Your AI agents work all day. Now command them from your pocket by voice, from the lock screen, hands-free. Always safe running on your machines, answering only to you.
You already run coding agents on your Mac, your server, your VPS. CARAPACE puts all of them in your pocket, not as another chat app, but as a command surface: your agents stand in line, speak their results out loud, and wait for your word.
TALK TO YOUR MACHINES AND LET THEM SEE WHAT YOU SEE!
Vision mode intelligently uses built in Apple sensor and AI systems to feed to your agents
Voice-first: speak a task, hear the reply, answer hands-free. The mic reopens when it's your turn
Auto mode: every lane that finishes work gets its turn to report, like holding court
Works from the lock screen and over your music. Replies duck in, music comes back
Live captions of what's being spoken, right on the lock-screen card
EVERY AGENT, EVERY MACHINE, ONE APP
Pair unlimited machines: home Mac, office box, cloud VPS
Works with the agent tools you already use: Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, and your own custom runtimes
Switch machines and lanes instantly; see who's working, who's ready, who's idle
Full chat with photos and history when you'd rather type than talk
YOURS, ACTUALLY
CARAPACE doesn't sit between you and your AI. Your agents run on hardware you control, with your own accounts and keys. The app pairs directly with a small gateway on your machine. One line pasted into your agent sets it up, and a QR code pairs your phone. No middleman servers, no traffic through us.
Setup takes about five minutes: carapace.info/setup
Requires at least one machine running a supported agent CLI with your own account. CARAPACE Pro subscription: $4.99/month or $39.99/year after a 7-day free trial; auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage in your App Store account settings.

Still testing things out, more detailed review to come. Would it be possible to use in device STT instead of the one that sends audio clips to Apple? The current one indicates it uses Apple STT, better than nothing but some users won’t use it.
Developer Response
That was the original plan, but it just was really variable stability wise, especially with the recent voice upgrades last week in OpenClaw. And OpenClaw is unstable its self currently with a bad tui race bug. So I decided to go what is the easiest for someone not tech savvy. Originally was a bridge from Gemini live, but tool calls kept dropping. Planning on rolling this out in the future though because it just sounds so much better. I download the premium Lee Australian voice , I think that’s the best at the moment. And a couple little bugs in testing this build that I missed including an update to voice handling and text streaming. I appreciate you and thanks for testing it! -Mike
