v11.3.2 - Re-Buddy 🦎
Your buddy does more than ever.
The Desktop Buddy is the most-loved thing in Skales - and this release hands it everything.
It is not a mascot anymore. It is your smallest coworker.
🦎 The buddy finishes real tasks now. Ask it to clean a folder, send a mail, check your day - it works step by step until the job is done, and the speech bubble shows live progress while it works. No more one-shot answers, no more silent staring.
✅ Approve and it keeps going. Confirming an action in the bubble used to end the conversation. Now the buddy continues the task right after your tap - and asks again only when the next step needs you.
🧠 It knows you. Your personality, your language, your context - the buddy finally speaks like YOUR Skales, and it keeps its own conversation thread. One click opens the full transcript in chat.
👾 Custom pixel skins - the one you asked for, twenty updates in a row. Animated pixel pets as buddy skins: three Skales originals built in, thousands more import with one paste from the Petdex gallery, and the built-in pet creator makes a brand-new one from a few clicks - or a single chat message ("make me a purple octopus buddy"). Rendered locally in seconds, no cloud, no image model. The pet reacts to your agent: it inspects while Skales thinks, waits during approvals, slumps on errors, and jumps when the task lands.
Also in this release: phone-sent tasks (WhatsApp/Telegram) get room for real multi-step work, your inbox is checked even with no window open, contact pings are back with their own switch, fresh installs see the full sidebar from the first launch, Discover got a personality transplant - and DLNA casting is retired.
Update via the in-app updater or grab the installer below.
.. and this is still just the beginning. 🦎
