We’ve just released the latest Heptabase update! This time, we’ve made the mobile app feel more native, with improved navigation headers and screen transitions on iPhone and iPad, plus an updated sidebar on iPadOS 26.
We’ve also made whiteboards easier to navigate on a smaller screen. The new minimap shows where you are and lets you quickly move around. You can now search within a whiteboard too, without constantly panning and zooming to find a card.
That minimap is available on desktop and web as well. Alongside it, this update adds drag-to-reorder options for select and multi-select properties in Tag Database, and three new AI models to choose from: GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, and Claude Opus 5.5.
I still believe in the user interface.
Feels like today's consensus is that the UI is dying in favor of building AI apps on top of existing messaging platforms. I don't buy it.
The UI is where the best products earn trust, build brand, and optimize engagement.
Thank you Alex Prager, Jack Davison, and Jimmy Chin for sharing your incredible vision and talent with us, and to Kathy Ryan for so beautifully curating this extraordinary collection.
Wait this is actually super clever. They launch a PiP video with instructions while they kick you out to the right app.
This is something @nikitabier would charge like $20,000 for.
