Sealed testimony
Each participant answers the same four questions apart, keeping one person from reading the other’s account before the ruling.
Capybara Court
Capybara Court settles small disputes through private sealed statements reviewed by Judge Cappy, delivering a shared ruling for both sides—or a ruling on your own.
Private rulings for small disputes
Capybara Court is a lightweight web app for settling small interpersonal disputes. Judge Cappy the capybara reviews sealed statements from the people involved and issues a shared ruling, with the aim of giving both sides a private way to explain what happened.
The homepage illustrates the process with a dispute about household dishes. Mina and Jun answer four questions separately, neither can read the other’s testimony, and the example ruling assigns an outcome, divides fault, and records findings of fact. The service says it requires no accounts and is free while in beta.
Features
Private judge review
The site says only Judge Cappy reads both statements, while each participant sees only the ruling and their own submitted material.
Shared ruling
The judge’s example ruling gives one outcome to both participants rather than presenting separate decisions.
Structured verdict
A sample ruling includes a sentence, a percentage fault split, and findings of fact to explain the decision.
Post-seal immutability and deletion
Once testimony is sealed, the page says it cannot be edited, and written material is automatically destroyed 30 days after filing.
Use cases
Household chores
Use the sealed four-question process when two people disagree about a small household responsibility, such as the illustrated dishes dispute, and want an outside ruling without reading each other’s statements first.
Agreeing on a next step
Use a shared ruling to turn an informal disagreement into a defined next step. The example assigns a concrete action and a playful tie-breaker rather than leaving the dispute unresolved.
A personal call
Open a ruling yourself when you want Judge Cappy’s perspective on a personal disagreement but do not have a second participant available; the site advertises this option, although it does not explain the one-sided workflow in detail.

FAQ
How does a case work?
The public page describes a sealed process in which both people answer the same four questions separately. Each person’s statement is hidden from the other and read by Judge Cappy; the site does not explain the case-opening or participant-joining steps in further detail.
Do both people have to participate?
The site says the product can be used with both sides testifying, and its description also presents an option to open a ruling yourself. The detailed workflow for a one-sided case is not specified on the public page.
What does the ruling contain?
After both statements are sealed, the judge produces a ruling shown on both screens. The example ruling includes a sentence, a fault split, and findings of fact, but the site does not document whether other output formats are available.
Can a sealed case be changed or reopened?
The page says that statements cannot be edited after sealing and that everything written shreds itself 30 days after filing. It does not describe reopening, appeals, or how a ruling can be shared.
How much does Capybara Court cost?
The homepage says Capybara Court is free while in beta. It does not provide usage limits, future pricing, or plan details.
