There is no account and no server: you sign in with 24 words that stay on your computer, and rooms sync directly between their members. * **Rooms by invite.** Create a room or paste an invite, and a member lets you in. Chat with replies, reactions, threads, files, photos, and voice and video messages. * **Calls.** Audio and video calls with screen sharing, raised hands, polls and breakout rooms. * **Meetings.** Schedule meetings with an agenda. After a call, its notes show who came and the decisions and tasks people marked during it. * **On-device AI.** With a model downloaded to your computer, Capy writes a transcript of your own voice, the call's minutes, and suggestions for decisions and tasks. All of it runs on your computer. * **Secure rooms.** Rooms for 2 to 8 people that keep only their chat and are erased when their call ends. Capy is in beta. The Snap Store keeps it up to date. ### Package name * capy --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/stable * Today - latest/beta --- ### Websites * [capy.ciranda.dev](https://capy.ciranda.dev "https://capy.ciranda.dev") --- ### Contact * [capy.ciranda.dev](https://capy.ciranda.dev "https://capy.ciranda.dev") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/capy/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Capy Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Capy To install Capy, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install capy ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
