Overview

Skales is a desktop AI agent for Windows, macOS and Linux that installs like a normal app, with no terminal or Docker. You give it a question or a goal; it can work with your files, browser, calendar and email, make slides and documents, and keep going in the background on longer tasks. It starts on a free built-in trial that needs no API key, then works with your own key from many model providers or with local models. It is free for private and educational use and is aimed at people who are not developers.

It packs agent features that usually need a terminal into a double-click installer, with a phone app that can pair to the desktop.

Good to know

You want an assistant on your own computer that can do multi-step work such as sorting files, drafting from your email or planning your week. Skales runs those tasks from a chat, and a /goal request keeps working in the background until it is done or needs a decision.

Limits

  • It can reach your files, email and calendar once you connect them. Set the folders it must not touch and keep the confirmation before actions such as sending an email.
  • Company use needs a written commercial licence from Skales; an organisation can evaluate it once for 30 days.
  • The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so install only from the official download page.
