Why I built it
I used to move files with whatever was around: ssh, scp Secure copy over SSH. Fine for servers, awkward for quick transfers between your own machines. , the usual stuff. Eventually I started using the wormhole CLI Magic Wormhole. A short code on each side, end-to-end encrypted transfer. croc is the popular CLI. everywhere and liked it enough that I wanted a proper interface wrapped around it.
What it is
I built capsule to learn Bubble Tea Go TUI framework from Charm. Elm-style model/update loop, Lipgloss for styling. . It’s a wormhole manager with a file browser, optional zip-before-send Bundles a folder into one archive before sending. , clipboard-friendly codes, command history, and light animations. I themed it dark anime cyberpunk 90s High contrast, purple accents, scanlines. Late-90s sci-fi palette. because that’s what my terminal looked like at the time.
Status
It’s a personal project and I’m not planning to release it. There are a few bugs still, but I used it constantly, and over time it replaced everything else I’d been reaching for.
