What Capri can do
Desktop life, voice, calls, jobs, reminders, mini games and memory, with what works on Windows and what is still Windows only.
- 80 languages
- Windows: full
- Mac / Linux: preview

Capri is a character first and a tool second: she lives on your screen, talks, remembers you and does jobs when you ask. This page lists what she does as of v0.8.6.1, platform by platform, from the README and release notes.
Life on your desktop
- Sits on your stuff: perches on app windows with her legs over the edge, drops onto icons or the bottom of the screen, and naps anywhere she sits (0.8.5).
- Moves with you: sways to your music, dances to the beat, rides your cursor, wanders between your windows; right-click › Move hops her across them.
- Reacts: flails and frowns when you pick her up, glitches when you toss her, boots back up after a nap.
- Head pats: rub your cursor back and forth over her; up-and-down rubs count since 0.8.4.
- Clones and chaos mode: “make 5 clones”, then hold Esc to clear them. Hologram lets clicks pass through her.
- Sizes from Tiny to Giant, and a cyberpunk mini player for your music with her perched on it (Windows).
Talking and her voice
Click the pencil to type, or the wave to voice chat. With Listen for “Hey Capri” on (Settings › HABITS › Security, Windows and English) she glitches in when you say her name, and since 0.8.6 keeps listening for 20 seconds. She answers in 80 languages.
| Under VOICE | What it is |
|---|---|
| Prebuilt local | Her own voices, free on your PC (Kokoro by default). HD copies a clip you pick: 6 GB of graphics memory and 16 GB of RAM recommended. |
| Custom local | A voice model you run: a Piper, Kokoro, Kitten or Pocket TTS file, or your own Kokoro-FastAPI, Fish Speech or Qwen3-TTS server. |
| Cloud voice | Fish Audio (free tier), ElevenLabs or OpenAI, with your own key. |
Sliders tune her pitch, speed, robot and glitch, and voice layers add a higher and a lower copy. The project supplies a synthetic voice and a voice-design text prompt only, and forbids cloning a living person’s voice without consent.
Calls on Discord and more
Call mode (Windows, beta) lets her hear your call and know who said what. Ask her to join and she clicks into the voice channel, tells your friends you are away with a cheeky excuse, and launches the game or song they pick. Friends can ask her for things only if you switch that on, and only your mic or typing can say yes. For your friends to hear her, pick CABLE Output or Steam Streaming Microphone as your mic in Discord; if she only says one line, turn off Discord’s Echo Cancellation and Noise Suppression.
Jobs on your computer
- Opens apps, games and websites, several at once: “open Discord, Spotify and Steam”.
- Plays music on Spotify or YouTube, with pause, skip, volume and “what’s playing?”.
- Clicks, types and scrolls through multi-step jobs with her own cursor; talk to her mid-job or press Esc to stop.
- Draws on your screen (“circle the start button”), reads files you drop on her, and watches for things: “tell me when my health is low”.
- SECURITY sets how far she may go: Lockdown, Guarded, Trusted or Blackwall, with a toggle per action.
Reminders, games and clips
- Reminders and timers: “remind me on 5 December at 9am to call Mum”, “set a timer for 10 minutes” (Windows).
- Mini games: Chess, Connect four, Tic-tac-toe and Rock, paper, scissors from the Play menu in GAMES.
- Your games: she comments while you play, reads a game’s controls before her first move, and since 0.8.6 plays until you stop her.
- Clips: turn on Clip my games and say “clip that”. Live reactions pop up over full-screen games; “watch this with me” has her react to a video.
Memory and how fond she is
She remembers past chats and what she saw on your screen, on your PC, and brings up old moments herself. What she knows about you sits in me.md, which you can edit. Since 0.8.5 a SECURITY toggle keeps personal details out of her memories. With Check in on me (on by default) she glitches in now and then and asks for attention when you ignore her. A charm meter that grows as you spend time with her is planned, not built.
Code/Husk Mode
Mainframe › Settings › Advanced Settings › BRAIN › Code/Husk Mode: pick Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or All. She installs her hooks (with backups) and acts out the coding assistant’s work: “Claude’s on it”, a caption like “Editing Brain.cs”, a flinch on failure, and “Claude needs your OK” out loud. She never approves anything herself. Works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Frequently asked questions
Does Capri Desktop have an affection or charm meter?
Not yet. “A charm meter: how fond of you she is, growing as you spend time with her” is on the README roadmap and still unchecked. What exists today: head pats (rub your cursor over her), check-ins where she glitches in on what you are doing, asking for attention when you ignore her, and remembering you in me.md.
Can Capri set reminders and timers?
Yes, on Windows: “remind me on 5 December at 9am to call Mum” or “set a timer for 10 minutes”. Reminders on dates came in 0.8.3. Some players report timers firing 15 to 30 minutes late during games (#168).
What mini games can I play with Capri?
Chess, Connect four, Tic-tac-toe and Rock, paper, scissors, from the Play menu in GAMES (Windows). She can also play your own games: since 0.8.6, “play Bloons TD 6” has her open it and play until you stop her.
Can Capri join my Discord call?
Yes, on Windows, in beta. Ask “join the Discord call and tell them I’ll be on in 15” and she clicks Join Voice herself, covers for you with a made-up excuse, and launches what your friends pick. Call mode also hears Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Signal, Skype, TeamSpeak, Mumble, Steam and browser calls.
What languages does Capri speak?
She answers in 80 languages. Her own offline ears hear English, plus 24 European languages with the 487 MB Parakeet Ultra pack (0.8.5.1). “Hey Capri” is Windows and English only for now.
What is Code/Husk Mode?
She becomes the body of Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode while they work: she perks up when they get your prompt, shows what file they edit, flinches at failures, tells you when they need your OK and sends out a clone for each subagent. She only watches; you answer in the coding app. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
