Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

work-managementcustom-appsmcpai-automationproject-managementlow-code
◆Current state
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.
◆Where it's heading
Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.
◆Prediction
The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.

◆Recent moves

  1. 16h ago

    Hierarchical filter improvements and whiteboard color coding

    A maintenance release that adds one genuinely useful filter mode — hiding parent entities that have no matching children — alongside whiteboard color coding. The filter feature addresses a real hierarchical-view pain point but ships as experimental; the whiteboard changes are cosmetic. Consistent with Fibery's pattern of incremental polish between bigger drops.

    September 3, 2026 / Custom Apps updates, Set a load limit for Lists and Tables on Entity View, Multi-window support in the desktop app

    A significant internal refactor of the Custom Apps platform ships alongside multi-window support for the desktop app and configurable entity load limits. The platform update introduces a breaking change that requires older apps to be rebuilt, signaling that Custom Apps architecture is still in flux even post-GA. Multi-window desktop is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement for power users.

    August 27, 2026 / Usage dashboard, manually edit custom apps

    A usage dashboard for AI credits, automation runs, and integration syncs addresses a real operational blind spot for teams hitting plan limits mid-month. Manual editing of Custom Apps adds a fallback for when AI generation produces imperfect output. Both are practical additions that increase trust in the platform's new capabilities.

    August 20, 2026 / Batch undo, create automations with AI, Views history

    AI-driven automation creation is the headline here — users can now describe an automation in natural language and have Fibery build it. Batch undo addresses a longstanding data-recovery gap where reversing mass deletions required manual support. These are meaningful capability extensions that lower the floor for non-technical users without changing the platform's direction.

    August 13, 2026 / Custom Apps, See how each change was made (UI, API, automation, AI)

    ⚡ SPARK

    Custom Apps going GA is the culmination of a multi-month build — Fibery now lets any user author embedded mini-apps using AI, directly inside documents and workspaces. Change attribution (tracking whether each update came from the UI, API, automation, or AI) ships alongside it, establishing accountability infrastructure for a platform where AI is now an active modifier of data.

    August 6, 2026 / Custom Apps improvements, Convert Select field to Database, Update small part of rich text and add comments via MCP

    Pre-GA polish on Custom Apps adds in-context visual editing (click an element, describe the change) and a test step that auto-fixes obvious build errors. MCP gains the ability to update specific sections of rich text and add comments, extending AI-accessible surfaces beyond structured data. Both moves show Fibery tightening the Custom Apps experience ahead of the public launch one week later.
