Skales v11.3.4 - Notifications 🔔

One place to manage notification types. The same per-type switches lived twice: on the Notifications page and again under Settings as "Buddy Intelligence" checkboxes - both wrote to the same setting.

We've just released Skales v11.3.4, bringing some welcome clarity and control to how you interact with your AI agent. This update focuses on making notifications more understandable and manageable, ensuring Skales works with you, not against you.

A Single Home for Notifications

You'll find all your notification settings consolidated on the dedicated Notifications page. We've removed the duplicate "Buddy Intelligence" checkboxes from Settings, so there's now one clear place to manage what Skales alerts you to.

Notifications That Explain Themselves

Each notification type now comes with a brief explanation. You'll see what triggers the alert and where it will appear, organised into helpful categories like Tasks & Planner, Calendar, Messages & Email, Companion, and Discover.

Better Control Over Discover Feed

Mentions and trending posts from the Discover feed now have their own dedicated toggles. This means you can choose exactly what you want to see from Discover, preventing unwanted clutter in your inbox.

Smoother WhatsApp Integration

We've addressed an issue that caused the WhatsApp bot to stop running after updates. You should no longer need to manually restart the bot or re-scan the QR code. Your WhatsApp connection should now remain stable across app updates.

Download Skales

New here? Skales is the private AI agent you install like an app - free for personal use, any model, everything stays on your machine.

Updates Sep 6, 2026 Skales v12.9.26 - Grip Grip is the release where Skales stops when you say stop, and tells you what it costs before it spends. Under every reply sits the price of the session, read from the provider or from the price table, with the sub-agents' bill included; a ceiling you set in Goals stops a run before the next paid step and asks you three things - continue, take a cheaper model, or stop - in the chat, in the Code window, in Iris and on the phone. A typed "stop" is honoured before the first request leaves the machine, and a stopped run says so in its own bubble instead of pretending it finished. Credentials are locked away from the file, shell and search tools; a bulk action or a publish asks first, in every mode, and a yes never covers more than the card names. Updates Sep 4, 2026 Skales v12.9.25 - Backbone Backbone is the release where Skales got one engine. A chat you type, a task you scheduled, a job on a timer, a plugin, a webhook, a Discord message, a Telegram or WhatsApp turn and the desktop Buddy used to run on different loops with different rules; now they all run on the same one, with the same guards, the same budget and the same record of what happened. Close Skales in the middle of a run, update it, let it crash: the run comes back as an unfinished run, says how far it got, and one Continue picks it up at that step. Ask for something big and Skales can hand parts of it to sub-agents, each in its own checkout of your repository, and collect the results. Under every reply sits a context meter that names what filled the window: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your skills, your memory and the conversation itself. Updates Sep 2, 2026 Skales v12.9.21 - Cockpit 2.0 Cockpit 2.0 is named for the screen it replaces. What used to be two stacked tab bars, a second title and a row of icon chips is now one board: everything that stands, in four columns, with goals, your own tasks, Autopilot tasks and schedules as cards you can filter, drag and act on. One head, one action. The phone got the same board in 2.9.21, and a computer on an older version still fills it from what it can tell rather than showing an empty screen.
