💻

Runs on your machine

Kaptain is a local binary/runtime layer that stays close to your code, tools, and project environment.

💬

Direct agent chat

Talk to the main runtime or message individual agents remotely from your browser or phone and keep the work moving.

🛡️

Human stays in the loop

Sensitive CLI, file, and tool actions can pause for approval so automation stays useful without becoming careless.

🧩

Delegate routine work

Offload repetitive or data-heavy subtasks to other configured agents or routes so premium model time stays focused.

⏱️

Keep long tasks alive

Use scheduling, background runs, notifications, and recurring jobs so work continues even when you are away from the terminal.

🌿

More resource-aware workflows

Keep orchestration local and route simpler work appropriately instead of sending every task through the heaviest available path.

One task flow.
Multiple routes.
Your choice.

Kaptain does not replace your providers or your local tools. It adds one remote control surface, one approval flow, and one scheduling layer around the workflows you already run.

1

Choose the right route

Use local models, API-connected providers, or other configured runtimes based on the task, budget, and level of control you want.

2

Chat, assign, or delegate

Start from a prompt, queue a task, or let one agent hand routine work to another configured route when appropriate.

3

Approve, review, ship

Sensitive actions surface for approval, while the rest of the workflow stays available remotely and easy to steer.

Common questions

What exactly is Kaptain?
Kaptain is a remote agent runtime for your own machine. It adds agent chat, task orchestration, approvals, scheduling, and persistence around the tools and model routes you configure in your own environment.
Do I need separate provider access too?
Usually, yes. Kaptain is the orchestration layer. Some routes use your own local runtimes, while others may require your own API or provider authentication depending on what you connect.
Is my data private?
Kaptain runs on your hardware. Work stays local unless you choose to use an external provider route. If you use only local runtimes, your workflow can stay fully local.
How does the 3-day trial work?
When you install Kaptain, a 3-day trial starts automatically — no credit card required. After 3 days, you'll need a license key to continue. Subscribe at CA$4.99/month and you'll get a key instantly via email.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, cancel any time from your Stripe customer portal. No lock-in. If you cancel, your license key remains valid until the end of the billing period.
What operating systems are supported?
Linux, macOS, and Windows. Anywhere Python 3.10+ runs. Most users run it on a Linux server or their dev machine and access it from any browser.

Keep your workflow within reach.
