This macOS alpha release brings clearer Sphere collaboration, inline interactive artifacts, a unified Feed, and more reliable sync, messaging, 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

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

Desktop

  • Find Spheres faster with a searchable switcher, Recent threads, and a pinned Create Sphere action.
  • Personalize Spheres with colors and animated backgrounds.
  • Follow meaningful run steps in a steadier timeline with clearer progress and failure details.
  • Preview Brain images and local videos, and manage attachments directly within your draft.

Sphere Collaboration

  • Navigate shared Threads and Channels, create channels from the sidebar, and start private direct messages with fellow members.
  • See clearer audience labels that distinguish private conversations from messages shared with everyone.
  • Choose whether to create a Sphere agent and include conversation history when sharing.
  • Recover invitations more reliably and access shared Spheres across your approved computers.

Reliability

  • Recover more reliably from interrupted sharing setup, message delivery, and sync failures, with clearer status and recovery actions.
  • Keep drafts, conversation identity, display names, and emoji preferences more consistently through refreshes and sync conflicts.
  • Benefit from lower background memory use and protection against Sphere sync worker memory failures.
  • See available updates in the sidebar and retry interrupted downloads or failed installs.
