Kapal 2.2 brings two-way camera talk, a new Home Screen widget, and improvements throughout the app.
TWO-WAY CAMERA TALK
Speak through supported cameras and doorbells from live view. Hold the microphone to talk, or slide up to lock hands-free talking. A new first-use guide helps you turn on camera sound and allow microphone access.
CAMERA SNAPSHOT WIDGET — KAPAL+
Put a camera on your Home Screen in small, medium, or large sizes. See its latest available snapshot and tap to open live view. The widget can refresh directly from Frigate, subject to iOS scheduling.
AUTOMATIC CLOUDFLARE ACCESS ROUTING — KAPAL+
Use the same server URL at home and away with split DNS. Kapal can detect when your configured Cloudflare Access connection is needed.
LAYOUT AND PLAYBACK IMPROVEMENTS
Improved iPad and iPhone Duo layouts, separate Duo inner and outer camera-grid settings, and clearer fullscreen controls for Review, Events, and Motion.
FIXES AND POLISH
• Fixed Chat getting stuck on “Thinking” while processing large responses.
• Improved widget freshness and saved-filter handling.
• Improved server switching, sign-in, connection progress, and cancellation.
• Fixed playback fallback, seeking, replay, and player-state issues.
• Added camera-image retry and clearer region controls in Motion Search.
• Improved configuration backups, health-alert retries, and Apple Watch synchronization.
Two-way talk requires compatible Frigate/go2rtc camera support and a reachable WebRTC media connection. Remote availability depends on your server and network configuration.
