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
- Sphere sharing now explains the owner computer requirement and asks for consent to share existing conversation history.
- Sharing previews and confirmations show progress, with clearer errors and retry options.
- Queued messages support automatic steering, with visible delivery status and cancellation controls.
Desktop
- Creation and artifact saving keep progress visible during longer operations.
- Sphere navigation remembers expanded branches, and settings include collaboration Spheres.
- Sphere deletion offers a content choice and removes associated channels and guest copies.
Companion Sync
- Synced conversations preserve message order and completed responses while keeping partial responses on the originating device.
- Desktop workspaces and available Computers refresh as account changes arrive.
Reliability
- Saved channel and collaboration work recovers more reliably after offline restarts, with fewer repeated Slack recovery operations.
- Cloud settings recover after server outages, and Computer status updates arrive more promptly.
- Microphone setup recovers more reliably during onboarding.
Updating
- Packaged builds update from the configured beta channel.
