Private by design
Your devices connect directly whenever they can, and everything between them is end-to-end encrypted. When they can't, an encrypted relay passes along what it can't read.
BetaFree · macOS, Windows, Linux
Your meeting room.
Private calls with shared notes, decisions and insights, worked out on the computers in the room. No account, and no server that can read a word.

No accounts · nothing a server can read
A room that belongs to the people in it.
AI on your computer
Transcripts, minutes, captions and translations are made on your own machine, with models you choose to download. No AI service or server ever gets your voice or your words.
24 words, not a password
No sign-up, no email. Your identity is 24 words only you hold. Type them on another device and your rooms come along.
Meetings
Everything about a meeting, worked out on the computers in it.
Who talked how much, the notes, the decisions, the recap. Each person’s computer works out its own part, signs it and shares it with the room, and all of it belongs to that one meeting. Nobody has to host: anyone can move the round along, mark a decision or edit the notes.
Before the call
The standup starts before anyone joins.
Each person fills Yesterday, Today and Blockers in the room when it suits them. The answers wait there, one person at a time.
- When everyone who’s going has filled theirs, skip the call
- Turn a blocker into a room task in one click
- A repeating meeting opens with last time’s minutes, open tasks and decisions
- With a model downloaded, Prepare me sums up what happened in the room since
In the call
A round, shared notes, and the moment something was decided.
Everyone speaks in turn, in a random order that’s the same on every device, and anyone can press Next. The notes are one document everyone edits live. Decision and Task mark the moment they’re pressed.
- 1, 1:30 or 2 minutes each: the timer turns amber, then red
- Notes from templates: daily, 1:1, planning, interview, retro
- A checkbox with an @name becomes a task with an owner
- Quick polls, planning poker and fist of five
- Breakout rooms drawn at random from a shared seed, then anyone can move to another group
- Present a PDF page by page. Nothing is uploaded
- A connection card for each person: delay, loss, and whether it’s direct
After the call
Each meeting keeps its own. A series shows the trend.
Insights, notes, decisions and tasks belong to the meeting they came from, never one blended number for the room. A meeting that repeats, like a standup, shows over time: how long it ran against the plan, who talks and who stays quiet, tasks done or late.
- The same numbers for everybody, live and afterwards
- Your speaking over the weeks, read from your own transcript, shown to you alone
- A decisions log for the room, each opening its call at that moment
- A recap in the room when the call ends, with Schedule the next one
- With a model downloaded, chapters that jump to the moment
On-device AI, in the meeting
Help in the call, from your own computer.
Download a model in Settings → Notes & AI and Capy listens along with you, on your computer. It suggests, you decide: nothing goes to the room until you click, and nothing it made up is shown as said.
- Catch me up: joined late? A short summary of what you missed
- A live summary of the topics, decisions and open questions so far
- Decisions and tasks found in what was said, for you to confirm
- Your standup check-in written from what you said, for your approval
- Ask past meetings without leaving the call, with the moment cited
Retros and boards on the canvas
Start / Stop / Continue and Went well / To improve / Action items, with stickies hidden until everyone is ready or the countdown runs out. Kanban and Scrum boards whose cards are the room’s tasks.
In four languages
English, Português, Español and العربية, right to left. Menus and buttons change; what people write stays as they wrote it.
How it works
Three steps, and nobody listening in between.
- 01
Create your identity
Capy gives you 24 words. Write them down: they are your account, and only you have them.
- 02
Create a room, send the invite
Name it and share the invite with the people you want in it. Only people with the invite can ask to come in, and a member lets them in.
- 03
Meet
Your devices find each other and connect directly, end-to-end encrypted, or through a relay that can't read it. The room lives on your devices.
Built on PearHolepunch's peer-to-peer stack: Hypercore, Hyperswarm, Autobase and HyperDHT.AI by QVACTether's local AI: speech recognition, translation, language models and search, all on your device.

The rest of the room.
The canvas in the call, rooms that erase themselves, and everything between one meeting and the next.
Calls and interviews
Meet, share, and think on the same canvas.
Voice, video and screen sharing, with a shared canvas in every call. Built for system design interviews: a problem card, a timer, and peer-to-peer pieces ready to drop in.
- A lobby to check camera and mic
- Raised hands, reactions, everyone's cursor live
- Arrows that stay attached, the canvas kept in the notes
Between meetings
Plan the next one in the same room.
Schedule a meeting with an agenda, its own time zone and a repeat rule. Everyone answers Going, Maybe or Can't, gets a reminder and joins from the card. In the call, the agenda moves along for everyone and the minutes follow it.
- Agendas with owners and minutes, from templates
- Upcoming: every room's meetings in one calendar
- Chat in between: threads, replies, @mentions, stickers, files, voice and video messages
For what shouldn't last
Secure rooms that erase themselves.
For the conversations that should end with the call. Its key stays only on the devices in it, and by default the room is erased for everyone when the call ends. The owner can pick a time instead, from 1 minute to 7 days.
- 2 to 8 people
- Nothing kept but the chat, erased when the call ends or its time is up
- Hidden from screenshots on macOS and Windows
Know who's in the room
Verify people by safety code, block anyone, and name admins and moderators who run the calls with you.
All your devices
Type your 24 words on another computer and it finds your other devices by itself, rooms and all.
Your disk, your call
Free up space on a device whenever you like, and download a room's files again from a peer when you need them.
Privacy, honestly
What stays private, and what doesn't.
No app is magic. Here's who can see what, in plain words.
What we never see
- Your messages, calls, files, transcripts and minutes. The blind peer and relay we run see devices' IP addresses and how much encrypted data there is, and when. Never what's in it.
- Your 24 words, your keys, or the names of your rooms.
- Analytics or tracking. The app makes no web requests, and this site sets no cookies.
What others can see
- People in a room keep a copy of what's shared there. Choose who you invite.
- Peers you connect to, and the relay and blind peer when they're used, can see your IP address.
- Lose your 24 words and every device, and nobody can recover them. Not even us.
FAQ
Questions before you jump in.
Is it free?
Yes. Capy is free.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up, email or password. Your identity is 24 words that Capy creates on your device, and only you hold them.
What if I lose my 24 words?
As long as one of your devices is still logged in, you can see them again in Settings and write them down. If you lose the words and every device, nobody can recover them, not even us. That's the price of having no account to reset.
Where is my data?
On the devices of the people in each room. Messages, files, transcripts, minutes, meeting notes and decisions travel between them, encrypted, and directly when the devices can reach each other. No Capy server holds anything it can read.
Can people see my IP?
Yes. Peers you connect to, network nodes that help you connect, and the Capy blind peer and relay when they're used, can see your IP address. That's how connections work.
Does the AI send my voice anywhere?
No. Transcription, captions, translation and minutes run on your computer with QVAC, once you download a model in Settings → Notes & AI; until then they stay off. No AI service ever receives your voice or your text. Your voice goes only to the people in the call, and the transcript your computer makes goes to the room. The models are downloaded once over the peer-to-peer network.
Who hosts a meeting?
Nobody has to. Each person's computer works out its own part, like their talking times and, if they turn it on, the transcript of their own voice, and signs it. Anyone in the call can move the round along, mark a decision or edit the notes. The room's owner or an admin can still mute someone, take them out of a call or end it for everyone. The minutes are written by the last person to leave, on their own computer, if they have a minutes model downloaded, and shared with the room.
Which systems does it run on?
macOS 12 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows 10 or later and Linux (AppImage, on x64 and ARM64) have unstable test builds.
Which languages does Capy speak?
English, Portuguese, Spanish and Arabic, right to left. Menus and buttons follow the language you pick; what people write stays as they wrote it.
Can I use it on several devices?
Yes. Type your 24 words on another computer and your identity and rooms come along.
What is a secure room?
A room for 2 to 8 people whose key stays only on their devices, until it's erased. Nothing is kept but the chat: no transcripts, minutes, notes or insights. It's erased for everyone when the call ends (or when a time the owner picked is up, from 1 minute to 7 days), and on macOS and Windows its window is hidden from screenshots. Linux can't do that.
What if everyone else is offline?
A room lives on its members' devices, so new messages arrive when someone in it comes back online. Every release of Capy automatically uses a blind peer run by the team: an always-on peer that keeps encrypted copies so a room is there anyway. It can't read anything, and secure rooms are never given to it.
How do updates work?
Capy updates itself over the same peer-to-peer network, from peers that seed new versions. On a Mac this works once the app is in Applications; Capy offers to move itself there. No download page to come back to.
Come on in, the water's warm.
Capy is free and in beta, for macOS. Windows and Linux have unstable test builds.
