The new skales.app - and why the website finally caught up with the app

Skales shipped 40+ releases while its website stayed a one-pager. Here is the new multi-page skales.app - honest comparisons, a models hub, this blog, and a Buddy that answers questions right on the site.

Skales the app moves fast - v11.3.2 shipped this very week. Skales the website did not: it was a single long page, frozen somewhere around v10.4, with no room for the things people actually ask about.

That changes today.

What's new on the site

The Buddy lives here now

The little gecko in the corner of every page is not a decoration - it is a working preview of the Desktop Buddy, the most-used feature of the app. Ask it anything about Skales. In the desktop app, the same Buddy executes real multi-step tasks with approve/decline buttons in its speech bubble.

A site that updates itself

The deeper change is invisible: when a new Skales release ships, the website's backend reads the changelog, refreshes the "What's new" cards on the homepage and drafts the release post for this blog on its own. The app got autonomous in v11 - the website just followed.

If anything looks off, tell us: request@skales.app. And if you are new here - the download takes 30 seconds.

New here? Skales is the private AI agent you install like an app - free for personal use, any model, everything stays on your machine.

More from the blog

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.
