What's New in Skales

2.9.26

September 7, 2026

Skales opens the screen instead of telling you where it is. Ask to be shown something and the app goes there: the Studio, the Cockpit, a team, a document, an older conversation. It only moves for a turn you started yourself; a job running in the background or a turn handed over from your computer names the place instead of pulling the screen out from under you. Four more places the conversation can reach. The Discover feed can be read and searched by author or by word, and a thread says how far back it looked. Your own widgets can be listed and read without being run. A group discussion can be started from the chat, behind the usual permission. And a team run can be asked what it is doing. Every chat says what your provider charged for it. A pill beside the context meter carries the running total for the conversation, and each answer keeps its own figure. The provider's own report comes first; where a provider reports tokens but no figure, the same published list your computer uses fills it in; and where neither exists the number is a floor with a question mark rather than one you might plan against. Tapping the pill opens a sheet with the session total, the ceiling you set, how many calls there were, and how much of the input came back out of the provider's cache. With a session ceiling set the pill turns amber at half and red at the ceiling, so the warning arrives before the stop does. The same total is named on that session's Analyze page. The ceiling of your computer reaches the phone. When a conversation on the computer hits the limit you set there, the question arrives here with its three answers - carry on, switch to a smaller model, or stop - and answering it costs nothing. The phone keeps its own ceiling under Settings > Advanced > Session budget. Work a provider interrupted comes back. If a turn dies because the provider fell over or hit its limit, the unfinished part is offered back with one tap, carrying what was already planned. Errors that would only fail again in the same place - a bad key, a message too large, a model that does not exist - are deliberately not offered. "Not now" stays answered after a restart. The plan belongs to the conversation it was interrupted in. The chat can look up your plugins and the state of the app it is in: what diagnostics say, what is running, what is parked, whether background work is allowed. Studio is six kinds again: Visuals, Image, Video, Animate, Music, Voice. Design, Scenes and Space have left the composer, because Flow already does all three and does them better. Everything you ever made with them stays in your feed - it still opens, plays, copies, exports, and can be run again or deleted. Only the way to start a new one is gone, and it is one screen over. Opening the app no longer starts a conversation. It begins with the first thing you send, as it does on your computer. Organization is back in the menu. Only Skales Local is called Beta now. Sharing a rendered clip to Discover starts with an empty caption. One language rule instead of two: a language you chose wins, otherwise your last message leads. A goal running on the phone stops and asks instead of spending its whole allowance, and a goal that stops on your computer now asks here too. Every picked voice is stored as its engine plus its own id. Fixed: a reply that failed names what failed instead of the same three words every time. A question in your language is answered in your language, read from the phone itself. A Studio visual keeps the background it was written with, an animated visual keeps animating, and every Animate card shows its film in the format you picked. Stop reaches a run on your computer. A model that sends several tool calls at once has them all run. A run on the phone keeps going when you leave the screen, and where the system stops it the card says so. A plan belongs to the conversation that wrote it. The menu shows the version you actually installed. Speech through OpenRouter plays.

User reviews

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.

5+

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.
