Release notes
What changed in Metric Vault, newest first, grouped by month. The platform ships continuously and has no version numbers.
Last updated 2026-08-12
Summary#
Metric Vault ships continuously. There are no version numbers, no numbered releases and no maintenance windows: a change is live on metricvaultai.com as soon as it is finished and verified. This page is therefore a change log by period rather than by version, newest first, covering the platform from its first month to today.
Overview#
Read this page for three reasons: to find out when something you rely on changed, to see what has arrived since you last looked, and to check whether a behavior you remember is still current.
Three things to know about how it is written.
- Grouped by month, not by version. Each section lists the customer-visible changes that landed in that month, gathered by theme rather than in the order they happened.
- Dates are when the change went live, because deploying is what makes a change real here.
- It describes what changed, not everything that was done. Internal refactoring, test tooling and operator-only work are left out unless you would notice the result.
Where a change altered a documented number or behavior, the article that owns that fact has been updated too; follow the link rather than relying on the summary here.
Note
Note: Because there are no versions, "which version am I on?" has no answer. Everyone is on the current platform at all times. If a change is listed below, your account has it.
August 2026#
The largest month for in-app guidance, saved work and language coverage.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| Tool explainers | Every tool section gained a rich in-app explainer below the tool: Get Started workflows, Keyword & Content Research, Site Health, Competitors & Backlinks, AI Visibility, Write & Optimize, Promote, Image Tools and Track & Report. Each one explains the tool, shows a worked demo and links back to the input. See In-app tool explainers |
| Get Recommendations | Rebuilt as a staged panel that reads your result and writes an action plan, reachable from the result tab bar as well as from under the result. Access is now decided by plan, with a monthly limit per plan. See Get Recommendations |
| Library | A new Saved Work workspace: results grouped by tool, search and filtering handled server-side, paging with Load more, and per-item Run fresh and delete, singly or in bulk. See Saved Work |
| Results | Results now open summary-first, with View Full Report to expand, and long reports are grouped into category tabs. Result width is capped so a report no longer sprawls on a wide screen. See Executive summaries and result tabs |
| Languages | Translation extended from the dashboard to the whole site, including dynamic text such as toasts, loading messages and dialogs, and feature and section names. The sign-in page and all four policy pages now carry all six languages including Russian. See Supported languages |
| Free tools | AI Search Visibility Checker, GEO Audit and SEO Competitor Analysis joined the free suite, and eight existing pages gained full guides, playbooks and FAQs. See Free tools, no account needed |
| Light and dark | Light mode was completed across the free tools, the blog, pricing and the policy pages, and every severe light-mode contrast failure was fixed. See Light and dark mode |
| Navigation | The public navigation bar and footer became a single shared component across all 21 public pages, with a working mobile menu and a compact language pill |
| Homepage | The platform walkthrough replaced its screenshots with nine animated tool demos, and the hero became a domain bar you can type into |
| Blog Studio | A usable media library with reuse, copy, download and safe delete; AI title suggestions; automatic internal linking that tells you which links it added; and a schedule field that accepts a half-typed date without storing the wrong one. See Blog Studio |
| Exports | Export and share buttons stay disabled until a result exists, and re-disable when a new run starts. Exports now follow the view you are on: on a result tab they export that tab's content, and View Full Report — now sitting right after the tabs, before Get recommendations — reveals the whole report in place so the same buttons export everything. Export was also removed from the five screens that produce no result (Integrations, Rank Alerts, the two Vaults, the Live Writing Editor). See Exporting results |
| Sign-in | A signed-out visitor to the dashboard is sent to the sign-in page instead of a dead-end screen, and returns to the app afterwards |
| Security | Deleting a saved result now requires a verified session, not just an address |
July 2026#
Billing became real, data got cheaper and faster, and the content and social sides of the product filled out.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| Billing | Stripe subscriptions were connected to what your account can actually do, and the pricing page was rebuilt around it. The Free plan was restored to the public grid and the credit figures in the comparison table were corrected. See Plans and pricing |
| Caching | A shared data cache went in front of the search-data provider in three stages until every eligible tool was covered, each with its own lifetime. Repeating a recent identical run now returns in a fraction of the time. See Result caching and freshness |
| Get Recommendations | Extended from a handful of tools to every analysis tool, driven by one shared rule set |
| New tools | Forum & Reddit Visibility, Editorial Workflow & Calendar, Live Writing Editor, Image Support, Localization, GEO Content Scorer, Duplicate Content Audit and Backlink Hygiene Toolkit. Publish Integrations arrived in beta, draft-only. Local SEO and Reputation were merged into a single GBP Audit with full profile details. See Tool catalog and credit cost |
| Exports | Every tool's export was routed through one engine producing real PDF, Excel, CSV and JSON, replacing screenshot-style PDFs with proper vector text |
| Navigation | The first section became Get Started, Account & Team was added, and merged tools kept their own screens behind a tab strip rather than losing one |
| PageSpeed | The report was rebuilt to match Google's own PageSpeed Insights layout, and made resilient to a single provider key running out. See PageSpeed & Vitals |
| Social | Post scheduling arrived with a queue, a composer and a background runner. See Scheduled social posts |
| Library | Activity history gained a timeline, filters and a detail panel, real pagination, and the ability to replay a saved run as the original report rather than raw data |
| Languages | Russian was added, and tool results began being translated as they render |
| Dialogs | Native browser alerts and prompts were replaced with accessible in-app dialogs |
| Assistant | The Metric Vault Assistant gained document and image attachments, a stop button, and Analyze this screen |
| Layout | The sidebar gained a visible collapse toggle, and the content area widens when it is collapsed |
June 2026#
A design pass across the whole app, and the browser extension's second generation.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| Chrome extension | The SEO Quickview popup was rebuilt, then given a real AI Visibility score, a real twelve-month sparkline and a corrected authority scale. See The Chrome extension |
| Before you run | Every section and tool gained a designed pre-run screen explaining what it does and what you will get, instead of an empty box with a text field |
| Workflows | Workflow output was upgraded so each tool inside a workflow renders its full standalone report rather than a reduced summary |
| Content tools | Content Optimizer, the brief and outline generators and the content gap analysis were rebuilt with scoring, prioritized fixes and copyable suggestions |
| My Content | The content library became a real workspace with counts by state, quick add, filtering and per-item actions |
| PageSpeed reliability | Provider keys are now rotated, with a diagnostic behind it, so a single exhausted key no longer breaks the tool |
| AI Article Generator | Gained a short-form mode and per-phase progress, so a long generation reports what it is doing instead of appearing to hang |
May 2026#
Payments, plans and the first real AI-visibility measurement.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| Payments | Checkout, subscription confirmation on return, and a verified Stripe webhook that upgrades on payment and downgrades when a subscription is cancelled or goes unpaid. See Subscription states |
| Plan gating | Plan limits became real rather than cosmetic: seat limits per plan, white-label reporting from Pro upwards, and API keys and scheduled briefs on Enterprise. See Plan capability matrix |
| Plan structure | The public plans were aligned to a single consistent set of tiers and prices |
| AI visibility | The first real large-language-model tracking framework behind Visibility Overview, Prompt Research and Prompt Tracking, replacing modelled figures with measured ones. Anything still estimated was relabelled as an estimate. See Visibility Overview |
| Competitor Monitor | Completed: the missing management actions (update, delete, check now and the rest) were implemented, and the change history became usable. See Competitor Monitor |
| Speed and cost | Provider responses began being cached for one to thirty days depending on how volatile the data is, cutting both cost and waiting time |
| Working context | An active domain in the top bar carries across tools, and a shared date-range control drives every time-series chart |
| Reports | Roughly forty individual tool reports were redesigned into the layout the product uses today |
April 2026#
The first month. The platform went from an empty repository to a working product.
| Area | What changed |
|---|---|
| The app | The dashboard shipped with its first nine sections, alongside the sign-in page and the privacy and terms pages |
| Accounts | Sign-in with an email address or Google, an account screen, profile settings, and password change and reset that work for both sign-in methods. See Account and settings |
| Teams | Team accounts, workspace scoping so a member sees the owner's work, and usage quotas enforced per account. See Teams and access |
| Real search data | Live search-provider data behind the tools, replacing generated placeholders, with a country selector and date-range controls |
| Saved work | Reports and history wired to real data, share URLs for a finished report, and CSV and Excel export. See Results, reports and sharing |
| Managers | Keyword Vault and Competitor Manager as saved workspaces, and the first version of Competitor Monitor checking pages on a schedule |
| White label | Your own branding on exported PDFs. See White-label reports |
| Onboarding | A welcome tour, Try sample buttons on each tool, and recent searches |
| Browser extension | A complete Chrome extension package, and the backend behind it |
| Integrations | Google Search Console and Google Analytics connections, and benchmark data built on them. See Google Search Console |
| Installable app | Progressive web app support with an install prompt, and a mobile layout |
