Recapfy runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 37 installs a week from npm. Last commit 30 Jun 2026.
Ask about a YouTube video or fetch its transcript. Paid per call in USDC on Solana via x402.
Today is the operative word: we check Recapfy every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
