Micro for Desktop, CRM Migration, and a Rebuilt Sidebar

July 31, 2026

Micro runs on your Mac now, the sidebar is rebuilt, and developers get a real console.

Micro For Desktop

Micro is now a Mac app. Download it from the sidebar download menu and pick Desktop. It installs from a notarized DMG, Apple Silicon for now.

The immediate win is notifications. When an AI chat finishes or an automation completes, you get a native Mac notification. Click it and you land back on that thread. Agents that take a few minutes are a lot more useful when you don't have to sit and watch them run.

More on what's coming next in Introducing Micro for Desktop.

Move Your CRM To Micro

You can now migrate from Attio or HubSpot without rebuilding everything by hand. Go to Settings → Import & Migrate, connect your CRM, pick the lists you want, and the agent handles the rest in chat.

It maps your source fields onto Micro, creates missing properties when needed, keeps related people and companies connected, and checks the imported records before it calls the migration done. Large migrations can resume in the same thread instead of starting over.

Using Salesforce, Pipedrive, or something else? The same page has a contact option and we'll help with the move. The longer version is in Move Your CRM to Micro.

A Rebuilt Sidebar

The left nav is a narrow rail now. Clicking a section opens a second column beside it instead of shoving the rest of the app around. Chats sit at the top because that's what most people use most.

Secondary navigation got unified along the way. Lists live with records instead of in their own place. Library holds documents, artifacts, and lists. Recents, Pinned, and Threads show skeleton rows while they load instead of flashing an empty state.

The rest of the app now lines up with it. Titles and tabs share the same rhythm across Inbox, CRM apps, People, Companies, Tasks, Documents, Automations, and Marketplace. Object pages are a consistent width. Creating things moved into the New menu in the left nav.

The icons also animate on hover. The awning lifts off the store, a letter rises out of the inbox, typing dots pop into Messages. Turn on reduced motion and they hold still.

Faster Chat And New Models

Pro now runs on Claude Opus 5, and so does the coding agent by default. Kimi K3 and Grok 4.5 are in the model picker too.

Chat starts responding sooner, and the stalling indicator stops showing up when nothing is actually stalled. If the connection drops mid-answer, Micro reattaches silently and keeps the response going instead of leaving you with half a message.

When a model provider is having a bad day, the picker says so. You can also pick which model each subagent uses in Agent settings.

The Developer Console

There's a developer console in the app now. API keys, usage, webhooks, your data model, connected integrations, and billing all live there instead of being buried in settings.

This is the front door for Micro Blocks, the platform underneath Micro. If you want the longer version of why we built it, that's in Introducing Micro Blocks.

The developer API picked up a few things too. You can list saved views, imports can create select options they haven't seen before instead of failing, and reads return readable values instead of raw ids.

Micro For iPhone

Two releases since the last update.

Contact and company profiles got a real upgrade. Edit the summary, about, and detail fields inline, or let AI fill them in, plus new Meetings, Files, and Links sections. You can comment on activity from a profile, see which teammates are connected to a contact, and delete or block someone without leaving the page.

Email got faster and fuller. Compose new mail with Gmail-style To, Cc, and Bcc and recipient autocomplete. Browse your Gmail folders and labels. Marking a thread done jumps you to the next one. Email notifications show the sender's photo and open the thread instantly, even from a cold start.

AI drafts stream in as they're written, chat opens with a quick answer while the full reply is prepared, and chat history now shows every conversation including automation runs, in the right order.
