Skales v11.3.5 - Hide & Seek 🔍

This release is mostly about the things you don't see — the work Skales does for you in the background. It now runs reliably, every launch. And your private Briefing no longer hides in its own corner.

Hello everyone, we've just released Skales v11.3.5, a small but important update focused on making sure Skales works reliably in the background.

Background Tasks Are Back

You might have noticed that sometimes scheduled tasks, goals, or reminders would quietly stop working. We've fixed this so that all background processes now run dependably from the moment you launch Skales.

WhatsApp Check-ins Are Reliable

If you use Skales for WhatsApp check-ins, you'll be pleased to know these are now delivered on schedule. We've ensured WhatsApp is properly integrated so your messages get through.

Smoother Multitasking

We've addressed a couple of issues that could cause things to get stuck. A single long-running task won't hold up the rest of your queue anymore, and interrupted multi-agent jobs will now recover cleanly instead of leaving the chat in a frozen state.

Consistent Agent Identity

Your Skales agent should now consistently maintain its identity, tools, and safety rules, regardless of what you're doing – whether it's deep reasoning, using code mode, or working with custom agents. It won't claim to be a different AI anymore. We've also enabled the nightly memory and identity maintenance routine by default for you.

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.
