Improved app reliability: every block is now verified before generation

We tightened the link between our component catalog and the app generator. If a screen is available, it's guaranteed to work. Zero silent failures.

One of our core principles is that every app Chime generates should just work — no broken screens, no missing pieces.

This update ensures that every screen and feature in the catalog has been fully verified before it's offered to you. The result: when you describe your app and hit Generate, every component is guaranteed to render correctly with all its interactions wired up.

This means fewer surprises and more confidence that what you see in the preview is what your users will get.

Introducing the Chime Partner Program

Two new ways to earn with Chime: Launch Partners who test and publish apps, and Ambassadors who share Chime with their audience.

Today we're opening applications for the Chime Partner Program.

Launch Partners are developers and freelancers who handle App Store and Google Play submissions for Chime customers. Each completed publish job earns a fee plus ongoing revenue share.

Ambassadors are creators with an established audience who promote Chime. Each referred paid conversion earns a flat bonus.

All applications are reviewed manually. Apply at chimebuild.com/partners.

Visual richness update: glass effects, elevated cards, floating nav

Generated apps now look dramatically better out of the box. A new design layer gives per-component control over shadow, blur, radius, and elevation.

The first wave of visual richness is live in generated apps. The design system now supports multiple visual styles — from flat and minimal to rich and elevated — all controlled through your theme settings.

New in generated apps: floating tab bars, seamless headers, glassmorphism-style cards, hero image layouts, and more. The best part? You can adjust the visual feel by describing what you want — "make it feel more premium" or "keep it clean and minimal" — and Chime adapts the design tokens automatically.
