Documentation

Welcome to Capsul

Capsul is an AI-powered app builder that turns plain-English descriptions into fully working single-file web apps — complete with a real SQLite database, live preview, and one-click deploy.

What makes Capsul different?

🗄️

Real Database Per App

Every generated app gets its own persistent SQLite database. No fake localStorage hacks — actual SQL queries that survive page refreshes.

🔑

Bring Your Own AI Key

Your Groq, OpenRouter, or NVIDIA NIM key. Keys are AES-256 encrypted at rest. You control the model and the cost.

AI Inside Generated Apps

Generated apps can call AI at runtime via CapsulAI. Build recipe generators, content tools, chat assistants — all without a backend.

📦

Download & Self-Host

Export any app as a standalone HTML file. Works offline with AlaSQL. No server needed to run a downloaded app.

⏱️

Version History

Every generation is checkpointed. Browse the last 5 versions and restore any of them with one click.

🚀

One-Click Deploy

Get a shareable URL on your own domain in seconds. Apps are served directly from your VPS with Nginx.
