/capy/ used to be a desktop-only experience — open it on a phone and the layout fell apart. We just rebuilt the mobile shell. Same vault, same Capy, same pages, sized for the screen you actually have on you.
What works on a phone now
Open https://docapybara.com/capy/ from a mobile browser and you'll see:
- A bottom switcher between Pages and Chat. Tap to flip between editing a page and asking Capy something.
- A left drawer with your full file tree — same hierarchy as the desktop sidebar, accessible from the menu button.
- The page editor, with markdown shortcuts that handle mobile keyboards correctly. Tap Enter and you get a line break, not a chat-style submit.
- Capy chat, with the input pinned at the bottom and the conversation scrolling above.
You can record audio from your phone too, which is where mobile actually earns its keep — the recorder we shipped this week works inside a page, on a phone, the same way it works at your desk. Walking between meetings? Open Docapybara, hit record on the next one.
How the chat pane behaves
Chat on mobile is a session pane. It stays mounted while you flip between Pages and Chat in the same session — your message draft doesn't disappear when you peek at a page. But it does drop on refresh. That's intentional: chat history isn't backed by storage, and we'd rather the pane be transparent about that than fake permanence.
If you started a Capy conversation, switched to a page to copy something out, then switched back — the conversation is still there. If you reload the tab, fresh start.
The page selection works the other way around: it's persistent. Whatever page you had open in a section last time, the section opens to it again when you come back. (One row per section in the database, no localStorage games.)
What it isn't
To save you the FAQ:
- Not a native app. It's responsive web. Open the URL.
- Not offline. Docapybara is cloud-hosted; you need a connection.
- Not a separate mobile build. Same code as the desktop, with a layout that adapts under 768px.
If you live mostly in mobile and want a native shell, Obsidian and Mem handle that case differently. We're a single-user web app that now also works on the device you carry — see Docapybara for everyday knowledge work for the broader shape.
