About

Learn about localhosted, a directory of local and self-hosted AI apps, servers and tools for people who want to run AI on their own hardware.

What is localhosted?

localhosted is a directory of AI software you can run locally or self-host: chat interfaces, model servers, coding assistants, image and video tools, voice apps and the software that connects them.

Choose how you run AI

Running AI on your own hardware gives you more control over your setup. The directory helps you compare the available tools, find their source repositories and see which platforms they support.

How we choose and describe tools

We select AI software that supports local use or self-hosting. That includes apps, developer libraries and creative tools, as well as models and the software that runs them.

Descriptions draw on project websites and repository READMEs. We use AI to help draft summaries and review entries before publication. A listing describes documented features; it does not mean we have installed or benchmarked the tool.

Video summaries draw on the creator's transcript and video metadata. Demonstrations, results and opinions belong to the creator. Chapter links help you check the relevant part of the original video.

Premium listings

Premium listings receive faster review and featured placement, and carry a sponsored label. A paid placement does not establish that we have tested the tool or rated its performance.
