Capybara Court

About this app

Someone left the dishes. Someone kept the fan on all night. Court is now in session, and the judge on the bench is a capybara. His name is Cappy.

Capybara Court is a playful courtroom for small disputes. Each of you answers the same four questions about what happened. Your answers are sealed the moment you finish: database rules stop your partner's phone from ever reading your words, and yours from reading theirs. Only Judge Cappy reads both sides.

Then the verdict opens on both phones at once: findings of fact, a fault split that is never 100 to 0, and one silly sentence to carry out together. Real grievances get a gentler settlement from Cappy instead, with no winner and one small step to try. Some things are bigger than a toy court, and when the court senses that, Cappy puts the gavel down and points to real help.

Nobody to summon? The gallery is the other half of the court. Leave your side of it there on your own. Judge Cappy reads it, covers the names and the places, and only then puts it up. Strangers read what happened and answer it. You choose how far it travels: nobody but Cappy, a link you hand out yourself, or the wall where anyone can find it. A story can be made quieter later, never louder.

Every story and every answer passes Judge Cappy before it is published. Anything can be reported, a person reads what is reported, and you can mute a story and never see it again.

Everything you write shreds itself 30 days after filing. Paw promise. No accounts, no ads, no trackers. Free while in beta.

What’s new

The court has a new look. Every case now shows where it stands, from filing to ruling, on one thread. A ruling opens with its answer, and Judge Cappy names what the quarrel was really about in one line before saying what to do tonight. A summons can be left unanswered, quietly. The morning after a ruling brings one gentle word, and the gallery is now a wall of pinned notes.
