Optional but strongly recommended: after your password you enter a 6-digit code from any authenticator app, so a stolen password alone can't get in. Set it up in Settings › Account; you get one-time recovery codes for if you lose your phone, and password-only sign-in still works if you'd rather not. (Passkeys coming next.)
An optional receipt when it lands, a heads-up if it'll sit a while, and the closing note when it ships or is sorted. Each carries a one-click "quiet this" link. You choose which go out and can reword every one, under Settings › Ground Control.
A request that arrives through a Ground Control door (not one you raised yourself) gets a small dot on the queue so it doesn't slip by; turn it up to a Cockpit mention or off entirely. It clears once you've looked — no badge that never leaves.
Each file on the Files screen (and its tiles) now has a ✕ that removes it (with a confirm). The stored bytes go too, unless the exact same file is attached elsewhere, in which case only that copy is removed.
Under Settings → Ground Control you can now point the owner notices (a new request, an acceptance, a reply) at a custom address, or several (comma-separated), so a team can share the queue. Blank keeps using your account email.
The Ground Control settings panel no longer cuts off its right edge — long content now wraps inside the frame instead of running under it.
The opening words now show in a card at the top (not just for requests from outside, but ones you raised yourself too), instead of as a plain line in the trail.
Your own bookkeeping (adding to Today, timing, files attached, reclassifying, linking, renaming) collapses into one quiet line like "Three small things — timed, a file attached, on Today"; click to see them all. The lines that matter to the requester stay visible. Nothing's deleted — it's all still in the fold and the export.
During the beta, the invite and People screens carry a call-out flagging that sharing a whole workspace is the newest, deepest part of the app — asking you to test it hard and send any and all notes (one tap files a note straight to me). It names both cases to try: inviting someone new to Cloudbase vs. someone who already has their own.
A launch note says, in a sentence or two, what changed (not just a headline), and the card shows the date it went out. (Maker: the Tower's launch-note form gained a body field, and a saved note can be re-opened and edited.)
A one-time hint on the Cockpit points out that the actions at the top are yours to arrange (each mode keeps its own set of up to three) — put it away and it won't come back.
✕ "Take the tour" or "Watch the welcome" once you don't need them front-and-center, and they drop to small links at the top of Help, still a tap away.
Five sections (what's on, your modes, the rail, your words, and money/time/people/you) with a jump-to index, instead of scattered areas.
It's tucked aside, not deleted; turn it back on and it's exactly as you left it. Scheduled reports tied to an instrument you've switched off pause rather than fail, and resume when you switch it back on.
So if someone else was in, the new password locks them out immediately.
Formation stays free during the beta, with a one-time heads-up the first time you open a room that it becomes $12/month once the beta ends — nothing turns on or charges until you say so.
You can pop a "waiting on someone else" task down onto your day to nudge it, instead of it sitting out of sight until they get back to you.
Type the name and it's created on the spot, no detour to the client workflow; fill in the details later. Same as contacts elsewhere.
Lists and panels that scroll now show there's more below, so options past the fold aren't missed.
If an instrument isn't switched on for your workspace, its bits and pieces stay out of the way — e.g. time-tracking controls don't show when Time is off.
The "attach" wording is clearer, so it's obvious you can attach a file there.
An in-app support request now records which build you were on, so a bug report carries that context automatically.
The build stamp also shows at the top of What's New, next to the title.
A ticket now shows how and exactly when it came in (which app's support page, the public page, a client link, or in-app help on a given screen), and you can flip it between a request and "something's broken" in one click.
A flight's version and takeoff date are editable right from the subtext — click a value to change it, or "+ a version" / "+ a date" to add one.
The account emails Cloudbase sends now say plainly that they're from an address that can't take replies, and point you to the in-app request form — so a reply never disappears into the void. (Replies to a Ground Control request still work, right in the thread.)
Every day the app quietly counts its key records and, if any set suddenly craters (the signature of an accidental wipe), it emails an alert so it can be caught and restored fast. You won't see it; it's there so a bad day can't quietly cost you your work.
In-app confirm and "add new" dialogs replace the browser's — deleting a file, adding a client on the fly, and turning an add-on off now use a dialog that matches the app instead of the browser's bare pop-up.
It was taking a confirm-cancel-refresh dance to land; it's a clean one-click (with an in-app confirm) that removes the file right away.
A support request sent through a Ground Control embed now keeps what the person actually wrote — the detail was being dropped, so the ticket arrived blank.
After an embed form sends, it now shows the "got it" confirmation instead of just vanishing (the message was being hidden along with the form).
Opening the assistant full-screen no longer stops your music.
The magic sign-in link now says it lasts 15 minutes, matching how long it actually works.
Missing something, or found something off? It reaches me directly.
⟩ Write to AaronThis is the short version of the site, cut down to what reads well on a small screen. The full thing — every instrument explained, the pricing configurator, the whole story — lives on the desktop site. So does the app: Cloudbase is meant to be worked from a real screen, at a desk, with your hands on it.
