Capri 0.6.0

Capri 0.6.0

big one. thanks to everyone who sent bugs, most of this is from your reports

new stuff

• CLIPS. say "capri clip that" and she saves the last 30 sec / 1 min / 2 min of your screen with sound, like shadowplay. turn it on in right click > Settings > Clips (first time it grabs a 90mb recorder). uses your gpu's encoder so games dont really feel it. you can pick where clips save ("Save clips to..."), default is Videos\Capri Clips. "clip the last 10 seconds" works too
• new ears: Qwen3-ASR. she hears you way better now, gets her name and app names right (whisper kept hearing "coppery" lol), 52 languages, and its faster too (like 2 sec a line, Small was ~15). pick it in setup or right click her > Ears > Model
• LM Studio as a brain. if claude is too expensive or you just want your own model, load any model in LM Studio, turn on its local server, and pick LM Studio in her Brain menu (or in setup)
• chat box and menu are a bit bigger, a few of you said it was hard to read
• she can close tabs now. "close the tab", "close the youtube tab", "close it", "close all the tabs you opened". she only touches the tab you mean or the ones she opened, never your other stuff
• she can close apps too. "close discord", "quit spotify", "exit valorant". same as hitting the X, so if something isnt saved the app still asks you first
• watcher skin has its own mini form now 👁️ (and still cant talk, obviously)
• the intro is smoother, more frames (and it loads faster)
• theres a Donate ♥ button in her right click menu now if you wanna support capri (totally optional, she stays free)

fixes

• she stopped randomly switching to german/spanish mid reply. "i was texting a friend" was getting read as german because of "was" 💀
• the 20 min "thinking" thing on slower pcs is fixed. she was re-sending the same question over and over when the brain was slow. now she caches her prompt and goes lighter on her own if your pc is slow. also fixed the brain not starting at all on weak gpus (intel uhd etc)
• her eyes actually work when you ask now. "look again", "check ma discord", "look what he said", "read now" etc. before she only looked if you said the exact right words
• memory is a lot better. old chats get saved as short summaries instead of disappearing, and she actually finds stuff you told her ("whats my dogs name" works now). also she doesnt save fake stuff anymore if you try to trick her with "remember when you said..."
• "play a game with me" doesnt open spotify anymore lol. she plays a game with you in the chat (would you rather, trivia, rock paper scissors...), and "play valorant" opens valorant instead of looking for a song called valorant
• "play some mj in yt" actually goes to youtube now (it was searching spotify for "mj in yt")
• she remembers claude code as her brain after you close and reopen her
• claude code replies are shorter (one line), use way less tokens, and normal questions answer faster
• updates show up right away now, even if a fix drops 5 min after the last one

linux (arch / kali)

• clips work on linux too with gpu-screen-recorder (x11, kde/gnome wayland, hyprland, sway), or ffmpeg on x11. run.sh offers to install it, even if you already had capri set up
• closing apps and tabs works on x11, hyprland and sway. on kde/gnome wayland she can close apps but tabs only in browsers running through xwayland (wayland doesnt let apps press keys in other windows)
• qwen ears work on linux, --setup grabs the llama.cpp engine for them if you dont have it

oh and if you're ever feeling down and ask her to play something... maybe try it 👀

Capri 0.5.9

Capri 0.5.9: setup fixes
A quick fix for the 0.5.8 setup wizard. If you installed 0.5.8, run this setup over it.

Fixes

Her brain and ears install again. In 0.5.8, setup downloaded the brain and ears you picked, then deleted them again at the end, so she started with no brain and no ears. Now they stay in her folder.
Setup really checks your PC. 0.5.8 said "Setup couldn't read your PC" on every PC. Now the Your PC page shows your graphics card, VRAM, RAM and CPU, and suggests the brain that fits.
Updating from 0.5.8 gets you what you picked. If 0.5.8 left you with no brain or ears, setup no longer pre-selects "Keep what she has now". It suggests the brain that fits your PC instead.
Welcome page text. It shows her real version number, and the "Click Next" line isn't doubled anymore.

Capri 0.5.8

What’s new
A new setup wizard. Setup now reads your PC and helps you pick:

Her language first. English, Español, Português, Français, Русский, Italiano, Deutsch, Polski, or Auto. Her menu, her chat and her ears all use it from the first start.
Your PC page. It shows your graphics card, VRAM, RAM and CPU, and suggests the brain that runs well on it.
Light PCs get an honest answer. If your PC is too light for a local brain, setup says so: she works great as a desktop companion (a desktop pet) that roams, peeks, sits on your windows, opens apps, plays music and sets timers. You can still give her a brain anyway if you want, or use Claude Code as her brain later.
Updating keeps everything. Run the new setup over your old Capri and pick Keep what she has now: your brain, ears, memory and settings stay, and nothing big downloads again.
Her ears are picked for your CPU too: Small on strong CPUs, Base on smaller ones.
Her mini form, redrawn. Go mini (right-click → Go mini, or say “go mini”) and she becomes her new little self, drawn by xilia_world00. She:

blinks, and looks left or right toward your cursor
moves her mouth when she talks
gets annoyed if you poke her 3 times
glitches while her brain is thinking
Single-click her to chat, double-click for full size. Always mini (in Settings) keeps her small, also after a restart. That’s great for gaming.

Mini chat box. In mini she has her own compact chat box. It sits right beside her, level with her eyes, on her right, or on her left when there’s no room.

She lies down. A new full-size lying pose: she stretches out on your taskbar or on top of the window she’s sitting on, dozes off, and gets up again. She does it by herself when nobody’s talked to her for a while, or when you say “lie down”. Turn it off in Settings → Lie down sometimes. She rides along when you move that window.

Pick her language once. On first start (and in setup) she asks which language to talk in. Her menu, her chat and her ears all stick to it. Change it any time: Settings → Language.

A real look at your screen. “What do you see?” now reads straight off your PC:

the app in front
its window title and page or tab name
its biggest headings (playlist, page or video names)
the text on it
So she says “you’re in your Liked Songs in Spotify” instead of guessing. Windows OCR now reads small UI text more sharply.

Steam games. She knows every game in your Steam libraries:

“open Peak on Steam”, “play Rhythia on Steam” or “launch VRChat” starts the game through Steam.
A game you don’t have opens its Steam store page. It’s never a Google search.
“open …” also works in her other languages: öffne, abre, ouvre, открой, apri, otwórz…
Low battery. On a laptop, unplugged at 20% or less: she goes mini to save power and tells you to plug in. She warns again at 10%, and comes back to full size when you plug in.

Best brain for your PC. Setup and her Brain menu read your PC (RAM, graphics card and VRAM) and mark the brain that runs well on it (“★ best for your PC”):

Nemotron (with eyes) on a 6 GB+ graphics card
CapriAI2 on a 4–5 GB graphics card, or on the CPU for laptops without a big graphics card
No local brain on very light PCs: she’s a desktop companion there, and Claude Code can still be her brain
Claude Code talks shorter. With Claude Code as her brain (and in smart mode) she now answers in a line or two, like a real speech bubble, unless you ask for details. After a job she just says what she did. That saves a lot of your Claude tokens, so you can use her longer.

A shorter menu.

Main menu: Talk, Go mini, Wander around, Ears, Skins, Size, Brain, Settings, Quit.
Settings: all the switches (vibe to music, watch my screen, chatter, react to things, game mode, leave me alone, always mini, lie down sometimes), plus Memory, Language and Credits.
In mini mode her menu opens in a smaller door right next to her.
New goodbye in mini. Quitting while she’s mini now plays the full outro: she streams up into the screen at the top right and switches off. The old blink-out is gone.

Fixes
One tick per menu. Size, Brain and now Mic (Ears → Mic) all work the same way: you can only have one picked. Before, you could tick several sizes, brains or mics at once and the menu showed all of them ticked.
Size and Brain can’t be spammed. Picking a second size while she’s still resizing is ignored. While a brain is swapping, every brain row is locked until it’s done.
No more language mix-ups. “hey capri” no longer gets answered in Spanish. Her code decides the language of each reply (your pick, or what you’ve been talking in) instead of guessing from two words. Her ears do the same: a short or unclear line no longer comes back as Spanish.
Her ears hear all eight languages by default (Small, multilingual). If you’re on the old English-only ears and pick another language, she tells you how to switch.
No more fake update notifications. 0.5.7 kept saying “there’s a new update: 0.5.7” because the app inside still thought it was 0.5.4. She now knows her real version and only tells you about a release that is actually newer.
Linux: her brain loads after --setup. On Arch / CachyOS / Kali, setup saved a config without the llama-server backend, so she said “My brain chip won’t slot in” and ran without AI. Fixed, and configs that already have the problem now work without editing anything.
Her chat box, menu door and mini form follow her size right away. No restart needed.
Changing size while she’s mini or lying down no longer breaks her art.
Her mini form never shows the lying art. Lying is a full-size pose.
Discord DMs and other private windows stay private. She won’t read them when you ask what she sees.
“open …” never turns into a Google search for a whole sentence.

Capri 0.5.7

What's new

A brand new entrance. Capri now bursts onto your desktop with a fullscreen glitch animation that zips down to where she lands, and she pops out of it with a flash. Sharper (HD frames), faster, and she shows up way quicker after you launch her.

Pick her up. Grab her and drag her around: she has a new held-in-the-air pose.

She talks with her mouth now. Her mouth moves while she talks, and it stops when she's done (no more getting stuck mid-sentence).

Smoother vibing. Her hair vibes to your music more subtly, like she's barely bopping along. Fixed her not hearing your music at all on some setups.

Brains. CapriAI2 downloads again (it moved to a new, smaller file on Hugging Face). Nemotron and Conversational 7B work as before.

Linux. Install with bash arch/run.sh --setup (or kali/run.sh --setup) to pick her brain and ears in the terminal.

Install (Windows)

Download Capri-Setup.exe below and run it. Pick her brain, engine and ears in the wizard, and she downloads everything and drops onto your desktop.
