What's New at Epochal — June 2026
A new sidebar layout, daily check-in credits, the AI Product Video Generator tool, and a faster blog reading experience. Here is everything we shipped this month.
June was a big month at Epochal. We redesigned the entire site layout, launched a daily check-in system that gives you free credits, shipped a new AI Product Video Generator tool, and rebuilt the blog reading experience from scratch.
Here is everything that changed.
New sidebar layout
The old top navigation bar is gone. We replaced it with a left sidebar that groups tools and models by category, and a top bar that puts your check-in, credits, and account one click away.
What this means for you:
- Faster navigation. All tools and models are in a collapsible sidebar, organized by Image, Video, and Audio.
- Less scrolling. The top bar keeps check-in, credit balance, and your profile visible at all times.
- Better on mobile. The sidebar collapses into a slide-out drawer with a hamburger trigger.
Daily check-in with free credits
You can now claim free credits every day. Here is how it works:
- Click the gift icon in the top bar.
- Claim your daily reward (15 credits on day 1, up to 50 on day 7).
- Come back the next day to keep your streak. Miss a day and your streak resets to 1.
New users who register get day 1 credits automatically. No extra steps.
The reward schedule is:
| Day | Credits |
|---|---|
| 1 | 15 (enough for one short video clip) |
| 2-3 | 3 each |
| 4 | 6 (2x) |
| 5-6 | 3 each |
| 7 | 9 (3x) |
Credits from check-in expire after 30 days.
AI Product Video Generator
We launched a new tool: the AI Product Video Generator.
This tool takes a product photo or a text description and creates a cinematic 5 to 15 second product video with native audio. It is built for e-commerce listings, product ads, social clips, and launch teasers.
Key details:
- Upload 1 to 4 product photos as visual references
- Choose from 16:9 (product pages) or 9:16 (TikTok, Reels)
- Videos include automatically generated native audio
- Max duration is 15 seconds per clip
- Credits cost is shown before you generate
You can try it directly from the sidebar under AI Tools, or read our step-by-step guide to get started.
Credit system improvements
We simplified how credits work:
- Registration no longer gives a separate credit bonus. Instead, new users start with day 1 of the check-in cycle (15 credits). This means you can generate one short video right after signing up.
- Pricing cards now show realistic video estimates. The displayed "videos per month" is based on the most affordable video model (15 credits per clip), so you know exactly what each plan gets you.
- Streak reset is strict. Missing a day resets your check-in streak to 1. This rewards consistent daily use.
Blog reading experience
We rebuilt the blog from the ground up:
- Table of contents with scroll tracking. The right sidebar now highlights the section you are reading in real time. Click any heading to jump to it.
- One-click code copy. Code blocks now have a copy button in the top-right corner. Hover to reveal it.
- Better typography. Heading spacing varies by level so the article does not feel like a wall of text. Body text uses a readable font size with generous line height.
- Structured data. Blog articles now include BlogPosting schema markup, which helps Google display better titles and dates in search results.
Try what is new
If you have not checked in today, click the gift icon in the sidebar to claim your daily credits, then try the AI Product Video Generator. Or explore the sidebar to find a tool you have not tried yet.
We publish product updates alongside guides and comparisons. Follow our blog to stay in the loop.
