What's new

Every release, newest first. Skynet checks once a day and offers a newer one itself — Install and Relaunch does the rest.

Install and Relaunch works again

Download Skynet.dmg · 4.7 MB · Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later

Send feedback from inside the app, a clean quit on macOS 27, the new icon with eyes, and a new home at skynetapp.eu

Groups in the agent sidebar — sections of your own that fold, with the marks of what they hide on the header; nothing starts on a sleeping Mac until it has been awake three minutes; a run with background work still out is one row, not two

  • A run with background work still out is one row, not two
  • Nothing is started on a sleeping Mac
  • A command automation waits for the Mac to settle like everything else
  • Groups in the agent sidebar
R39

A location or a contact you share in Telegram reaches your agent

R38

Keep this Mac awake: a switch on the Telegram page, so the Mac stays reachable from the phone

R37

Dashboard panels in Telegram as a PDF, and a paper plane on chats that came from the phone

R36

Your agents answer in Telegram, in the sidebar where Remote Control was

R35

A scheduled run you write into becomes one of your chats, listed with the rest

R34

A run that cannot get through says so, pi installs cleanly from Setup, and a slash command reads as what you typed

  • A retried run is one row, not two, and the Automations page says nothing when a run went fine
  • A scheduled run in flight, and a task in its first seconds, never show in the chat list
  • A dot goes only by an act
  • pi found where its own installer puts it, its bundled Node on the path, and --tasks never cuts an invalid status
  • A run that cannot reach the API says so and keeps its row, and a slash command reads as what you typed
  • Six skills for working on this app: build, vm-test, engine-matrix, release, verify, design-review
R33

A goal can end, you come first, and a passed check is Done

  • Autopilot: a passed check is Done, you come first, and a task's chat never leaves a dot
  • How a goal ends: a Done when list checked before every plan, and planning sessions per day
  • The goal is checked once more after the last task when the day's sessions are spent
  • The sessions bar shows only while On or Planned for today, and carries its count as text
R32

The sidebar says what each agent is set to, and the app stops reading disk on every redraw

  • The readers the views reach for are cached on the file's modification date
  • FileCache reads the modification date through FileManager, not the URL
  • Dashboard and Remote Control drop the window title
  • Activity's heading sits where Dashboard, Remote Control and Search put theirs
  • The chat list's Automations row shows how many the agent has, in the same pill as Activity
  • The chat list's Autopilot row shows its shift and mode, the same marks as Activity
  • The Autopilot row's icon is its shift
  • The Automations row's clock is green when the agent has any, grey when it has none
  • Guide: Autopilot from files
R31

Autopilot: an agent that works while you are away, and Activity, one glance at the whole app

  • Autopilot and Automations inside the agent
  • Activity page, the marks vocabulary in the chat list, and a planning rule that only proposals hold back
  • Test pass over Autopilot and Automations
  • A Task tab on the bar, and Activity's cells as their own links
  • The task's Open folder in Zed goes
  • Guide: the Task tab, the turns as they are sent, Activity's cell links, and no trace of the global Automations page
  • Activity: the automation count in a pill with the section's clock, tinted by the worst of them
  • Search inside an agent covers every chat
R30

The setup page says which tools are behind, and offers Update

R29

Each chat keeps its own model, and local pi models show up

  • pi models: local ones show in the chip and on the context meter
  • Model per chat: a pick in one chat no longer reaches another
R28

The chat list finds chats in folders with spaces, _ or . in the path

R27

⇧↩ starts a new line, and a newer release is offered in a dialog

  • Updates: a newer release is offered in a dialog, once per build
  • Composer: ⇧↩ starts a new line instead of sending
R26

Setup: Homebrew always shown, notifications that can be allowed and tested

  • Setup: Homebrew always has a row, and a brew install sets up brew first when it is missing
  • Setup: Notifications asks macOS when it never has, and opens Skynet's own page when refused
  • Setup: a test notification, since allowed is not the same as seen
R25

A Setup page that checks this Mac, self-contained, house tabs, a usage popover that stays

R24

How several Claude accounts work, written down

R23

One-line engine picker, a dashboard that sits up, and the account's real name

R22

A one-line toolbar, one plan glyph, and a subscription chip

R21

One sidebar toggle, at the sidebar's trailing edge

R20

Even gaps between the toolbar icons

R19

A sidebar that keeps its width, and one-click Zed / Terminal / Finder

R18

Quitting asks first while agents are working

R17

A failed or stopped background task is named, not shown by its id

R16

Background tasks each get a row and their own Stop

R15

A queued message can be taken back for editing

R14

A saved quickstart shows up, and one with no prompt survives

R13

New chat returns to an unsent message

R12

Chats can run in parallel, per agent

R11

Chat rename in a popover, with Reset

R10

Chats can be renamed

R9

The guide's search finds in place

R8

⌘O types into the switcher and gives the cursor back when it closes

R7

The toolbar shows a box's ngrok address; the devbx.eu tunnel is gone

R6

The working-mark chooser is out of App Settings

R5

The download page names the release it is serving

  • An agent is a mark and a colour, not a letter in a circle
  • The switcher drifted with the columns, because it was overlaying the wrong thing
  • The icon picker jumped, and baseline alignment was why
R4

⌘O agent switcher, guide search, ⌘V images, focus at launch

  • ⌘V attaches a copied image
  • ⌘O switches to any agent, and the guide has a search field
  • The message box has the cursor at launch; ⌘O lists every agent A–Z
R1–R3

The first month — the app, the site, and everything before releases were numbered.
