📱 Astro Mobile v1.3.0 – The First Mobile-Exclusive Feature Has Landed

We’re excited to introduce Astro Mobile v1.3.0, a major update that brings a bold new level of functionality and design to the app - and marks the debut of our first mobile-exclusive feature.

Last updated on

From upgraded image generation and full Markdown support to smarter context and a completely refreshed interface, this version of Astro is faster, sharper, and built to move.

🌟 New Feature: @ Handlers (Mobile-Only)

Meet @ Handlers, a new way to work with Astro, built exclusively for mobile. Astro can type @ to activate intelligent shortcuts, tools, and enhancements within the conversation.

This is the first feature designed specifically for mobile use, and it opens the door to even more powerful in-message tools coming soon.

More handler features are already planned for v1.4.0 - stay tuned.

✨ What’s New in v1.3.0

Here’s everything that’s included in this release:

  • @ Handlers: A new message-first system for tools and actions, only on mobile
  • UI Refresh: Large portions of the app have been visually reworked for smoother, faster interaction
  • New Image Generation Tech: Faster processing, cleaner outputs, and better conversation integration
  • Enhanced Context Awareness: Astro is now smarter about recent messages and flow
  • Full Markdown Support: Powered by flutter_markdown, Astro now renders styled text, lists, headers, and more

🛠 Under the Hood

  • Added flutter_markdown and markdown dependencies
  • Improved session context for mobile threads
  • Continued prep for upcoming feature support in 1.4.0+

🔜 What’s Next?

Astro Mobile v1.4.0 is already on the way - and it will expand the @ Handler system even further, unlocking new mobile-only capabilities and deeper customization.
