Managed Compute (May–June 2026)
Released: May–June 2026
This is the Managed Compute era. GoFigr goes beyond tracking your figures to running the code that makes them: launch a cloud machine and work in browser-based Jupyter, code-server, or R Server with the GoFigr client already installed and signed in. The v3.x series builds that out with self-service billing, usage allowances, storage billing, and semantic search.
☁️ Managed Compute
Launch a cloud machine in a couple of clicks and start working — no setup, nothing to install.
Key capabilities:
Browser-based editors — JupyterLab, code-server, and R Server, all on the same persistent files
Machine types (tiers) — five named tiers from Micro to Performance XL, with live pricing shown before you launch
Lifecycle controls — start, stop, restart, rename, and change machine type
Idle auto-shutdown — instances stop themselves when idle so you don't pay for a machine you forgot about, with an in-page warning before they do
Soft delete with restore — a deleted instance can be restored within a recovery window before its data volume is removed
Live status and event log — per-instance status, activity, and a full event history

💳 Self-Service Billing
GoFigr now has end-to-end billing you manage yourself.
What's new:
Stripe Checkout and customer portal — subscribe, update payment details, and view invoices
Plan switching — move between plans, with a graceful downgrade to Free and promo-code support at checkout
Subscription status — an organization subscription card, plus banners for canceled and past-due subscriptions
📊 Compute Allowances, Overages & Usage
Compute and storage are metered against your plan's included allowance.
What's new:
Included allowance — a monthly compute allowance enforced at launch and start
Overages — opt in to bill usage beyond the allowance at standard rates, or keep it as a hard cap on compute
Per-GB storage billing for compute data volumes
Usage visibility — Compute Usage cards on workspace and organization views, a per-instance billable-usage breakdown of compute and storage intervals, and per-period billing statements
🔎 Semantic Search
Search figures by meaning, not just keywords.
What's new:
Semantic Search mode powered by multimodal embeddings
Search indexes figure code, AI descriptions, and names; keyword results show highlighted match context
More accurate matching on matplotlib figures, where label text is reconstructed from the figure's vector glyphs
🔔 Notifications
A new in-app notification inbox (the bell) surfaces:
Compute events — instance ready, idle, error, and reboot
Billing events — payment failed and subscription canceled
Additional Improvements
R Server added as a third compute editor in v3.5.0, alongside Jupyter and code-server
Cost estimate and ETA in the launch modal, plus a cold-launch progress stepper
User-triggered reboot to apply staged OS security updates
Workspace and organization admins can operate and terminate instances they didn't launch
Email-verification banner for new sign-ups
