🚀 AnyDB Major UI (Object Based) Update - Jan 25, 2026

UI Update Now Live: Object-Based View

We have released a foundational UI update to AnyDB in Production.

What changed

You work in AnyDB in an Object-Based View by default inside each Workspace (previously called Databases)

  • Templates are now called Types
    Types define object structure. Records are instances of those Types.

  • The Object-Based View shows all Types upfront
    You can create new Types here and hide Types you do not want visible.

  • Records are created only after a Type exists
    This makes the object model clear.

Still available: Structure View

The previous tree structure view is still available.

  • Click the […] menu next to the workspace
  • Select View Structure

This shows records laid out as a hierarchy, similar to the earlier experience.

Why we made this change

This update is based on repeated feedback from customers who found the previous flow unclear as systems grew.

The Object-Based View:

  • Scales better for real operational systems
  • Makes structure explicit
  • Reduces confusion on how best to organize records

This is a foundational change to how AnyDB is understood and used.

Known items

There are still several open issues reported by customers. Now that this update is live, we are continuing work on those items and improving your experience.

Feedback

If something feels unclear or harder than before, please post feedback in the forum or reach out directly. This update is intended to simplify how AnyDB works at scale, and we will continue refining it based on real usage.
