Hey HN, I'm Mario from Vienna. I’m the designated "IT guy" for my family (the guy they call to plug in a Scart cable or to setup Chrome). A few weeks ago, I spent over two hours wrestling with Docker (and some for my at this time unknown Terminal commands) just to get a CLI-based AI agent running.

Latest Release Notes (v2.9.35)

A short "hi" used to carry every tool Skales has. A greeting now goes out with no tools at all, and every other turn carries a small core with the rest one step away, loaded the moment the model needs it - an ordinary turn costs about half of what it did. An idle Skales barely touches the phone, and a long reply no longer slows the rest of the app while it arrives. A run that only repeats itself stops and says so. A reminder can be cancelled, and the effort dial stays where you left it.

Skales is an AI agent that does the work, not just the talking. Give it a job and it plans the steps, uses real tools - calendar, tasks, web, files, contacts - and delivers a finished result, asking your permission before anything happens. It runs on the AI of your choice, pairs with your computer, and keeps everything it knows about you on your device. WHAT AN AGENT DOES THAT A CHATBOT CANNOT - "Plan my Friday" becomes a structured schedule in your real calendar. - "Research this and write me a briefing" becomes cited sources and a document. - "Open a ticket and tell me what they answer" becomes an API call, made with your approval, with the reply shown to you. - Multi-step work runs through: the agent chains tools, shows every step, and finishes - it does not stop at a wall of text. EVERY MAJOR AI, ONE APP Start free with Skales IQ - just your email, no API key, no card. Or bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek and OpenRouter. Chat with Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral or DeepSeek, pick the reasoning depth per conversation, and switch models anytime without losing your session. AUTOMATION WITH A HARNESS Skales is built as an agent harness: tools, memory, skills and permissions working together. A curated skill library ships with the app - from disciplined bug diagnosis to research with cited sources - and the agent reaches for the right skill on its own. Every action that touches the outside world asks first. Every capability can be switched off. MEMORY THAT GROWS Teach Skales what matters. It remembers context across conversations and adapts to you - stored on your device, fully under your control, with three levels from full memory to none. AI STUDIO AND VOICE Generate images and video, design social posts and quote cards from ready templates, and share them to the community feed. Talk to Skales and hear it answer with natural text-to-speech. YOUR COMPUTER, FROM YOUR POCKET Pair with the free Skales desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux and reach your computer's AI, sessions, files and tools from your phone. Or control the phone from any browser on your network through the built-in web interface. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE, NOT BY PROMISE Your chats and memory stay on your device by default. With your own key, requests go straight from your phone to the provider you chose - Skales runs no servers in between. No advertising IDs, no third-party analytics, no data sold. Ever. Optional online features are clearly marked and off by default. And when you want zero cloud: Skales Local (beta) downloads an openly licensed model that answers directly on the device - no key, no connection, even in airplane mode. Or connect your own Ollama server on your WiFi and chats never leave your network. BUILT FOR EVERYONE From homework to client work to a first email - useful without being intimidating. No Docker, no terminal, no setup, no subscription. 12 languages. FREE KEYS TO START (BYOK) OpenRouter (free starter credit), Google AI Studio (generous free tier), Groq (fast free tier). OPEN BY DESIGN Source-available under BSL 1.1: inspect the code, verify what it does, trust what runs on your device. Questions or bugs: request@skales.app - more at skales.app. Skales Mobile is part of one ecosystem with Skales Desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux.

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Editorial)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #faf8f2;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #191912;
  --muted-foreground: #77766d;
  --accent: #84cc16;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Switzer", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Switzer", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FAF8F2 (~80%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~7%) · Text #191912 (~6%) · Muted Text #77766D (~4%) · Accent #84CC16 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
