, it is deleted after 3 days - generate a new one whenever you want.

Updates - July 29, 2026

1. Say it instead of typing it.

   The fastest thought is the one you never have to type. There is now a microphone everywhere you would normally write: table comments, table notes, and every AI prompt box - AI Plan, AI Review, table chat, pinned-tables chat, task generation. Tap it, talk, and AI puts the text in the box on its own line, ready to edit.

   Your voice, only if you want it kept.

   After a comment or a note is transcribed, SelfManager asks whether to keep the audio. Keep it and you get a player right there under the comment. Delete it and only the transcript remains. In AI prompt boxes no recording is kept - the audio stays only on your device until its words are in the box (or for 14 days, if they never get there), never on our servers - because a prompt is something you send, not something you keep.

   All Recordings.

   Every recording you chose to keep, newest first, each with its transcript and a link straight back to the table it came from. Recordings are converted after upload so they play in any browser, and you can delete any of them at any time without touching the text they produced.

   Recordings run up to ten minutes, with the time remaining always on screen, and cost one AI credit per transcription. That makes twelve AI features in total.

Updates - July 27, 2026

1. Everything you have written, in one place.

   Your comments, your notes and your Self Messages have always lived inside the day they were written. That is the right place for them while you are working, but it makes them almost impossible to look back on. Three new pages fix that.

   All Comments.

   Every comment you have written, newest first, across every table and every date. Comments render exactly as they do inside a table - YouTube videos play inline, links stay links, mentions stay mentions - so you are reading the real thing, not a stripped-down preview. Each one shows which table it came from, and opens that table in place so you never lose your spot in the timeline.

   All Notes.

   Every note you have written on a table, ordered by the table's own date so the timeline reads like your calendar rather than your edit history. Notes keep their formatting, long ones stay collapsed until you open them, and the table each note belongs to is one click away.

   All Self Messages.

   The messages you leave yourself, day by day, grouped by month and going back as far as you have been writing them. Jump to any day from the entry.

   All three live under the new All menu in the top navigation, which now also holds Dates and Images - every "show me everything across all my tables" page in one place. On mobile the same group sits in the menu and opens where you already are.

Q2 2026

Updates - June 30, 2026

1. The first features built on the v5 booster are here.

   v5 was the booster - almost invisible, but the thing that gets everything off the ground. This is what it was for. Over the last two months we shipped the first wave of features it makes possible: real table sharing, full data export, and AI you can account for.

   Share tables with anyone, on their terms.

   Table sharing is now a proper invitation system instead of instant, silent access. Invite people by email or phone, and they get a link that works whether they are signed in or not. They accept, decline, or leave - nothing lands in their account without consent.

   • Invitations, not surprises. Invite by email or phone with an accept/decline link that works even for people who are not signed in.
   • Both sides of the share. A Received Access page for tables shared with you, and a Granted Access page where owners see the full history - pending, accepted, left, or removed.
   • Live and instant. A badge shows pending invitations the moment they arrive, and accepted tables appear right away with no reload.
   • Clean exits. Delete a shared table and everyone who had access is notified and cleanly removed, with the sharing history kept intact.

   Download your data. All of it.

   You can now export your entire account from your profile. Take a JSON file of your tables, rows, comments, and notes, or a full ZIP that includes every image, split into parts for large accounts. It is your work - keep a copy, move it, or archive it whenever you want.

   See exactly what your AI credits do.

   The new AI Usage page lists every AI action you have taken - task generation, table chat, AI Plan, AI Review - so you can see what used credits and when. Team owners can switch between their own usage and the whole team's, to keep an eye on shared budget.

   AI Reviews now see the shared picture.

   When you generate a period summary for a week, month, or quarter, AI Reviews now include the tables others have shared with you, not just your own. For teams, that means reviews reflect the full scope of collaborative work.

   Your messages to the AI now keep their line breaks, so multi-line instructions read the way you wrote them instead of collapsing into one block.

   The booster did its job. This is what it was carrying.

Updates - May 3, 2026

1. SelfManager.ai v5 is live. Codename: BFR Booster.

   Our previous major release, v4, was the visible one - full redesign, UI and UX improvements, AI Plan, deeper personalization. You could see the upgrade the second you opened the app.

   v5 is the opposite. Almost nothing visual changes. We migrated the entire backend off our previous foundation and onto an enterprise database. Every piece of data was re-modelled and moved over - tables, tasks, comments, notes, AI artifacts, the sharing model. The most important release we have ever shipped, and you can barely see it.

   The codename BFR Booster fits. A booster does not look like much from the outside, but it is what gets the rocket off the ground. v5 is the booster for everything coming next.

   What you get:

   • Enterprise scaling. Built to handle whatever growth comes next - the sky is the limit.
   • Multi-region performance. Same speed from Europe, the US, Asia, South America.
   • Offline-friendly. The app loads from local cache before the network answers. No internet? Your changes are written locally and sync to the cloud the moment you are back online.
   • Pages that load fast and stay fast. Whether you have 50 tables or 5000, opening a week or month view feels the same.
   • A platform that lets us ship complex, data-heavy features without friction.
   • Source code rebuilt on the latest Google technologies. Google has been our platform since 2016, when the first line of SelfManager.ai was written - using the best available tech has been a founding principle from day one.
   • The bedrock for what is coming next.

   What we get: features that took two weeks now take a few days. We need that speed - tech and AI are moving at rocket speed pace, and v5 is our booster.

   Migrations are not glamorous. No screenshots, no flashy demo. But v4 made the app feel new, and BFR Booster makes it possible to keep making it better and serve more people at a higher standard.

   Just watch what comes next.

Updates - April 23, 2026

1. Customization layer on top of v4. The first batch of personalization features built on the redesigned base:

   • Collapsible sidebar - ⌘B (or Ctrl+B on Windows) or click the chevron at the bottom-right of the sidebar to slide it off-screen. A floating restore arrow pins to the left edge of the viewport. Preference syncs across devices.
   • Drag-to-resize on desktop - Grab the bottom edge of the hero or the right edge of the sidebar and drag. Hero: 160-1000px. Sidebar: 236-800px. Sizes persist per account.
   • "Custom" hero size - After a drag, the hero size picker gains a Custom row showing the current pixel value. Clicking Small / Medium / Large clears the override and snaps back to the preset.
   • Per-theme overlay tint - Sidebar and hero each have their own color + opacity, edited independently for dark and light mode. Six presets plus a native color picker. Collapsed by default inside the profile modal.
   • Split hero size per platform - Desktop and mobile now store the hero size separately. You can run "Tall" on desktop and "Compact" on mobile without them fighting each other.
   • Themed nav pill over hero images - The top navigation pill now switches to a frosted-white variant in light mode when a hero image is set, instead of staying dark-glass. Dark mode keeps its original smoky glass.

Updates - April 22, 2026

1. Version 4 - the biggest design update since launch. A ground-up redesign of the entire logged-in experience - desktop, mobile, light mode, dark mode, every modal, every dialog.

   Mobile feels native. A proper gesture layer replaces the old responsive layout:

   • Swipe right on a task -> open settings
   • Swipe left -> delete (with confirm)
   • Double-tap -> toggle complete
   • Long-press text -> select it and use the highlight marker to color-code words

   Tracks your finger 1:1, with a haptic pulse at the commit point. Gets out of the way when you're scrolling or selecting text.

   Notes are actual notes. The plain textarea is gone. The new editor supports bold, italic, headings, bullet and numbered lists, links, and inline code. Paste from Word or Google Docs and formatting gets cleaned automatically. Auto-save toggle syncs across devices. Version history is two clicks away.

   The editor only loads when you open a note, so it never slows the rest of the app down.

   Light mode everywhere. Light mode previously stopped at the homepage. Every authenticated surface now respects the theme - modals, dialogs, settings, subscription, AI views.

   What changes for existing users. Nothing. Log in and everything feels tighter. All data, tables, notes, and subscriptions are unchanged.

   9 years. 4,000+ commits. The version SelfManager always wanted to be.

Updates - April 17, 2026

1. Dark Mode: Dark mode is now fully available across all components on the homepage. Every section - tables, comments, notes, images, AI chat, and all supporting UI elements - now renders consistently in dark mode.

Updates - April 11, 2026

1. Empty Day Content Component: When you open a day with no tables, instead of a blank page you now see an educational, inspirational, and motivational section featuring:

   • Random Productivity Quote - A curated collection of 100 quotes from thinkers like Steve Jobs, Bruce Lee, Benjamin Franklin, and more. Refreshable with one click.
   • Feature Showcase Carousel - Swipeable cards highlighting 15 things you can do with Self Manager, including AI chat, time tracking, screenshots, weekly reviews, and more.
   • "How it works" Video Link - Opens a lightbox with the Self Manager walkthrough video.
   • Quick Action Buttons - Jump straight to creating a table, viewing pinned tables, or getting an AI summary.

   Works in both dark and light mode. The goal is to make empty days feel like a launchpad, not a dead end.

Updates - April 9, 2026

1. Deadlines: Tasks now support due dates and times. A dedicated Deadlines page was added where you can see all your upcoming deadlines across all tables in one place, making it easy to stay on top of what's due.

2. Notifications - In-App, Push & Email: A full notification system was introduced with three channels:

   • In-App Notifications - A notification panel in the top navigation bar shows your latest notifications in real time.
   • Push Notifications - Receive browser push notifications so you never miss an update, even when you're on another tab.
   • Email Notifications - Get notified by email for important events like mentions and deadline reminders.

3. Mention People in Comments: You can now mention collaborators in table comments using @. The mentioned person receives an in-app notification, a push notification, and an email, so they are always in the loop.

Q1 2026

Updates - March 17, 2026

1. 4 Additional Login Providers: We added four new ways to sign in:

   • Magic Link - Enter your email and receive a login link. Works even if you don't already have an account.
   • Phone Number - Enter your phone, receive an SMS code, enter it and you're in!
   • Email + Password - The traditional way was added too.
   • Facebook - Sign in with your Facebook account.

   The goal is to offer many options for different preferences.

2. Link All Providers to One Account: If you sign in with any option, you can link all the other providers to your account! So if you're on mobile and created an account with your Phone number, you can link your Google account to it and log in to the same account with Google from desktop.

3. Pricing Update: We slightly increased our prices to invest more in marketing and growth. Existing customers keep their current price. Read the full explanation here.

4. Custom Range for AI Review: You can now select a custom date range of up to 3 months (1 quarter) for AI-powered period reviews, giving you much more flexibility when analyzing your productivity.

5. Search by Comments: You can now search your comments and the associated tables will appear in the results as well.

Latest updates on SelfManager.ai, former Self-Manager.net - February 19, 2026

1. Domain change: The domain was changed to SelfManager.ai from Self-Manager.net to reflect the direction of the product and the current high number of AI features.

2. AI Features - Save & History: The AI Chat, Summaries and Follow-ups now have a save button and they appear afterwards on the page AI History. We believe that you should choose if you want your AI data to be saved and not be saved by default. Also, our AI Provider, Google Cloud, doesn't store your conversations or train based on your data and prompts.

3. Week and Month pages - Full Table Control: Instead of just seeing a preview of tables and their tasks, you now have full control over the tables from a period on those pages. With 1 click the table opens in a modal with full control that you have on the homepage/main page (daily view).

4. Pinned Tables - Improved Functionality & Design: Now when you click on one of your pinned tables, a pop-up opens with the table's data and you have full control over it.

5. Linked Tables in Modal: Linked tables inside other tables now also open in a modal (pop-up), similar to updates 3 and 4.

6. Mobile UI Improvements: The mobile User Interface was improved on the top part of the daily view.

7. UI Improvements: The User Interface on the page All Dates and some secondary components were also improved.
