What’s new in Anuma
Follow the latest Anuma improvements, including new models, memory updates, app fixes, and product experiments.
Week of May 18, 2026
New
- Guest trial chat — visitors can try Anuma without an account, getting three free messages on the full chat surface with the sidebar, suggestion chips, and Council Mode on display before signing in.
- Chat selection toolbar — highlight any text in a message to Save to memory (Anuma rewrites the selection into a clean entry you can edit before adding to your Memory Vault ) or Ask Anuma (the selection becomes a quote chip above the composer so your next message carries the context).
- Storage panel in Settings — real on-device usage with a per-category breakdown for Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Slide decks, and Apps.
Plans
- $10 credit pack now delivers 1000 credits (up from 900).
Improved
- Smooth streaming markdown rendering — per-word fade on new tokens, no paragraph flash, no margin oscillation, no full-height code blocks snapping shorter mid-stream, and math survives streaming without vanishing at the final render.
- Per-message response info (model, latency, tokens) moved into a single dropdown menu on chat replies.
Mobile
iOS and Android apps are coming soon.
- Library redesign — 2-column grid, full-screen image and video viewers, an inline WebView for PDFs / HTML / text, an info modal, plus an always-on auto-save so generated images, audio, and videos land in the library.
- Hybrid message search in Recents — keyword and semantic ranking combined, with a synchronous title prefill and a 300ms debounce so long-tail matches surface as you type.
- Long-press any artifact (chat images, video, audio, slide decks, apps, attached images, library tiles) for a unified Share / Save / Edit / Copy / Open sheet.
- Agents section redesign — large title, recently-used orb row, All / Text / Lifestyle filter pills, rich agent cards with Chat now / Text CTAs, and a new Agent Context / Use Cases sheet.
- Encrypted backup is on by default for new users — the nudge banner no longer fronts your first session unless you opt out.
- New app icon.
- Refreshed CTAs across home, sidebar, settings, chat, and the model picker; top-level headers unified; settings modals polished; Settings lifted to the sidebar.
- Dark-mode contrast bumped to match the new Figma; dropdown and search surfaces follow.

- Audio and video modes share a unified close-button chrome.
- “Private chats” home tile renamed to Conversations; the More section is gone; empty-state suggestions refreshed (Trending header dropped).
- User-controllable haptics toggle in settings, plus pull-to-refresh, scroll-to-bottom, theme-picker, library long-press delete, completion, and failure haptics across the app.
- New PressableWithFeedback wrapper standardizes haptics + ripple across taps; two UI/UX polish sweeps bring Reanimated motion migrations and Figma-parity icons.
- Swipe-to-dismiss keyboards via react-native-keyboard-controller.
Performance
- Backup OOM fix — restore on heavy accounts no longer climbs the heap from ~87 MB up to 168+ MB; live data shows it flat at ~97 MB across 988 ops. Binary frames replace base64, hung fetch promises are released, and media downloads stream through a new batched endpoint.
