Skales v12.3.0 - Flying Gecko

Flow checks its own work before handing it to you, long conversations keep their task, the calendar tells you what is actually wrong, and Skales stops getting in its own way mid-work.

We've just released Skales v12.3.0, bringing a number of practical improvements to your desktop AI agent. Our focus remains on making Skales a reliable and helpful tool for your daily tasks, without unnecessary complexity.

Sign in and Watch the Browser

Skales can now handle website logins more smoothly. When a task requires you to be logged in, Skales will open a visible browser window for you to sign in manually. Your login details are then saved securely within Skales' browser profile for future use, meaning Skales can work within your accounts without ever needing your password. You can also choose to have Skales show you the browser window for any task, so you can see exactly what it's doing step-by-step.

Smarter Scripting and File Handling

We've improved how Skales handles scripts. It can now write multi-line scripts to files and run them directly with the correct interpreter (like Python or Node.js), which resolves many issues with special characters and quotes that previously caused scripts to fail. Additionally, Skales now keeps a backup of files before making changes. If an edit doesn't turn out as expected, you can easily restore the previous version, preventing accidental loss of your work.

Enhanced Vision and Memory

Flow, Skales' visual creation tool, now checks its own work. Before presenting a deck, prototype, or page, it takes a moment to look for common rendering problems like text running off the edge or collapsed layouts, and quietly corrects them if found. We've also made it easier to populate Skales' knowledge graph. You can now seed it with your saved long-term facts and recent chat history in one go, giving it a more comprehensive understanding of your information from the start.

More Reliable Task Completion

Long conversations will now stay on track. Skales has been updated to ensure it always remembers the original task, even in very long sessions, preventing it from getting confused by later parts of the conversation. If a task is interrupted, Skales now keeps a better record of what has already been done, so it can pick up where it left off without redoing work. When Skales encounters a persistent problem with a tool, it will now ask for your guidance rather than repeatedly trying and failing.

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.
