Templates that can become a Drop
Every template now says what proves it wins, who can shoot it and how it takes a viewer to an app, and the ones the apps already pay for come first.
- Improvement
Every label shows how it was made
Still paid, Top ad, Ad, Weak ad, Rising: one scale everywhere, and every video explains why it got its label, with its own numbers.
- New featureMajor
Discover opens on your research
A new home for Discover: every niche you research as a card with what it concluded, and the latest one up top with its short answer.
- Fix
Discover on your phone, and two tabs no longer sign you out
The tabs show up on a phone again, and having DropUGC open in two tabs no longer signs you out of both.
- New feature
A report that reads like a decision
The research report now goes in the order you decide: the short answer, the apps, how fast they grow, the creatives to copy, the templates, what people say, the openings and your plan.
August 2026

You pick who counts as competition
Your Claude now reads every app the App Store search returned and says which ones are really your niche, before a single one is measured.

Your research now feeds your drops
Run a Discover pass in Claude Code and your hooks and comments start using the real hooks winning in your niche this week and the words your audience writes in the comments, at the share you choose.

The research companion tells you when it's behind, and updates in one command
@dropugc/discover 0.5.1: a daily version notice in the CLI, in Claude and in Discover, plus sli update and a sli stop that actually stops the daemon.

Upgrading mid-day unlocks a bigger drop today, not tomorrow
Move to a higher plan and every app jumps to the new daily volume right away, with a fresh drop landing the same day.
- New featureMajor
A research run now ends in a report, and closes itself
Come back from a run and the Report tab tells you which apps compete in the niche, which accounts win with what format, and what that means for your creatives.

Claude now makes every decision in a research run
Companion 0.3.0: Claude triages every search hit, probes the cheap signals first, judges each account against a rubric that evolves, and remembers what a niche rewards between runs.

Every discovered account is scored against your run objective
Account cards carry a relevance chip with a one-line reason, and a collection can be filtered down to what actually matches your objective.
- New featureMajor

Engagement comments for every hook
Every creative ships with four comments and replies written to sound like real people, ready to seed the post from your other accounts.

A partial capture from Instagram could overwrite a good snapshot with zeros; the ingest now keeps the best known value.

Faster previews, and the Companion lives in the sidebar
Media streams from media.dropugc.com with proper caching, blank filmstrip thumbnails are fixed, and the Companion gets a permanent panel in the sidebar.
- Improvement
Instagram tracking paginates properly
Post parsing moved from the extension to the server, and Instagram now walks an account's full history instead of the first page.

Playbook: RecentFollow's 350M+ view campaign
Second teardown in the series: the app's canonical formats, the scripts behind them, and the engine that kept the account posting.
