Continues to impress!
I continue to be impressed by this little app. The developer is extremely responsive and is rolling out new features faster than I can learn them.
This honestly may replace Hermes agent for me especially as I work heavily on iOS and iPad. I need to test out the MacOS version but I am just really impressed! It gives all of the flexibility of things like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent but removes a lot of the friction/ bakes in a lot of options like advanced memory systems which were a pain to set up in Hermes when I was getting started with it. While I was comfortable troubleshooting Hermes and working in the CLI, it can be hard to recommend to some of my less technical friends. Skales on the other hand is so extremely clean and user friendly that I’d easily recommend it to nearly anyone.
This app reminds me a lot of Obsidian (another great app!) in that both make it extremely easy to jump in and do the one thing it’s meant for (writing or chatting respectively) while also offering virtually no limit to how far you can extend them as you grow and get more comfortable. Keep up the great work!!!
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to write all of this. Reviews like yours are the reason I keep going. Skales is built by one person. Every feature you mentioned started as something I wanted to exist and couldn't find anywhere, so reading that the memory system, the group chats and the custom widgets land the way I hoped they would means a lot. Your point about recommending it to less technical friends is exactly the goal. Agents, tasks and tools should not require a terminal and a weekend of setup before they become useful. That is the whole reason this app exists. And yes, there is a lot more coming. Thank you again! Mario 🦎
Constant Crashes
Response from developer
Update: the crash you hit is fixed. 2.9.15 addressed the iOS 26 case. If it runs clean for you now, I would appreciate you revisiting your rating. If you still see problems with any provider, Settings > Advanced > Logs and Diagnostics captures it and request@skales.app reaches me directly.

Thank you, that really means a lot as a solo developer! Skales Mobile started as a remote control for the Skales Desktop app. Based on what users kept asking for, we are turning it step by step into a proper standalone app, as far as the operating system allows. More local models on device are part of that path, and more is coming with every release. (You can submit your feedback in Settings > Help > Report a Bug.) Glad the setup and the docs worked for you. If anything ever feels unclear, write to request@skales.app.
Incredible Feature Set!
Response from developer
Thank you, this genuinely made my week. Skales is a solo project, so a review with this much detail in it means a lot for me. Two things are already on the way. NVIDIA is coming as a provider, which opens up a lot of strong open models. And a background runner is planned, so your agent keeps working when you close the display instead of dying with it. Custom TTS voices are noted (you will get it!), Duplex Voice Chat, and local or on-device options are exactly the direction I want to take that. Thank you for naming it, that is the kind of feedback that actually shapes the roadmap. Beyond those, my focus stays on more features, better stability, and a smoother experience throughout. Thanks again for taking the time to write all of this, I appreciate it a lot! If not already done, you can connect the app to Skales Desktop for a big boost in tool use inside chat, and so runs keep going while the phone is off. The desktop app is signed and notarized on macOS, and it ships with a migration importer.
