Everything new in Neural Garden — features, fixes, and improvements as they ship.
If you use Neural Garden from your iPhone's home screen, taps now land exactly where you touch and the screen no longer jumps around while the app opens.
This release is public-launch polish: clearer sync status, easier help, and a batch of dark mode and mobile fixes. Garden invitations are also more reliable, and a session that expires now says so instead of failing quietly.
A garden you publish can now be listed where anyone can find it, not just the people you hand a link to. Add yours from the Share panel and it appears with a picture of the garden itself.
New accounts now start on a waitlist while we open the door a few people at a time. Signing in still creates your account — you wait on the waitlist page instead of your garden until you are approved.
Text search used to answer with whatever you had touched most recently, which buried the thought you actually named. It now leads with the closest match to what you typed, and it keeps up in a large garden.
Several ways an offline change could quietly go missing are fixed, and catching up after a stretch away no longer takes a quarter of an hour. Large gardens open faster too.
A shared garden now opens with a list of the places you named, so a visitor can jump straight to one instead of panning around looking for it. Links look and behave like links — on the shared page and on your own canvas alike.
A published garden is no longer only something to look at. Copy the whole thing into your own garden — signing up on the spot if you don’t have an account yet — or take the embed code and put it in a page of your own.
A shared garden's page now looks like the real canvas — pictures and videos show instead of just naming their file, and links to other thoughts actually take you there. Downloading a shared garden and importing it back in keeps those links working too.
Publish any garden, or a single thought inside it, as a read-only link — no account needed to view it. It looks and feels like the real canvas, and only shows what you meant to share.
Importing a file no longer drops its contents loose across your home canvas — everything lands inside one new thought named after the file. A garden you downloaded from a share link also keeps its typed properties when you bring it back in.
Resizing, fitting, and arranging a region now behaves the way you'd expect, and changes reach everyone in the garden immediately.
Wrapping a selection in a color region now leaves room at the top for the region's own handles, without reaching over a thought you didn't pick. Regions also lay out a single thought, and leave AI suggestions alone entirely.
A region's name now hangs above its top edge under every layout, so a long name can no longer sit on top of the handles beside it. Fit region to contents sizes a region to what's actually on screen, and a region with no arrangement grows to hold one you drag into it.
A color region now has its own Arrange menu: pick a layout and the thoughts inside it lay themselves out within the box. It keeps itself tidy from then on, re-flowing when you drop a thought in, drag one out, or resize the region.
A color region or bookmark someone else adds, moves, recolours or removes now appears on your canvas straight away. Before this you had to reload the page to see it.
The Arrange menu for a selection now offers the same layouts as the whole canvas, plus a Sort by list to set their order. The layouts themselves lay out more evenly.
Copy to My Gardens used to make a second view of the original, so editing your copy edited the other person's thought and losing access left it stranded in your garden. It now makes real thoughts that belong to you.
Thoughts the AI proposes no longer turn up as gardens in the sidebar before you have decided anything about them.
Arranging a garden by hand and viewing it in an automatic layout somewhere else no longer costs you the arrangement. Each device keeps its own layout mode, and Manual always brings back exactly what you placed.
The Types entry lives in the sidebar's System section and no longer shows up as a thought on your home canvas.
Three small things that got in the way on a touch screen, fixed. The bottom sheet and the dock now behave the same however you reach them.
A thought mentioned in many notes no longer gets a copy added to each note, and following a link takes you straight to it instead of asking where. When a thought lives in several places, the number beside its title lists them all.
Whatever you were typing in the side panel is saved when you close it or move on to another thought. Search finds the thought you named first, and dragging a collapsed thought keeps its hidden children with it.
The nested thoughts and the backlinks under a thought each get a search field, on the card and in the side panel alike. It can also find the thoughts that mention this one in plain text and link them for you with one click.
The command bar at the bottom now follows your phone's rounded corners, opens with a proper ease, and steps aside for the keyboard. Links in descriptions and backlinks behave the same in the side panel as they do on a card.
Select a thought and a round handle pops out of each side. Click it or drag from it to make a connection or a whole new thought — at every zoom level, in place of the old four dots and the + button.
With Grok as your AI provider, the assistant can now search the web and X when a question needs current or outside information. It also runs on xAI's newest model, so answers and suggestions get sharper across the app.
The last of the iOS cursor trouble around links is gone, and the slash menu's text styles work again. A few small controls got easier to tap, and a lost picture now says so.
The assistant is now one step away from any thought, connection or blank patch of canvas, and it can write straight into a description. Pictures you add or generate also stop vanishing.
Placing the cursor, selecting text and moving around a description on iOS no longer trips over links, gestures or the editor sheet.
Picking an existing thought from the title list sometimes left you with two of it — one you had to hunt down and delete. It doesn't any more.
Create a thought and AI can fill in the rest — its type, a first line of description, and details it knows. A tap on the new sparkle does the same for any thought you're editing.
Sharing now hands a guest exactly the canvases you give them — nothing nested deeper, nothing by accident. Invites, roles and the Trash all follow the same rule.
Editing a connection used to mean hitting a thin line with your cursor. Both jobs live in the menus now.
AI suggestions are sketches until you accept them, and they finally behave like it. Deleting a thought from inside another thought also stopped going missing.
Two thoughts answering to the same name made every [[link]] a coin toss. Aliases are now held to the same rule titles always were.
Backlinks caught up with nested lists — their own rows, their own sort control, the same soft edges. Dragging on an iPad is smooth again.
The list of thoughts inside a thought became something you can work with. On a phone a row lifts under your finger the way it does in Reminders.
Every thought and every selection now has a menu behind a right-click, or a long press on a phone. The headline command inside is Move Into…
Ask the AI for a picture and it lands on the thought you meant, or paste one straight into a description. However it arrives, you can spot it from any distance.
Neural Garden no longer needs a Google or GitHub account. Type your email, click the link we send, and you are in — first visit included.
Several commands in the > menu quietly did nothing. Now every entry does exactly what the toolbar would, and Undo covers nearly everything you do.
Getting in and out of the Daily garden is quick and clean now, and the journal column stands perfectly straight. Frosted glass gave way to solid surfaces that stay crisp at every zoom.
The first thought you opened after loading a garden could sit there for about fifteen seconds, even when it was empty. That is gone.
In desktop Safari, zooming shrank your thoughts along with the canvas instead of holding them readable. Fixed — and a tuning pass reset what a fresh canvas looks like.
Writing a longer description used to push a thought straight through the one below it until you nudged something. The layout re-flows the moment you save now.
Days, weeks, months and years now carry an actual date rather than leaning on their titles, and the canvas can sort by it — or by any property your thoughts carry. Every garden also remembers where you left it.
A garden with hundreds of thoughts used to freeze for seconds after appearing, redoing a layout it had already saved. Suggestions also learned to step aside.
Zooming a garden with colour regions on could silently kill the Safari tab. Fixed at the root, and the whole zoom experience improved with it.
The guide now drafts two levels at once, so keeping a suggestion hands you the next three instantly. Suggestions became tidy chips that follow your selection at any zoom.
Every canvas paints from the copy on your device first, online or offline, with the server catching up quietly behind it.
The Socratic guide reads far more of your garden before it speaks — including a goal you write and every suggestion you have turned down.
Offline used to cover only each garden's top canvas — drilling into a thought showed an empty space. Every nested level comes with you now.
Auto-arranged layouts re-tidy themselves as you zoom, instead of overlapping until you nudged something.
Long titles stay legible at every zoom, and the AI's answers arrive with real formatting instead of raw markdown.
A garden with months of daily entries used to flood the server on opening and jam everything else. Saves are batched now.
Ctrl+scroll zooms the way you would expect, and every shortcut hint shows your keyboard's keys rather than Mac symbols.
AI suggestions moved out of chat and onto the canvas. Press + on a thought and three suggested paths fan out as real, movable thoughts — sketched in dashes until you decide.
Recent releases made the app far steadier on phones, but rare crashes remain. Now when a tab dies, Neural Garden notices and reports what happened.
Drag the thought panel to fit your work, reach panel actions on your phone, and enjoy a tidier desktop canvas.
The canvas background moved to one efficient layer that no longer crashes phones, and your local data moved off the main thread.
A full background for the infinite canvas: distance rings, automatic type territories, and colour regions you draw yourself.
Zooming got a polish pass: cards unfold in stages, and the deepest zoom-out stays tidy, readable and clickable.
Optional shortcuts get you into the wikilink picker without typing brackets.
Zooming out settles thoughts into clear levels of detail rather than continuously resizing them, closer to how a map labels cities and countries.
The whole-garden map is smooth and crash-free on phones now, and zooming out stops where your thoughts actually are.
A new Backup and Restore section in Settings captures everything you own in one file you can save, schedule, restore, or mirror to Markdown.
New ways to read a big garden: a map of every nested thought, a focus mode that dims everything else, and zoom that keeps your important thoughts legible longest.
Panning gently stops at the edge of your thoughts, so a stray swipe cannot fling the canvas into empty space.
Pin a layout you like — a locked thought holds its spot and will not be nudged by a stray drag or an auto-arrange.
A new Agent Tasks area is where background AI work shows up. Capture a batch of links and the agent sorts them into the right types, using your own key, on your command.
The Chrome extension works on every web page now. Pages arrive already typed — recipes, articles, films, podcasts, products — and land wherever you choose.
All 45 built-in types got a once-over: shorter descriptions, tighter aliases, unique icons and a cleaner hierarchy.
Every place that pops a search list — the title field, wikilinks, slash commands, the type picker, the command bar — now looks and behaves the same.
Drop a Beatport link on the canvas and Neural Garden builds a fully typed Track — artwork, player, artist and label linked up.
Text sized for phones, a dock that shows your real thoughts, and a swipe to indent while writing.
A new vertical timeline stacks dated thoughts like a journal, and the horizontal one gained a date rail above the cards.
Bulleted lists inside a description fold and unfold, and a wikilink shows its target's type at a glance.
A Daily garden with one entry per date, commands to link any date, and a command bar that picks the best match rather than always offering Ask AI.
Give a thought other names it answers to, and get back the vertical space the canvas chrome was taking.
A rename flows through every wikilink and backlink as it happens, and a property value can hold a link.
A new thought made inside another one now lands there directly, and brackets pair themselves as you type.
Switching between reading and editing a thought no longer shifts anything under your cursor.
Returning to a garden you visited recently paints instantly from your device, while fresh data arrives behind it.
An outline that behaves like one, and thought text that shows its real formatting even at a glance.
The built-in types can be shaped on the canvas now. Changes stay a draft until published, and your own edits survive an update.
Drill into any thought to see what is nested inside it on its own canvas, and link thoughts together with wikilinks that stick.
Create, connect and nest thoughts by typing what you want, and the canvas rearranges itself around the result.
The first version of Neural Garden goes live.
