Your AI harness,
on your terms.

Kaptain is an agentic orchestration platform that runs on your machine. Edit and debug workflows with Deview, trace every decision with BlackBox Traces, and see your entire codebase at a glance with God's Eye View.

Then CA$4.99/month — includes Konnect Pro and Konvertex Pro at no extra cost.

// CORE CAPABILITIES

Four lenses on your workflow.

Most agent platforms hand you a chat box. Kaptain gives you the surfaces an actual developer needs — to edit, to orchestrate, to debug, and to see structure.

01 · Deview

Edit. View. Debug.

In-app editor for agent prompts, tool configs, and runtime files. Inspect what's loaded, change it, re-run — without context-switching to a separate IDE.

02 · Task Flow

End-to-end orchestration view

See the entire task graph: which agent owns what, what's queued, what's waiting on approval, what's blocked. The whole pipeline, one screen.

03 · BlackBox Traces

Every query, fully traced

Model used, context loaded, tools called, time per step, decisions made. Debug agent behavior the way you'd debug a stack trace.

04 · God's Eye View

Semantic map of your code

Your folders, files, symbols, and connections at a glance. Powered by a code graph — your agents understand structure before they touch a line.

// DEVIEW

Edit, view, debug.
One surface.

Most agent stacks force you to swap between a chat window, an editor, and a logs tab. Deview puts all three in one workspace — so you can adjust a prompt, see what file the agent was reading, and re-run the task without losing your place.

  • Full-access terminal for power users
  • Inline edit of agent configs and prompts
  • Live re-run after any change

// BLACKBOX TRACES

Every query.
Fully accounted for.

For every prompt you fire, Kaptain records the model used, the context loaded, the tools called, the time per step, and the decisions made along the way. Debug agent behavior the way you'd debug code — not by re-running and hoping.

// GOD'S EYE VIEW

Your codebase.
One glance.

A semantic graph of your entire project — files, symbols, callers, callees. Your agents understand structure before they touch a line. You see what's connected to what before you approve a change.

  • Find any symbol, callers, callees instantly
  • See impact-radius before editing
  • Auto-sync on every file change

// REMOTE ACCESS

Your machine,
reachable from anywhere.

Kaptain runs on your hardware — but your hardware doesn't have to be in front of you. We strongly recommend pairing Kaptain with Tailscale, a zero-config WireGuard mesh that gives every device on your tailnet a stable private IP. No port forwarding, no public exposure, no DNS gymnastics.

Once Kaptain is on your tailnet, the CHYNJ Android app and any browser on any of your devices can reach it at http://100.x.x.x:8888. Work from your phone on a train. Push a long-running task before bed and check the result from a café. Share files, screenshots, and prompts straight from your phone — your progress doesn’t stop because you stepped away from your desk.

  • Free for personal use (Tailscale Personal Plan)
  • Works on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android
  • End-to-end encrypted — no traffic through anyone’s cloud
  • Push files, screenshots, and prompts from your phone in real time
