The power is in your hands. Create any agent you can imagine, from the practical to the whimsical. Unlike general-purpose models, our agents are built around detailed system prompts (your specialized instructions). This means your Lawyer Agent acts strictly as a legal professional, your Financial Analyst Agent sticks to market data, and your Creative Writer maintains the tone and genre you defined. The configuration you set is the context they live by. Deep Role Configuration: Set the exact persona, rules, and guidelines for your AI, ensuring every response is relevant and in character. Focused Advice: Receive answers that are not just accurate, but contextualized and tailored to the specific domain you assigned the bot. Persistent Context: Agents maintain awareness of your conversation history, allowing for complex, multi-turn discussions within their area of expertise. Clean UX: Our new chat interface hides the complex system prompt, giving you a clean, welcoming experience driven by a concise, AI-generated greeting.

You already run coding agents on your Mac, your server, your VPS. CARAPACE puts all of them in your pocket, not as another chat app, but as a command surface: your agents stand in line, speak their results out loud, and wait for your word. TALK TO YOUR MACHINES AND LET THEM SEE WHAT YOU SEE! Vision mode intelligently uses built in Apple sensor and AI systems to feed to your agents Voice-first: speak a task, hear the reply, answer hands-free. The mic reopens when it's your turn Auto mode: every lane that finishes work gets its turn to report, like holding court Works from the lock screen and over your music. Replies duck in, music comes back Live captions of what's being spoken, right on the lock-screen card EVERY AGENT, EVERY MACHINE, ONE APP Pair unlimited machines: home Mac, office box, cloud VPS Works with the agent tools you already use: Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and your own custom runtimes Switch machines and lanes instantly; see who's working, who's ready, who's idle Full chat with photos and history when you'd rather type than talk YOURS, ACTUALLY CARAPACE doesn't sit between you and your AI. Your agents run on hardware you control, with your own accounts and keys. The app pairs directly with a small gateway on your machine. One line pasted into your agent sets it up, and a QR code pairs your phone. No middleman servers, no traffic through us. Setup takes about five minutes: carapace.info/setup Requires at least one machine running a supported agent CLI with your own account. CARAPACE Pro subscription: $4.99/month or $39.99/year after a 7-day free trial; auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage in your App Store account settings.
