Skales v12.6.1 - Order and Follow-Through

The release after the big one is where your first week of feedback lives. The provider page you can finally read, agents that take turns on one graphics card, a scheduler that owes you nothing after a night of sleep, and a dozen small wrongs made right.

Skales v12.6.1 is here, bringing a host of improvements based on your feedback. We've focused on making Skales more organised, reliable, and flexible for your daily tasks.

A Clearer View of Your Providers

The new provider page presents each AI model as a clear tile. You can see at a glance what each provider can do, with badges for voice, vision, and media capabilities. Switching providers on and off is now simpler, and custom endpoints are integrated seamlessly. Advanced routing settings are now neatly tucked away within each provider's card or a dedicated section.

Agents Working Together Smoothly

Running multiple agents locally is now more efficient. Agents can take turns processing tasks, especially on graphics cards, preventing conflicts. You also have more control over how long models stay loaded, with new settings for Ollama that let you decide when to unload them.

Enhanced Scheduling and Reliability

Your scheduled tasks will now run even if your computer goes to sleep. Missed runs are caught up on wake, and timers are more accurate, no longer silently drifting if the system freezes. We've also added a headless start option for machines without a screen.

More Ways to Connect and Organise

Skales now supports connecting to your own Qdrant and ChromaDB vector databases for retrieval. You can also use Skales with a single Telegram bot across multiple chats, directing answers to specific conversations.

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.
