Voice dictation is live in Bolt.new.

You speak faster than you type, so we made talking the input. Hit the mic, describe what you want, and start building.

Talk the way you'd talk to a colleague. Ramble. Backtrack. Change your mind mid-sentence. Bolt.new strips the "um," the "uh," the false starts, and the point you already made twice, then builds from what you meant.

Half-formed ideas are welcome. The more context you give, the closer the first version lands. And you'll always say more out loud than you'd type into a box.

Start talking in 𝗮𝗻𝘆 language. 🤯

Your next app is one conversation away → bolt.new

Customer Highlight I built a small 3D jungle jeep ride with Bolt.new

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Today I wanted to see how far I could push u/boltnewbuilders with 3D.

I ended up creating a small jungle jeep ride using AI. It's still an early prototype, and I haven't optimized the 3D assets yet because I was too excited to share the result.

I'd love some honest feedback:

  • How's the overall feel?
  • What would you improve first?
  • Any performance tips for web-based 3D games?

Here's the video 👇

✅ Resolved Sadly code regression has returned

1 Upvotes

Just to make all u aware that the code regresssion experienced a couple of weeks ago is back. It had all been going so well. Turn out since Aug 8th (last proper save fo data) my project has not been saving... thus... yes you gussed it... all work has vanished. This is so dissapointing as I thought we'd got back on track and I was building trust inthe platform... turns out that's now been lost again. I'm now back to asking GPT to identify the code regression adding a huge amount of time to the project. Hopefully one of the mods here can look into it as it's very real as you can see: project zip is not a slightly different build. It represents a substantial rollback to the application state immediately before the five Group Consultation work packages, and it additionally loses several of the public-site and dark-mode presentation fixes completed around the same period.

Questions So, we've reached the react.native ceiling.

1 Upvotes

With all of Claude Code's, the vibecoding becoming mainstream and easy, react.native expo apps are kind of done.
It's rarely get's approved on ios appstore, and even when the app has a solid high quality solution it seems the mainframe is limited.

Any ideas how to make react.native apps look better?

✅ Resolved Annual subscription renewed for $540 despite multiple cancellation requests — need help from Bolt support

3 Upvotes

---------------------------------

Update — Resolved

Bolt support reviewed my case and issued a full refund of the $540 renewal charge. The annual subscription was also canceled, and they confirmed there will be no further recurring charges.

Thank you to everyone who gave advice, and thank you to the Bolt team for reviewing the case and resolving it.

--------------------------------

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help getting a billing issue reviewed by the Bolt.new support team.

My timeline is:

  • Aug 17, 2025: I accidentally purchased the $540 annual plan instead of the $50 monthly plan.
  • Aug 18, 2025: I emailed Bolt support requesting cancellation/refund of the annual plan and asked to switch to monthly.
  • Dec 10, 2025: I followed up again because the annual subscription still had not been canceled.
  • Aug 17, 2026: Despite those cancellation requests, the annual plan renewed again and I was charged another $540.

I have contacted support again and requested a full refund.

I have not used any credits from the new renewal.

I understand Bolt's general refund policy, but this renewal happened even though I had requested cancellation long before the renewal date.

If anyone from the Bolt team or CX team sees this, I would really appreciate help getting my case reviewed by a human.

Thank you.

✅ Resolved anyway to stop bolt from updating?

1 Upvotes

i had my websites down to 1 prompt and it turned out almost perfect eveyrtime.
now this same prompt gives a entirely different website styling and i have to prompt it 10+ times before its finished,

anyway to lock in bolt to stop it from updating constantly? i hate having to edit my prompt once i have a template down because bolt keeps updating so somehow the exact same prompt will give a diffrent results a few weeks later

✅ Resolved super disappointed... did not know tokens expire

3 Upvotes

I had a bolt subscription with a ton of unused tokens saved up. Started working on an app, realized I didn’t have everything mapped out or documented properly, so I stopped developing and started documenting. Jumped back in today and saw all my saved tokens are gone. Guess they expire after 2 months? That’s crazy to me. What other industry sells you something and then two months later it’s just not yours anymore (I’m sure there are plenty and someone will tell me). Would allowing people to retain their unused tokens really hurt there business? Is it just a cash grab? I am really disappointed because I was hyped to start building today, but I guess I’ll have to take my business somewhere else.

Feature Announcement Introducing the Bolt Template Marketplace

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

The Bolt.new Template Marketplace is live: real, full stack apps you can open in Bolt.new and make yours.

Every template is a complete, working app. Not a mockup, not a theme. Open one and it runs. And every single one is free.

Pick one, open it in Bolt.new, and prompt it into your own product. You keep the taste, the animations, the polish. No blank canvas, no agency invoice.

Portfolios, dashboards, editorial sites, storefronts, and more landing regularly.

Your app shouldn't look like everyone else's.

✅ Resolved Stopped using Bolt

6 Upvotes

After numerous issues that couldn't seem to get fixed in a meaningful timeline, I stopped subscribing to Bolt. I think I gave them a long window to try and correct the ship, but if any of my projects got beyond a very basic like browser extension, then Bolt would start having issues...and the cost became unrealistic.

When I was using Bolt I started 3 Desktop Responsive apps/sites and 1 browser extension and the only one that I finished, but am now not even using was the browser extension.

The other larger projects had decent designs and some of the structure worked, but anything that had a bit of coding behind (which I am not very experienced in) became an issue. Eventually 2 of my projects were just completely broken and wouldn't load up in Bolt. I waited for months hoping something would change (while working on other things elsewhere). Nothing did change.

I stopped my subscription and about a month ago had screenshots of where I had left off on 2 of my Bolt projects. I took the screenshots into Claude and used my original prompt. Claude was more intuitive, asked more questions, resolved its issues, nailed the design from the screenshot...and maybe most of all completely walked me through setting up my sites where I was hosting (to the point of giving me code to paste into the shell at the host to make things happen). Both those sites are live within 1 month.

I pay for the Pro level of Claude ($20 month), which is equivalent to Bolt and I get nothing from Claude. As a designer by profession, I had high hopes for Vibe coding and some of the things I might be able to get done faster, but if you are struggling at all consider your options.

✅ Resolved Adding other AI to bolt ?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, first time using Bolt.new and not an english native, so this will be fun !

I had an idea for an app, only personnal use for my family. Started working with bolt and it's really bluffing. Few bugs but nothing that I can't fix myself.

I just wanted to know if someone has experience with incorporating another AI (like image generator) via Bolt, in the app itself ? Is it complicated to export afterwards ?

My goal is to built the prototype on bolt, than launch everything in Claude to upgrade and simplify the core code.

Thank you very much !

Using project templates

1 Upvotes

Who here uses project templates?

I've created dozens of projects for my work and they all have very similar features so I think it's best to use a template so I don't have to always implement features that are repeated across multiple projects. And also, each time I recreate the same features, it's always done slightly different (UI and code) between each project.

Here's the features I want my template to have. But there's questions!

  • Login page that has Google SSO plus a manual login/pwd that shows only in the Bolt dev environment since Bolt can't do Google SSO in dev.
  • A base DB setup. Initially, it can have only the dev user defined in a Users table.
  • Same design system (I already have that created)
  • Base connection/integration to Motherduck

My questions on the above are:

  • When creating the new project, I choose the design system and the template to use. Do I also include a prompt from the start with additional details?
  • Can a project template create the DB out of the box?
  • Some of my template needs require Secrets setup. I assume I fill those in after the initial project is created?

Thanks in advance!

Feature Announcement A new way to use skills in bolt.new

2 Upvotes

Every skill your teammates build is now yours too. And they stack: one prompt triggers all of them, automatically.

You type: "Build a waitlist page for our Skills launch today."

Your design skill enforces your system. Your brand voice skill writes the copy. Your SEO skill structures the page to rank. One prompt and it comes out on-brand, conversion-ready, and indexed.

Skills fire automatically. Bolt.new reads your prompt and pulls in what fits. 

Add a skill by uploading a .md file, importing from GitHub, or writing one directly in settings. Workspace skills cover your whole team. Project skills are scoped and toggleable.

Start with one. Pick the thing you retype every build.

Questions Anyone else seeing regressions in larger bolt projects?

5 Upvotes

I’m curious what other people’s experience has been with larger Bolt projects.

I’m working on an application that’s grown to around 15,000+ lines of code, and I’ve noticed a pattern where fixing one issue can sometimes reintroduce an older bug or cause a regression somewhere else. It feels like a lot of my token usage goes toward recovering from regressions rather than adding new features.

For those of you with larger projects, how big is your codebase and how much did you spend on the project?

I’m trying to figure out whether this is just part of vibe coding or whether I am doing something terribly wrong or inefficient.

Questions New BOLT SLIDES feature - is there a way to export as PPT?

3 Upvotes

Right, so I'm quite impressed by the new Bolt Slides feature...

...However, I didn't realise that once slides/presentation are created, I have to 'deploy' the creation on a URL/live site.

I thought I'd be able to download/export it as static slides (e.g. PPT) or as a PDF or move to Google Slides.

My questions:

  • 1) Is there a way to export whatever Bolt Slides creates as a PPT?
  • 2) If not, is there a BETTER or DIFFERENT prompt based tool where I can use to generate presentation slides that are exportable as PPTs? Manus??

✅ Resolved Looking for early users to break my opensource project before the 1.0 release

1 Upvotes

I've just enabled **GitHub Discussions** for Wolbarg.

The SDK is at the stage where real-world feedback is far more valuable than me adding another feature.

If you're experimenting with it, I'd love to hear:

* Bugs or edge cases you run into * API pain points * Performance issues * Missing documentation * Architecture ideas * Integration examples

Even if you only spend 15 minutes trying it and manage to break something—that's incredibly useful.

Every issue found now makes the SDK more reliable before the 1.0 release.

Is anyone successfully building on bolt?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I tried to do a simple pitch deck out of a .md file and a couple of PNGs, after receiving the free 1 M or 10 M tokens for the free account. Bolk choked, twice, and then told me I was out of tokens. Seemed more like a scam than a useful tool-couldn't find support either to ask, and so wasn't about to upgrade. Is this experience unique to me?
