What Caracal delivers
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
Caracal 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.
Turn on real-time protection →02 / 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.
See the signals →03 / Privacy
Caracal checks browser history for fingerprinting, cross-site tracking, and suspicious website code indicators that can make your device easier to track.
Protect your footprint →04 / Performance
Find heavy user applications and temporarily limit their impact. Protected Windows processes stay untouched, while you remain in control of what gets changed.
