ThinkOS Public Beta

ThinkOS 0.0.259

This macOS alpha release improves Sphere sharing and deletion, preserves synced conversations, and helps queued work recover after offline restarts.

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

  • Share Spheres mirrored through personal device sync.
  • Sphere creators can delete a Sphere with a choice about its content, with deletion carried through to connected channels and guest copies.

Desktop

  • Sphere navigation remembers expanded branches and places the lens at the bottom.
  • Available machine changes appear in desktop composers while machine names stay intact.
  • Improved microphone recovery during setup.

Companion Sync

  • Synced conversations preserve message order and completed responses.
  • Partial responses stay on the device where they are being generated.

Reliability

  • Queued channel and collaboration work recovers more reliably after offline restarts.
  • Saved Slack work resumes after catch-up.
  • Improved recovery for timed-out Sphere archive requests and fixes for retained archives and roll-ups.
