Managed Compute
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
Section titled “☁️ 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
Section titled “💳 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
Section titled “📊 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
Section titled “🔎 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
Section titled “🔔 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
Section titled “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
- Open-source notices page at
/licenses - Python client: new notebooks auto-enable GoFigr on compute instances (v2.3.3)
