Skales v12.9.32 - what's new

The coding window can now be given an objective and told to keep at it until a check says it is done, with its state kept in the session so a restart picks the run back up, and the review of one attempt fed into the next. Around that, the surfaces settle into shape: the Code window takes its colours from the theme you picked and keeps its own shape, its panels survive a reload, the browser sits beside the transcript as a panel that shows the run's own pictures, and Iris wears the theme too. A sub-agent that reads your code is told it is yours, every typeface and piece of artwork Skales ships is named with its licence, and a fresh installation lands on the free built-in provider instead of one that needs a key.

Skales v12.9.32 is here, bringing a more responsive and transparent experience to your desktop AI agent. We've focused on making interactions clearer and the application itself more predictable.

Clearer Interactions

When Skales asks for your permission, a single "yes" can now apply to the entire tool or even the rest of your session, on both your computer and phone. Instead of a button that seems to have failed, you'll now see a card explaining why Skales returned to its prompt. If a browsing task hits a roadblock, it will pause and wait for your input before continuing.

Refined Code Window

The Code window now respects your chosen theme and remembers its size. The model picker scrolls smoothly at any window width, and panels now persist through reloads. The document you're reviewing takes centre stage in its column, with the browser appearing as a panel alongside the transcript to show images from the current run. Opening long conversations is now a single action, clearly indicated, and daily conversation groups can be folded away. Iris also now matches your theme.

Enhanced Control and Transparency

You can now set code loops to repeat a task until verification succeeds, with state saved across restarts and review findings carried forward. A new read-only diagnosis for the WhatsApp bridge in Settings provides clear answers about its status without exposing sensitive data. Every sub-agent role now explicitly states what model it runs on, and you can easily override this setting per role. We've also added a dedicated Licences page within the app, presenting third-party notices in a readable document format, and all typefaces and artwork are now clearly named with their licences.

Updates Sep 30, 2026 Skales v12.9.46 - Mend Small things that add up. Skales Local shows GPU only when the graphics card really does the work, and names the reason when it does not. Every local model carries its own context and GPU-layer setting. Updates Sep 29, 2026 Skales v12.9.45 - Steer Skales now brings craft with it: reviewed skill packs for motion, short-form video, frontend design, Office documents, print and brand work and persistent research load by themselves where they help, letters come out on your letter paper, a project becomes a launch video with /launch, and Godot games are built, run and recorded from Code. Every plugin page offers three modes, from doing it yourself to letting the AI do it with each release step waiting for your click, even across a restart. Long runs show every step with its cost, and a run that cannot work says so before it spends anything. Updates Sep 25, 2026 Skales v12.9.40 - Lantern We named it after what it does to the dark corners. A course used to be the thing Skales could describe but not deliver. Now it builds one, voices it, writes the subtitles from the audio, checks the package the way an LMS reads it, and publishes it into your existing Moodle activity without wiping anyone's progress. The same light reached the rest. Flow is a canvas you can pan, zoom and queue work onto, where clicking an element edits the file behind it. Chat and Code work on your own servers over SSH, write Word and PowerPoint, and put every file where you say. Long work now survives a restart instead of starting over. 132 additions, 73 fixes, listed one by one. Full changelog at the Update-Page.
