Pinokio

Pinokio is a local AI app launcher for people who want to try community projects without handling each app's terminal commands themselves. It brings app discovery and management into a desktop interface.

• App discovery and launch: Search community AI apps, agents and local services, filter by platform or GPU, and use launchers to install and open them.
• Agent control: AI agents can operate your apps, build workflows or apps, and answer questions about a project.
• Disk Saver: Apps can share storage for identical files while retaining the file paths they expect.
• Multiple versions: Keep separate copies or versions of an app side by side and switch between them.

The catalog includes Uncensored Local Studio for offline GGUF language models, Whisper speech recognition and Kokoro speech synthesis, plus MiniMax H3 ComfyUI for video generation. Model compatibility, hardware needs and offline availability depend on the app. Some apps use external services such as the Suno API, and plugins such as Freebuff require an account.

Pinokio runs on macOS, Windows and Linux and is open source under the MIT license. It keeps runtimes, logs and files on your machine, with app files and installed binaries inside its own directory by default. Launcher scripts come from public Git repositories, and Discover scripts undergo manual review. You can also write your own launchers. Scripts can download files and execute arbitrary commands, including commands outside the default directory.
