ThinkOS Public Beta

ThinkOS 0.0.409

This macOS alpha release brings a unified Feed, clearer shared Sphere conversations, inline artifacts, and more reliable syncing and updates.

Downloads

iPhone and iPad through TestFlight

  • ThinkOS has completed Apple's TestFlight review and is approved for public testing. We're distributing the iOS app through TestFlight for now because we're making rapid changes and want to deliver fixes and improvements quickly before the full App Store release.
  • Install Apple's free TestFlight app on your iPhone or iPad if you do not already have it, then open the ThinkOS public TestFlight link on that device and tap Accept or Install.
  • New ThinkOS builds appear in TestFlight as they are released. You can update manually or enable automatic updates in TestFlight. Expect frequent changes, occasional rough edges, and features that may move while the early release develops.
  • TestFlight builds are available for up to 90 days. We plan to keep a current build available, but if a build expires, return to TestFlight for the newest one.
  • Feedback is part of this early release: send notes from TestFlight, including screenshot feedback when useful, so we can reproduce issues and improve the next build.

Highlights

  • Find ToDos, FYIs, and Fun in one Feed, with a Done list and controls to reopen or remove ToDos.
  • View interactive HTML artifacts inside conversations and save copies to Spheres.
  • Choose Queue or Steer when sending a message during an active run.

Desktop

  • Find Spheres faster with searchable pickers and Recent threads.
  • Personalize Spheres with colors and animated backgrounds.
  • Keep attachments inline with your draft and follow clearer run progress that folds into Thinking.
  • Review workflow run history and run scheduled workflows on demand while preserving their scheduled time.

Shared Spheres

  • Browse Threads and Channels under shared Spheres and create channels from the sidebar.
  • Start contextual direct messages with Sphere members, including when you have read-only access.
  • See a clearer conversation audience and change it from one menu.
  • Access shared Spheres more reliably across your computers, with clearer invitations and paused-sharing recovery.

Reliability

  • Reduce memory use during saving and syncing, and keep Sphere sync memory failures from crashing the app.
  • Recover more reliably from interrupted update downloads and failed installations.
  • Keep queued-message edits in the correct thread and preserve drafts across navigation.
  • Recover silent Slack agents automatically and show clearer sync and delivery failures.
