The /metering/usage/:app handler repeated the "an app reads only its own usage" check while the service still let any app read the global bucket. The service now refuses an app actor anything but its own app, and the handler only resolves names. Status codes for app actors are unchanged; a user reading os-global gets their global usage instead of a name-lookup 404. whoami no longer sets taskbar_items to undefined for app actors, and only keys with a value count as built, so a listener can't fill one in for an app. getMonthlyUsage's JSDoc notes allowanceInfo is account-wide.

Puter.js gives you auth, cloud storage, database, AI, and more through a single JavaScript library. It is the go-to backend for AI-generated apps.
There is nothing to configure, no API keys, no infrastructure to set up, whether you write the code yourself or have your AI tool do it. Tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Lovable, and Replit can generate complete, production-ready apps in a single shot with fewer AI tokens.

Setting Custom Origins
By default puter.js uses the official Puter API and GUI origins. You can customize these origins by setting global variables before importing the SDK like so:
// For API origin
globalThis.PUTER_API_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-api.puter.com';
// For GUI origin
globalThis.PUTER_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-gui.puter.com';
import {puter} from '@heyputer/puter.js'; // or however you import it for your env
