Skales v12.5.76 - Two Corrections

Two corrections to yesterday and this morning. A light window stays light when you have picked your own colours, and connecting a Google Calendar works again on an account made after 2022.

Hello everyone,

We've just released Skales v12.5.76, a small update focused on making your experience a bit smoother.

Light Mode and Custom Colours

If you've chosen your own accent colours for Skales, you might have noticed that switching to light mode sometimes left the background dark. This has now been corrected. When you select light mode, the window will correctly adopt a light background, ensuring your text remains readable. If you're on the previous version and see this, a quick reset to default colours in Settings will fix it immediately.

Google Calendar Connection

We've also addressed an issue with connecting Google Calendar for accounts created after 2022. Google changed how they handle authentication for newer accounts, which prevented some connections from completing. Skales now uses a slightly different approach that works with these newer accounts, allowing you to connect your calendar without any issues. The steps in Settings remain the same.

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.
