How Caracal can help

See more. Decide sooner.
Stay ahead of change.

Caracal watches for threats as they appear, then uses machine learning and layered detection together to help reduce risk without filling your day with noise.

01 / Protection

AutoScan

AutoScan keeps watch while you work, browse, and download. It checks new or changed files as they appear, surfaces suspicious activity early, and gives you a clear signal before a small concern becomes a bigger problem.

02 / Detection

Layered detection

Caracal does not rely on machine learning alone. It combines ML verdicts with static indicators, file type and size, SHA-256 context, label mismatch checks, suspicious strings, and browser-footprint signals.

03 / Privacy

Footprint detection

Caracal checks browser history for fingerprinting, cross-site tracking, and suspicious website code indicators that can make your device easier to track.

04 / Performance

Optimizer

Find heavy user applications and temporarily limit their impact. Protected Windows processes stay untouched, while you remain in control of what gets changed.

Keep your PC focused →

05 / Safeguards

Safe Vault

Create a protected copy of important files without moving or changing the original. A simple extra layer before you inspect or handle a file.

06 / Access

Passwords

Keep saved website passwords in one place and unlock access with Windows Hello. Caracal keeps the password list locked until you authenticate.

Keep access protected →

07 / Play

Game-aware tools

Detect supported games and provide an optional overlay with FPS, CPU, RAM, and ping telemetry. Emula adds Windows Hypervisor Platform passthrough for supported setups.
