Today we’re shipping v3.3.0. The theme this time is making the AI better at two things — creative freedom and honesty. Write mature or explicit scenes without getting blocked, see when and why the AI shifts gears, and finally edit what the AI remembers about you. We also made sign-in, push notifications, and cross-device sync a lot steadier, and gave the writing sprint a serious upgrade.
AI mode selection: write explicit scenes without getting blocked
Writing romance, horror, or adult scenes, the AI would sometimes refuse or stall on sensitive content. Now you decide how far it goes.
- A new “low-restriction” mode. You can switch to it in both AI Chat and Beta Reader settings. With it on, Slima automatically picks a suitable AI, so sensitive material is far less likely to get blocked.
- One-click retry when something’s filtered. If a chat message gets caught by a safety filter, you don’t have to rewrite it — retry in low-restriction mode with one click.
- Costs up front. Different modes cost different amounts, so Beta Reader honestly shows the estimated points for each mode before you commit.
A more accurate, more transparent Beta Reader
The AI Beta Reader report fixes a handful of nagging glitches and is more open about what the AI is doing under the hood.
- The attention curve no longer tangles. We fixed the curve occasionally folding back on itself, so the rise and fall of reader attention reads cleanly.
- The source panel stays put. The side-by-side manuscript panel no longer flickers out, so notes and text always line up.
- The quota bar shows what’s left. The bar at the top of the report now shows only your remaining allowance.
- It tells you when it switches models. When content trips a safety limit and the AI needs to switch to a different analysis model to finish, the report says so plainly — the result is still worth using, you just know what happened along the way.
Edit what the AI remembers
Slima’s AI builds up a memory of how you write and what you prefer, and gets to know you over time. But once in a while it gets something wrong.
- Fix it directly. You can now edit the AI’s memory of you by hand. When it’s misremembered an observation, correct it, and the AI’s later work lines up closer to who you actually are.
A much bigger writing sprint
After last release moved the sprint into a floating card, this one takes it further.
- The timer follows you into Focus Mode. In Focus Mode the timer is no longer hidden, so you can sprint and write immersively at the same time.
- Rest breaks. When a sprint ends you can take a 5-minute break with one tap, with a chime when it’s over — much closer to a proper Pomodoro rhythm.
- More useful presets. Durations are now 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes, fully customizable, and Slima remembers your last pick.
- Drag it, shrink it. Drag the timer wherever it suits you, or shrink it to a pill — tap once to expand back to the full panel.
- Sprints in your weekly review. Your weekly review now includes this week’s sprint stats — how many you ran and how much you wrote, at a glance.
Mobile writing, smoothed out
We reworked how you open and move through books on your phone.
- Files list first. Opening a book now shows the file list first, instead of dropping you straight into the last file you edited.
- Refresh stays put. Refreshing on mobile keeps you on the page you were on, instead of jumping back to your last book.
- Share from the top bar. The top bar now has a share button right where you’d reach for it.
- Back leaves in one tap. Inside a book, the back button now leaves in a single press.
Sign-in, push, and sync — steadier
We cleared a batch of low-level issues that affect getting in, getting notified, and not losing words.
- More reliable sign-in. We fixed authorization stalling or 404-ing after connecting Slima from Claude over MCP, and fixed Google sign-in failing inside the Instagram / Threads in-app browsers. After you sign in, you now land back on the page you were headed to.
- Push notifications that actually turn on. When you set a reminder time or enable push during onboarding, Slima now actually completes device registration (it used to save your preference but never deliver). On iPhone it walks you through adding Slima to your Home Screen first, and if enabling fails it now tells you exactly why.
- Safer cross-device sync. We fixed occasional content rollbacks and dropped characters across devices, and hardened our “ghost commit” protection so your cloud content is far less likely to be overwritten by an older device.
More editor & interface polish
- AI-created books get an outline file. When you create a new book with AI, Slima now adds an outline file so you start with a skeleton.
- First-line indent, multi-select. First-line indent now applies to multiple paragraphs at once and survives a refresh.
- Cleaner plain-text copy. Copying as plain text no longer adds stray backslashes.
- Paste to the root. You can now paste files to the top-level root of the tree.
- Auto-sizing description field. The book-description field now grows to fit what you type.
- Chapter analysis keeps its place. Switching tabs and back no longer loses your chapter analysis.
- One-tap full-width punctuation (for Chinese writing). Writers working in Chinese can convert half-width punctuation to full-width from the editor’s ”⋯ More” menu — it previews the changes, only touches punctuation next to Chinese characters, and undoes in one Ctrl+Z.
What’s next
We’ll keep pulling on the two threads behind this release — letting you write more freely, and making the AI’s choices more transparent. See you next time.
