October 2026 — Templates, Seedance 2.5 & Easier Publishing
Template previews fill their cards and play as you scroll, Publish suggests a valid, available address, and a request that needs a plan or credits now comes with the button for it — plus Seedance 2.5 video and an interactive 3D viewer.
- Templates: more than 250 in the gallery, with previews that fill their cards and play on their own as they scroll into view — no hover needed. On a paid plan, most of them can be copied into a working project of your own.
- Publish suggests a valid, available address, built from your project's name when it's written in Latin letters (Nata de Belém becomes nata-de-belem). If a name you type is already in use, it offers a free one you can take in a click.
- When a request needs a plan, a higher plan or more credits, the message now carries the button for it: choose or upgrade a plan, or buy credits. With no plan yet, Send opens the plans and keeps your request for when you've chosen one, and a new account lands on the plans after signing up.
- Seedance 2.5 joins the video models: 720p from a text prompt or an image, with first and last frame anchors.
- In the 3D tab, a completed object opens in an interactive viewer: drag or touch to rotate; zoom with the buttons, the wheel or a pinch; use the keyboard; and reset the view. Download is always available, even if the preview can't load.
- On a phone, the plans page names Builder, Pro and Max with their prices on the first screen, and a tap on a name brings that plan's card into view.

September 2026 — Flutter Apps, Imports & Fast Mode
Flutter apps keep your design and use real phone features; the new Import page brings projects in from seven sources; and one text field now switches between Web & App, 3D, Video and Image.
- Flutter apps keep your design: it compiles into the app's theme, and its fonts ship inside the app — no Roboto fallback and no fonts fetched at run time.
- Real phone features in Flutter apps: interactive maps, device location, camera, photo and video picking, document import and export, sharing, call and email actions, and scheduled notifications — built on audited packages, with no custom native code.
- Import from the sidebar: bring a project in from GitHub, Lovable, Bolt, Base44, Vercel, a ZIP file or a folder.
- One row of tabs — Web & App, 3D, Video and Image — sits over the same text field, so you can create more than apps.
- More video models: Wan, Hailuo and Seedance join the video picker next to the existing ones.
- Max gets Fast mode: faster answers from the priority lane. Text-model calls cost 2× credits, and it's off until you turn it on in the model picker. A request served on the standard lane is billed at the standard rate.
- An Assets library, one click from the sidebar: the files you attach, grouped in folders by project, searchable and filterable.
- Each project gets its own dashboard, with a Backend tab that has Overview, Database, Users, API and Secrets.
- Major ReleaseReleased
August 2026 — VULK V3
VULK V3 went live at app.vulk.dev on 28 August — a new studio built around the chat, with checkout and billing inside the product and an export of your data.
- A new studio built around the chat: your chats, projects and live preview in one workspace, with a preview toolbar that works like a browser's — back and forward buttons and the path of the page you're on.
- Your existing account carries over: sign in with the same Google, GitHub or Apple login as before.
- Plans, checkout and billing live inside the product: pick a plan and pay with Stripe, then update your card, download invoices or cancel from your billing settings.
- Ask the chat for an image and it generates one right in the conversation; ask about something recent and it searches the web for the answer.
- Export your data: a JSON file with your conversations, projects and the files generated in them, from the Privacy settings.
- The public API at app.vulk.dev/api/v1 and your API keys keep working exactly as before.
- The studio comes in eight languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese.
