About Retool
Retool bends its app builder toward AI and external deployment atop the 4.0 self-hosted base
Retool is shipping on two fronts at once: stabilizing the self-hosted 4.0 line (RBAC database migration, stable patches, upgrade FAQs) and steadily modernizing the new app builder. Recent releases add production-grade controls like custom domains and customizable Content Security Policy, alongside AI-adjacent workflow features such as restoring app state from the Chat tab. The classic-to-new-builder migration path keeps widening, now covering custom components and organization-level themes.
