What's New in Skales

2.9.61

November 3, 2026

A major stability release with more than 50 fixes: Skales starts lighter, long tasks keep their history thanks to correct context sizes for more models, tool results fit the model's window, and every reply that stops now says why. On top, Polish lets you see what Skales does, before and while it does it. • See the plan first: a new slide deck shows its outline and research shows its plan, both wait for your OK, then tick off each step. Research ends in a report with numbered sources. • Templates ask a few quick questions before the chat starts. New tiles: Research, Spreadsheet and Video clip. • Your computer from the phone: edit and regenerate answers in a computer chat, pick its model, talk to it by voice and choose its tools for one conversation. • Code on the phone: branch, push and pull request, files and skills in the composer, live terminal output, find and go to line, and a preview of the project's web page. • Share a chat as a PDF, a web page or a picture. • Memory you can see: a Memory off switch, and a scout's memory you can correct or forget. • Scouts stay on a task: pause a run and go on later, run the last task again, and see at once that your scout has your message. • Follow a running answer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • iPad and landscape get their own layout, and a deck can be presented full screen. • Web answers cite their sources inline, and search without a key reaches more places. • Undo and Redo in documents, follow-up suggestions under answers, and a chat that says what it is doing. And many smaller fixes across chat, Code, scouts and documents.

So confused

Sorry I keep connecting my OpenAI provider and it keeps saying error

Response from developer

Sorry for the trouble. Skales has two different OpenAI options, and they need different things: • OpenAI (API key): needs a key from platform.openai.com with prepaid API credit. A ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription does not include API access, so a key without credit is refused. • OpenAI Codex (OAuth): uses your ChatGPT subscription. Sign in, then pick one of the models listed under Browse. It needs an active paid ChatGPT plan; with an expired or free plan, the sign-in still works but every message is refused. If it still fails, open Settings › Logs and diagnostics and send us the red line to request@skales.app. Version 2.9.61 is available as well.

Continues to impress!

There is now a Claude Studio alternative ready to go in the app! It looks like there’s also group chat features for both human colleagues and just agents. You can even build custom widgets now. Memory has gotten extremely detailed too, with features like dreaming and even a Hermes-like adaptational learning system.

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

I downloaded the desktop version and I was pretty impressed. I then proceeded to download and setup the IOS 26 version and, unfortunately, I’m met with constant crashes and can’t even get a prompt in or a response from the app. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have ai providers linked and everything seems fine on paper but it doesn’t work regardless of the provider i choose. It’s unfortunate because I do plan to use it to the fullest capabilities and now my customer satisfaction has been low.

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.

Hi, good luck! I’ve started learning this kind of software with your product — it looks intuitive and simple, and all the necessary information and instructions are available. I’m completely satisfied, thank you for your work!

Response from developer

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!

Wow! One of the best and most full-featured Agentic AI apps I’ve ever used! Integrations for mail, Notion, Home Assistant, Todoist, Spotify, Google Calendar, YouTube, Wordpress, and more. Great UI. Local Gemma models in beta or BYOK with Openrouter (including TTS!), Mistral, Ollama, and basically any you want, and you can set up different models and providers for different roles. Agent teams, MCP, and skills etc all available. On device file reading and writing, API-free weather, reminders, device info, contacts, so much more. Extremely impressed and excited to see how this app improves!!! Would love to use custom TTS voices eg ones running on my Mac (or even on device like Kokoro or Kitten etc) in the future but that’s really the only thing I can think of that’s not already included. Fantastic agent harness and frontend in one!

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.
