What's New in RegExpress

7

May 30, 2026

Version 7 focuses on making RegExpress more generous, more visual, and faster to use. The free tier now lets you save up to 20 patterns, keep 50 history items, use folders and search, and start with 3 tutorial modules. RegExpress Pro now has a lower one-time price of $4.99. Several Pro tools can also be tried before upgrading, including the visual debugger, pattern optimizer, pattern constructor, visual diagrams, pattern recommendations, pattern comparison, test suites, and code generation. New visual regex diagrams turn patterns into zoomable railroad-style diagrams, with warnings and token details to help you understand complex expressions. Quick Actions are now configurable. Choose which shortcuts appear in the main toolbar, including Library, Tools, Reference, Options, Keyboard, Playground, AI Assistant, Optimize, Debug, Builder, Test Suite, Save, History, Compare, Settings, Clear, and Code. Workspace test suite generation can create test cases from the current editor, connect them to a pattern, and open the generated suite for regression testing. Theme support has been expanded with a dedicated theme picker and app-wide color updates, plus refreshed light, dark, and tinted app icons. Simplified Chinese has been added alongside English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Help tips, sheet headers, results filtering, search and replace, reference screens, pattern comparison, optimization, and tutorial/reference areas have been refreshed for clearer guidance and more consistent controls. This update also includes reliability fixes for drafts, iCloud sync, pattern history, imports, export formatting, accessibility identifiers, UI tests, performance tools, and several regex engines.

User reviews

The tutorial itself is unfinished and baffling

The app looks like it has really cool features but the text of the menus and reference material uses layouts that actually look incomplete or broken, making me doubt the reliability of every thing else, unfortunately.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry for the issues you experienced with the tutorial and layout. I am actively updating the tutorial and improving the interface so everything displays clearly and works as expected. Your comments help guide these fixes and they will be included in the next updates. If you have any specific examples or suggestions, please feel free to share them using the in app support link.
