Changelog

Mimicly is an iPhone app and web editor for making fictional chat mockups and text story videos.

Only changes you can see in the app or on the site are listed, each with the date it went live. iPhone dates come from the App Store; website dates are when the change was deployed, in Türkiye time.

Updated

  1. Web

    Exporting now needs a free account

    • You can still open and edit every template without an account. To export an image or an MP4, sign in or create a free account first.
    • A free account exports free templates without the watermark, as often as you like. Pro templates export with the small Mimicly watermark until you get Pro.
    • New accounts no longer get two watermark-free exports, and leftover ones can no longer be used. Pro removes the watermark from every template.

  2. Web

    Pricing details, dark mode and export fixes

    • The pricing page lists what Pro changes: no watermark on any image or MP4 export, exports up to 3x resolution, share links and bulk variants.
    • The site follows your device’s light or dark setting until you choose one with the theme switch.
    • After saving an image as a guest, the Export window offers a free account for clean exports. Nothing is blocked if you skip it.
    • The Export window is easier to read in dark mode.
    • On phones, the home page shows the headline and buttons before the example screen.

  3. iPhone 1.1.1

    73 templates, and every template open to edit

    • Nine new templates, including a lock screen with notifications, incoming call and video call screens, and a contact card from the Phone app.
    • Hold the mic button to record a voice note in three more chat templates. Voice bubbles show a real waveform and play back.
    • Everyone can edit every template. Guests and free accounts export PNG and MP4 with the Mimicly watermark; Pro removes it.
    • Two popular texting templates moved from Pro to Free.
    • The editor preview no longer shifts up after moving between screens, and the watermark badge no longer covers the send or mic button.

  4. Web

    Edit any template and export with a watermark

    • Guests and free accounts can open and edit every template, including Pro ones, and export PNG or MP4 with a small Mimicly watermark. Pro removes it.
    • The iMessage and Instagram DM templates are free.
    • New templates for lock screen notifications, incoming calls, FaceTime, Google Messages, Hinge, Twitch, YouTube live chat and DeepSeek.

  5. iPhone 1.1.0

    Photos, voice notes and a new look

    • Take or choose a photo from the chat composer and send it as a message, with your draft as the caption.
    • Voice note bubbles in 12 chat templates, with hold to record in the WhatsApp-style chat.
    • Template previews show up right away instead of loading.
    • Redesigned home, editor, settings and first-run screens.
    • Fixes for loading prices, buying and restoring Pro.

  6. Web

    Spanish and Turkish guides

    • New guides for making text story videos, written in Spanish and in Turkish, linked to the English version.

  7. Web

    Template guides and a fix for long game chat messages

    • Guide pages for each popular template on mimicly.net/tools, each with a real render of the template’s sample scene.
    • Step-by-step guides and side-by-side comparisons with other chat story apps.
    • A plain-text summary for AI assistants at mimicly.net/llms.txt.
    • Very long messages in the Valorant and Counter-Strike 2 chat templates no longer break the preview.

  8. iPhone 1.0.4

    Redesigned home screen and 63 templates

    • A redesigned home screen with smoother navigation across 63 templates.
    • Better chat layouts, video recording and keyboard suggestions in all six app languages.
    • Fixes for navigation in Projects and Settings.

  9. iPhone 1.0

    Mimicly on the App Store
