What is Juuno?
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
What is Swello?
Swello's comment and DM inbox is in beta as content marketing fills the feed.
Swello is a French social media scheduling tool whose changelog mixes product releases with marketing. The newest entry announces its 2027 Social Media Calendar of more than 450 dates in PDF, .ics and print, after a podcast episode and a webinar replay earlier in October. The last product release added 3:4 Instagram posts and CSV export of posts, and confirmed the comment and DM inbox is in beta.

The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
◆ Current state
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.
Swello
5.0MARKETING
Swello's comment and DM inbox is in beta as content marketing fills the feed.
◆ Current state
Swello is a French social media scheduling tool whose changelog mixes product releases with marketing. The newest entry announces its 2027 Social Media Calendar of more than 450 dates in PDF, .ics and print, after a podcast episode and a webinar replay earlier in October. The last product release added 3:4 Instagram posts and CSV export of posts, and confirmed the comment and DM inbox is in beta.
◆ Where it's heading
Swello is building toward team and agency workflows: post approval, then comments on drafts, then CSV export for reporting, with some features reserved for the Large plan. The unified inbox in beta moves it from publishing into engagement management, while the changelog doubles as a channel for its podcast, webinars and guides.
◆ Prediction
The likeliest next release is the inbox leaving beta. The AI features mentioned in September have not shipped, and the entries give no timing for them.
