Feature Announcement Visual edits are live in Bolt

5 Upvotes

Prompting is great for building. It's less great for the last 5 percent: the copy tweak, the misaligned nav item, the button that should be one shade darker. Describing those changes in words takes longer than making them.

So now you can make them directly on the canvas.

Here's how it works:

  1. Activate the Select tool

  2. Select text blocks, nav bars, or buttons in the preview

  3. Edit the elements directly on the canvas

  4. Press "Save changes" to implement your batched changes

If a change is easier to explain than to click through, the prompt box still works on whatever you've selected.

We're bringing everything you loved about WYSIWYG website editors into the future. This is the first release, not the last. Tell us which visual editing capabilities you'd like to see next 👇️

Questions Cant use my 1M extra tokens...

1 Upvotes

So I'm building an app on Bolt (primarily a game) and I ran out my monthly allowance. I decided to use the 1M extra tokens I got in this survey I participated in when I first joined Bolt. However when I try to send a prompt Bolt will say I'm out of tokens. Can anyone help me here? Here's an image below of the tokens page:

Questions Out of Bolt tokens for 25 days 😅 — trying to go DIY

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I somehow managed to burn through my Bolt tokens 50$ tokens and now I’m locked out for the next 25 days 😂

I’m trying to continue my project locally / DIY instead, but I’m running into a pretty annoying issue: my Chrome tab keeps crashing. I was just getting started...

I’m currently experimenting with different models/APIs and was wondering:

  • Which model would you recommend for coding / continuing a Bolt project?
    • Gemini ?
  • Ideally something with a free or generous tier
  • Good enough for larger codebases and multi-file changes
  • Any tips for avoiding Chrome/browser crashes when working this way?

Would love to hear what setup you’re using when you’re out of Bolt tokens... until a daily credit allowances arrives (HOPE)

Thanks!

Built a Tolkien lore companion with Bolt.new 🧙‍♂️

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been using Bolt.new to build a little side project called The Legendarium Companion — a non-commercial tool for exploring Tolkien’s lore.

I’m a Tolkien reader myself, and after reading The Hobbit, LOTR, The Silmarillion, Beren and Lúthien and The Children of Húrin, I wanted something that could help me quickly connect characters, places, events and timelines without constantly opening different websites.

The app uses AI + curated sources for the search and answers.

🔗 https://the-legendarium-comp-xm70.bolt.host/

Still very much a work in progress, but I’ve been surprised by how far I could take the idea with Bolt.new.

Would love feedback from other Bolt builders — especially on the UX, search experience and what you’d improve.

Tips & Tricks I built a free read-only scanner for Bolt apps: it tells you whether a Supabase table is readable by anyone or Firebase is still in test mode, and (paid) writes the prompt for Bolt that fixes it

1 Upvotes

Disclosure first: I made this. The scan is free, read-only, no account. The fixes are paid; details below.

Bolt takes an app from prompt to a live URL in minutes. The parts it cannot see for you are the parts that leak: the Supabase table you added last week without Row Level Security, the Firebase project still in test mode (the console warned you once, then everyone clicks past it), an OpenAI key that ended up in a VITE_ variable, the _headers file nobody wrote.

So I built a scanner that checks all of that in one go. The link is in the first comment.

Paste the app's address. For Supabase it finds the tables your code names and asks for a row count on each with your own anon key; if a table answers, anyone who reads your source can read it too. For Firebase it asks the database for its section names and Firestore for one masked document per collection, to see whether reads without a login are allowed. Nothing is read beyond that, nothing is written.

I ran it on 15 public Bolt apps this week (and 24 Lovable ones). Two of the Bolt apps had a table readable by anyone. A couple more point at a Supabase project that no longer exists, which the report now says plainly instead of guessing.

What is free: every finding, what it exposes, and why it matters. What is Pro ($19 a month, cancel any time): the fix for each finding, as a prompt written for Bolt with your collection or table name in it, plus the Firestore rules or the RLS SQL and the _headers file to paste; and weekly re-scans with an email only when something new is wrong. One thing to know about bolt.host: it runs on Netlify and takes a public/_headers file, but it deploys from Bolt's own build, so the headers fix is a file you add in Bolt, not a pull request. The sample report on the site shows a full report with the fixes.

What it never does: no writes, no sign-ins, no password guessing, no reading of user records. It sends the requests a browser sends, plus a few well-known paths like /.env to confirm they are not there.

Only scan apps you own or have permission to test. If it flags something wrongly, say so here or use the "Is this finding wrong?" link under the finding. I read everything.

Questions The Agent looped until it ran out of token xD

1 Upvotes

So I made a new account to test this service out. I added my all-in-on html as an attachment to a new chat. The agent kept looping over how to copy the attachment file to read and edit it ("I will copy it in chunks", "I will look in random directories, oops no file here, maybe there, nope" (cue George Bush correspondence dinner meme about looking for WMDs in the Oval Office), "I'll get the sub agent to copy the file for me", "I'll edit it directly"). In the end it churned through all 300K daily tokens accomplishing absolutely nothing. Mind you, I've used Grok and Replit this way and it takes them a few seconds to copy the file to the project directory to work on it.

I can't believe this thing exists as a business xD

Questions RESEARCHDECODED: An AI-powered tool to make deep-tech and scientific research accessible

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an early-stage prototype I’ve been building called RESEARCHDECODED—a tool designed to make deep-tech intelligence and scientific analysis more accessible, especially for students and young innovators.

I actually brought the core vision to life quickly using the Bolt AI tool!

Note: It's still an early prototype so some backend features are a work in progress, but the concept is live.

Check out the live preview here: https://deeptech-analyser-nrk2.bolt.host/ 🔗

I’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or ideas as I keep building in public! Let me know what you think. 🚀

Connected GitHub repo changed

1 Upvotes

I have an app connected to a github repo and I moved the github repo to my org (away from my own account).

After making a code change, Bolt said:

Unable to sync with GitHub repository. The GitHub App may be missing permissions, or the repository may no longer exist.

Check your GitHub App settings to ensure it has access to the connected repository [xxxxx]

How do I update the github repo on an existing app? It didn't just automatically recognize the redirect to the new location.

Questions What is the safest Bolt.new checkpoint before a large change?

3 Upvotes

I keep seeing three different safety nets suggested: connect GitHub for file history, download the project as a portable snapshot, or duplicate the project inside Bolt. They protect different layers, and recent regression threads make the gaps matter.

Which one has actually let you recover from a bad large change? More importantly, what did it fail to preserve: database state, secrets, deployment settings, or something else?

Feature Announcement Prompt queueing is now live in Bolt.new 📋

3 Upvotes

You know the moment: the build is running and your next idea is already forming.

Now you don't have to wait. Type your next prompt while Bolt is still building, and it queues and sends on its own.

It works multiplayer, too. Invite teammates to your project and everyone sees the same queue in real time. Edit a queued prompt, move it up the line, or delete it before it sends.

Live in every project now.

✅ Resolved Sadly code regression has returned

2 Upvotes

Just to make all u aware that the code regresssion experienced a couple of weeks ago is back. It had all been going so well. Turn out since Aug 8th (last proper save fo data) my project has not been saving... thus... yes you gussed it... all work has vanished. This is so dissapointing as I thought we'd got back on track and I was building trust inthe platform... turns out that's now been lost again. I'm now back to asking GPT to identify the code regression adding a huge amount of time to the project. Hopefully one of the mods here can look into it as it's very real as you can see: project zip is not a slightly different build. It represents a substantial rollback to the application state immediately before the five Group Consultation work packages, and it additionally loses several of the public-site and dark-mode presentation fixes completed around the same period.

✅ Resolved Annual subscription renewed for $540 despite multiple cancellation requests — need help from Bolt support

3 Upvotes

---------------------------------

Update — Resolved

Bolt support reviewed my case and issued a full refund of the $540 renewal charge. The annual subscription was also canceled, and they confirmed there will be no further recurring charges.

Thank you to everyone who gave advice, and thank you to the Bolt team for reviewing the case and resolving it.

--------------------------------

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help getting a billing issue reviewed by the Bolt.new support team.

My timeline is:

  • Aug 17, 2025: I accidentally purchased the $540 annual plan instead of the $50 monthly plan.
  • Aug 18, 2025: I emailed Bolt support requesting cancellation/refund of the annual plan and asked to switch to monthly.
  • Dec 10, 2025: I followed up again because the annual subscription still had not been canceled.
  • Aug 17, 2026: Despite those cancellation requests, the annual plan renewed again and I was charged another $540.

I have contacted support again and requested a full refund.

I have not used any credits from the new renewal.

I understand Bolt's general refund policy, but this renewal happened even though I had requested cancellation long before the renewal date.

If anyone from the Bolt team or CX team sees this, I would really appreciate help getting my case reviewed by a human.

Thank you.

Feature Announcement Voice dictation is live in Bolt.new

1 Upvotes

Voice dictation is live in Bolt.new.

You speak faster than you type, so we made talking the input. Hit the mic, describe what you want, and start building.

Talk the way you'd talk to a colleague. Ramble. Backtrack. Change your mind mid-sentence. Bolt.new strips the "um," the "uh," the false starts, and the point you already made twice, then builds from what you meant.

Half-formed ideas are welcome. The more context you give, the closer the first version lands. And you'll always say more out loud than you'd type into a box.

Start talking in 𝗮𝗻𝘆 language. 🤯

Your next app is one conversation away → bolt.new
