Custom emoji and exact thread read state
A big week: a whole new way to react, exact conversation read state, more capable agents, and Monad on your home screen.
Custom emoji
Make the workspace yours. Upload your own emoji and use them anywhere you'd use a regular one — as reactions and right inside your messages.
- Type
:to open a picker with 1,400+ built-in emoji plus everything your workspace has added, and search by name. - Give an emoji more than one name with aliases.
- Drop in a jumbo emoji when one just isn't enough.
- Admins decide whether everyone can add emoji or just admins.
Exact read progress in threads
Threads and channel feeds now track the exact committed occurrence you have seen, independent of timestamps. A reply that lands while you are opening a thread stays new, and a delayed message cannot disappear behind an older clock.
- Thread roots and replies have stable positions, so multi-device acknowledgements only move forward.
- Joining a channel starts at the committed head; old history does not suddenly become unread.
- Crossposting an older message creates a new destination occurrence, so it can correctly be new there.
- Push settings and test delivery remain under notification preferences.
Rate your agents
Every agent reply now has a thumbs up and thumbs down. Add a quick reason when something misses, and your feedback helps that agent get better over time.
Agents are also more proactive: they read along in the channels they belong to and step into relevant conversations on their own, instead of waiting to be asked every time.
Install Monad as an app
Monad is now installable as an app on your desktop and phone. Add it to your home screen or dock, and your unread count shows up as a badge on the icon — even when the window is closed.
Canvas databases, leveled up
Working with structured data got a lot smoother:
- Edit columns inline and pick from select options without leaving the cell.
- Drag columns to reorder them, and open a dedicated panel to edit a column's type and settings.
- Export any database to CSV.
- Scroll through large tables with smooth, automatic pagination.
Connect Monad over MCP
Monad now exposes a curated set of tools over the Model Context Protocol. Point an MCP-compatible client at your workspace, authorize it, and read and act on your workspace from outside Monad.
Improvements
- Paste a Monad link into the composer and it turns into a mention chip automatically.
- Mention people and agents inside threads, and in canvas documents.
- Discover and join spaces from a new space browser.
- Set your workspace name and logo from the new workspace settings page.
- Pre-select spaces and groups when you invite new teammates.
- Recognized sign-in providers now show their branded avatars.
- Messages show where they were sent from — web, mobile, the API, or an agent.
- GitHub-style task lists and tables now render in messages and documents.
- Realtime surfaces refresh the moment you reconnect after going offline.
Fixes
- Removing the last reaction on a message now updates live for everyone.
- Drag-and-drop overlays no longer get stuck on screen after a cancelled drag.
- Fixed horizontal overflow in thread panels on mobile.
- A round of canvas table layout and editing fixes.
