Skales v12.5.5 - Nothing You Made Is Gone

Flow got a lot bigger in 12.5.5. 🦎 A deck now leaves as PowerPoint with real text boxes your client can retype, a document as Word with headings and tables intact, and a course as SCORM for Moodle and other LMS. Or take the whole project as one ZIP and hand it to someone else. Motion learned techniques, not just palettes. Fourteen of them, papercut, pixel, particles, whiteboard, kinetic type, sketch, ASCII, isometric, blueprint, neon, comic, origami, silhouette and motion graphics, plus stop motion, glitch and film grain stacked on any of them. Each brings the drawing it needs, so pixel art is really drawn on a pixel grid. And every finished render is now read back frame by frame, so a clip that freezes or a stretch that comes out black is caught in the file, with the exact second it happens.

We've just released Skales v12.5.5, and it brings some thoughtful improvements to how you work with your AI agent. Our focus has been on making your past work more accessible and giving you finer control over your projects.

Keep Your Work, Always

You can now revisit previous versions of your AI's output. Whether you regenerated an answer or made changes in a Flow project, the prior state is saved. This means you can easily step back to an earlier point and explore different directions without losing what you've already created.

Tidy Up Your Projects

Flow projects can now be archived or deleted. If a project didn't go as planned or was just a test, you can remove it from your main view without permanently erasing it. Deleted projects are moved to a trash folder, allowing for recovery if needed.

More Control Over Motion Styles

When creating animations, you now have a dedicated "Style" setting. This offers fourteen distinct techniques, from papercut to kinetic type, and three effects like stop motion or film grain. Each style is rendered authentically, so pixel art is truly pixelated and particle systems behave as expected.

Better Error Reporting

When something goes wrong, Skales will now provide clearer details about the crash directly on the page. This makes it easier to understand what happened and where the issue occurred, with a simple copy button for the error report.

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.
