This release adds a new end of year reflection feature. Instead of setting New Year’s resolutions, write about your past year and think carefully about what you want for next year.
After you’re done writing, use Focu’s AI to reflect further, gain insights and set actionable steps.
For feedback on the questions and prompts, don’t hesitate to reach out to support@focu.app or on our feedback board.
This release also includes various minor styling improvements and bug fixes.

November 14th, 2024
This update aims to make the error handling in chats more robust:
After an error is thrown, the chat should no longer be stuck in “loading”
After an error is thrown, the chat should no longer cause two assistant messages (one empty, one with the error message)
If a previously used model is deleted, older chats will use the current active model, preventing errors from being thrown
Extra checks added
This update is not expected to resolve all issues with potential errors being thrown and we’ll continue to make the app more robust in coming updates.
