Fuego 2.2: a command line, tree previews, and PITR on the emulator

Fuego in your terminal

Some jobs are faster to type than to click: checking one field on one document, exporting a collection before a migration, looking up a user from a support ticket, or running the same query every morning from a script. Until now each of those meant opening the app. With 2.2 there is a fuego command.

fuego doc get users/alice profile.name -p my-project
fuego query orders --where 'status == paid' --order created:desc --limit 20
fuego export users -o users.jsonl
fuego user get alice@example.com
fuego ai "how many orders were paid last week?"
fuego open users/alice

It is not a separate product with its own setup. fuego is the Fuego application started with a command instead of a double-click, so it uses the projects, credentials, license and settings you already configured in the app. There is nothing to sign in to twice, and a project marked as read-only or production in Fuego stays that way on the command line. It works with or without the desktop app open: the few commands that drive the app itself, like opening a resource in a window, start it when it isn’t running.

See inside collapsed documents

The tree view is the quickest way to look at nested data, but a list of collapsed documents used to be a list of ids. Unless your ids are meaningful, finding the right document meant expanding them one at a time.

Collapsed documents now show a preview of their contents in the Value column, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

There are four modes:

• None — the Value column stays empty, as before.
• Whole document — a compact inline object with the document’s fields.
• Selected fields — the columns of the table view, with the fields used by the query’s sort and filters first, so the preview shows what you are searching on.
• Custom template — a line of text built from the document’s fields, with optional date formats: {accountType} · {status} · {createdAt|DATE_MED} renders as user · active · Sep 9, 2026. While you type, { suggests the collection’s field names and | the date formats.

The app-wide mode lives in Settings → General → Tree view, and any collection can use its own instead: from the button in the Value column header, the Document preview button in the toolbar, or the collection’s context menu. A setting on a subcollection applies to every parent document of the same path, like users/*/messages. Anonymized values stay masked in the preview, and clicking a preview opens the document (⌘-click or a middle click opens it in a new tab).

The Name column has been reworked too. Instead of a fixed width, it now fits the keys you are looking at: it grows when you expand a node with longer or deeper field names and shrinks back when you collapse it, always leaving at least half of the table to the values. Drag the right edge of its header to set a width yourself. That width is remembered per collection, and a double click on the edge brings back the automatic width.

Your columns in the Authentication user list

The Authentication user list had a fixed set of columns. It now works like the Firestore table view:

• Columns in the toolbar opens a picker where you tick the columns to show and drag them into the order you want, with Restore default to go back.
• Drag a column header onto another one to move it.
• Right-click a header to hide or move a column, open the picker or restore the default layout.

Six new optional columns come with it: Email, Display name, Phone number, Last active, Disabled and Tokens valid after (sessions started before that date are no longer valid, for example after a revoke). The UID always stays first, and your layout applies to every project and tenant.

Point-in-time recovery on the emulator

Point-in-time recovery used to be for cloud databases only. In 2.2, projects connected to the Firestore emulator support document PITR too: open a document’s history, compare its versions, restore one, and run queries at a read time.

That makes the emulator a safe place to rehearse a restore before you ever need one on production, or to look at your data as it was a few minutes ago while you develop. Two limits come from the emulator itself. History starts when the emulator starts, so earlier versions, including those of imported data, are not available. Counts and subcollection listings always reflect the current data, which is why Open collection at this date isn’t offered on the emulator.

New AI models

The AI assistant’s model catalog is up to date, with GPT-6 (Sol and Luna), Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.7 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, among others. When a provider retires a model, Fuego now replaces it with its successor in your existing provider configurations. A default model saved months ago won’t suddenly start failing.

Fixes

• Global Search: queries saved with earlier versions of Fuego returned no results on any collection. They run again, and when a search can’t start (the query or project is gone, or another search is already running, perhaps in another window) Global Search now tells you why instead of showing “No results”.
• Comparing emulator and cloud documents: when an emulator shared its Firebase project id with a cloud project, the emulator document was read from the cloud project, and two documents with the same path were mistaken for each other in the context menu and the compare markers.
• Multiple windows: closing the main window while other windows were open ran the app’s shutdown tasks and left the remaining windows without license, update, .fuego file and background task handling. One of the remaining windows now takes over as the main one.
• Boolean values now update their color right after an edit, instead of keeping the previous value’s color until a reload.

Update now

Fuego 2.2 is available today. Download it from fuegoapp.dev or update from within the app, then install the command line tool from the Help menu and give fuego --help a try.

If something doesn’t work the way you expect, from the app or from a script, tell us at support@fuegoapp.dev.
