Download Captain 0.9.0

Captain on your own computer.

The desktop app is a whole deck in one window: your agents, their files and your keys, on your Mac or PC, with no server to set up. It installs the rest on first launch and keeps itself up to date.

    First launch

    Captain downloads its engine and starts your deck. That's a minute or two, once, and you watch each step.

    Add a model

    An API key, Sign in with ChatGPT, or Ollama for fully local models. Then make your first agent.

Updates: Check for Updates… installs the new version beside the one you have, test-starts it, then switches. If it doesn't come up, you stay where you were. The desktop app is a deck for one person, with sign-in off. For a team, run Flight Deck on a server: see Self-host and For teams.

Ask from where you work.

Two small apps that send what you're looking at to one of your agents on your Flight Deck.

Captain for Mac

A menu-bar app. Hold fn in any app, and your selection, the window and what you say go to an agent; the answer comes back ready to paste. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. Needs a Flight Deck on 0.8.8 or newer.
