Skales v11.3.6 - Recovery & Chat ⌨️

Chat now codes like a proper editor: inline colored diffs, a project map so the agent finds the right file, and a Chat/Code/Plan/Auto switch right on the start screen. Reminders got dependable too, a missed one catches up the next time you open Skales.

We've just released Skales v11.3.6, bringing a number of improvements to how your AI agent handles reminders, schedules, and general chat interactions. Our focus with this update has been on making Skales more reliable and easier to use, especially when things don't go exactly to plan.

Missed Reminders Now Catch Up

You can now be sure that a reminder set for a moment the app was closed won't be lost. It will appear the next time you open Skales, marked as overdue. Reminders that are too old to be relevant will be cleared automatically.

Schedules Are More Forgiving

Recurring reminders no longer rely on the app being open at the exact scheduled minute. They will now arrive on the first check at or after their time, meaning a closed lid or a busy moment won't cause you to miss an entire day's reminder.

Clearer Schedule Logging

If a scheduled task is held back because the Always-On Agent or Autonomous Mode are off, the Schedule log will now clearly state this, rather than appearing empty.

Improved Chat Stability

A stuck approval card, which could previously freeze the chat, will now clear itself on the next app start. Buttons will also function correctly again on reopened approval cards.

Task Reporting in Chat

Background tasks, such as reminders or recurring jobs, will now deliver their full results directly into your chat. This means you'll receive reports even without connected messaging apps, and you can turn this feature off in Notifications if preferred.

Smarter Model Tool Usage

Skales now better handles how different AI models interact with tools. Stronger models will have access to their full range of capabilities, while smaller models will retain essential tools. The agent is also more adept at recognising intended tools even with slight variations in naming or typos, ensuring more tasks are completed successfully.

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.
