Requires OS X 10.8+ and Linux. Windows support planned.
OS X: Homebrew Cask
$ brew cask install caprine
Download the latest version for your platform. On OS X, unzip and move Caprine.app
to the /Applications
directory.
On Linux, unzip to some location. To add a shortcut to the application, create a file in ~/.local/share/applications
called caprine.desktop
with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Caprine
Exec=/full/path/to/folder/Caprine
Terminal=false

The interface adapts when resized to a small size.
Desktop notifications can be turned on in Preferences.
NOTE: There is a known bug with Electron's handling of desktop notifications on systems running Gnome 3 that may cause Caprine to crash if notifications are clicked. Until this bug is resolved, do not click on notifications if they cause your the app to crash on your system.
