Capsule - a whole app packed into one file that sends like a PDF
Describe what is needed and it generates a single .capsule container holding the HTML interface, the schema and a local SQLite database. Send it over WhatsApp, AirDrop or email; opening the file launches the app with all data already inside.
- runs fully offline with no accounts and no servers, so there is no cloud storage to breach and no subscription attached to the data
- plain HTML and CSS inside, which means no vendor lock-in, and features or schemas can be reworked later through MCP coding tools
- free, with desktop players for macOS, Windows and Linux; iOS and Android are listed as coming soon, and the browser version previews but cannot save files
The honest use case is internal tools and one-off trackers that never deserved a cloud account in the first place, because anything genuinely multi-user is out of scope by design.
