Self-Hosted AI Tools You Can Run in Docker

Dia generates spoken English conversations from a written script. It's for developers and researchers who want to produce two-speaker dialogue on their own hardware, with audio references to guide the voices and delivery.

Serena gives AI coding agents tools to work with functions, classes and the relationships between them. It's for developers who want an agent to locate and change specific code without reading every file in full.

Codewhale is a coding assistant for developers who want an agent to inspect projects, make changes and check the results. It runs on your computer and lets you choose the model and the permissions it works under.

AFFiNE is a local-first knowledge workspace for individuals and teams who want documents, visual plans and databases together. It keeps workspace data on your disk and supports self-hosted servers through Docker. Optional AI features assist with writing and visual work alongside the local workspace. Optional AI in self-hosted workspaces requires your own provider keys; cloud provider requests go to that service.

Tracely helps developers trace AI agents and turn production failures into tests that catch the same problem before another release. It uses recorded runs as test cases, so teams can build regression coverage from failures their agents have actually encountered.

ShellGPT is an AI terminal assistant for developers and others who want help writing commands and code without leaving the shell.

Docspell is a self-hosted document organizer for households and small organizations that need to find files collected from scanners, email and other sources. It uses extracted text to help reduce manual labeling.

Chat2DB Community is a free local database client for developers, database administrators and analysts who want AI assistance beside their SQL editor. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, or in Docker with browser access. You connect your own AI model; where AI requests go depends on that connection, so the local app alone doesn't guarantee local inference.

pgvectorscale extends pgvector for developers who want to search large embedding datasets within PostgreSQL. It adds indexing and compression for AI applications that keep vector data in their existing database.

ScribeDog is a Markdown editor for writers and note-takers who want AI help with documents they keep in their own folders. It shows formatted content while saving plain Markdown files that other editors can open.

wigolo gives AI agents web access from a server on your own machine. It's for developers who want coding assistants or self-hosted agents to gather web evidence and reuse what they've already fetched.

chatz is a self-hosted AI chat app that can display live charts, tables and status panels inside conversations. It's for individuals and teams who want to host their own chat interface, choose their model providers and connect tools. The app is open source under the MIT license.

Fooocus generates images on your computer for people who want to work from prompts without extensive settings adjustments. It uses Stable Diffusion XL and works offline after the required models are downloaded.

TranscriptionSuite is a speech-to-text app for people recording lectures, transcribing conversations or dictating documents on their own hardware. Transcription works offline after the app and model downloads, keeping audio and transcripts local.

LocalAI is a self-hosted AI runtime for developers and teams that want to run models on their own hardware. It brings language, speech, vision and media generation into one server that existing AI applications can connect to.

OpenClaw.NET is a self-hosted AI agent runtime for a personal assistant or a shared team gateway. It's an independent .NET implementation inspired by OpenClaw, with compatibility for supported parts of that ecosystem.

WeKnora is a self-hosted AI knowledge platform for teams that want to query documents, carry out tasks using them and organize them into a wiki. These functions share the same knowledge bases.

Astron Agent is an AI agent platform for teams building workflows that act across business systems. Its self-hosted edition combines workflow orchestration with tools that let agents carry out tasks.

PersonalClaw is a self-hosted AI agent for one person who wants chat, ongoing tasks and personal knowledge in one web dashboard. It runs on Linux and macOS, with Docker support that also covers Windows. It's open source under MIT and is currently pre-1.0, with breaking changes expected. A one-time download supplies a tiny CPU model for offline chat without tools. Autonomous tool work needs your own Ollama model or a provider app.

Bisheng is a self-hosted AI application platform for teams working with business documents and processes. It supports tasks such as document review, support ticket assistance and fixed-layout report generation, including workflows that need human judgment during execution.

Open Notebook is an alternative to Google's NotebookLM for researchers, students and professionals working with their own materials. It brings research and notes together while letting you choose what context an AI model can access.

ONLYOFFICE Docs is a self-hosted office suite for teams that want browser-based document editing and AI assistance on their own servers. It handles Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats (.docx, .xlsx and .pptx), alongside PDFs and fillable forms. The free community edition is open source under AGPL-3.0 and runs through Docker or on Linux and Windows servers.

KADATH is a self-hosted AI agent runtime for developers and researchers comparing agents against a measurable goal. It runs successive generations of agents and selects stronger approaches, but model calls require OpenAI's cloud API, an API key and internet access.

Agents Observe is a self-hosted dashboard for developers who want to inspect what Claude Code and Codex do during coding sessions. It helps you follow parallel agents and trace the commands or edits behind an unexpected result.

NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo is an open-source Python framework for engineers and researchers building AI models of physical systems. It combines physics constraints with simulation and observed data to train surrogate models that can predict behavior in near real time. The framework uses PyTorch and carries the Apache 2.0 license.

ToolHive runs and manages Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for developers and platform teams that want control over the tools their AI clients can access. It supports individual desktop use and shared deployments on your own infrastructure.

DarkMoon runs autonomous penetration tests for security teams, DevSecOps engineers and red teamers. It discovers a target's technology stack, assigns specialist AI agents and tests vulnerabilities across connected systems.

Wyoming Faster Whisper converts speech to text on your own hardware for Home Assistant and other Wyoming-compatible clients. It's for home voice systems that need local transcription and better recognition of household names.

EverOS is a Python library and memory runtime for developers building agents that need context across sessions and applications. It keeps conversations, files and task histories in readable Markdown that you can edit and version with Git.

Jean is a desktop and self-hosted workspace for developers running coding agents across multiple projects. Repositories, terminals and git operations run on your computer or server, while the connected agents use your own subscriptions or API access. With Claude Code’s standard cloud connection, prompts and model responses go to its remote provider.

PipesHub connects company knowledge to AI search and agents for teams whose files and conversations sit across business apps. It can also supply that context to coding assistants and custom applications.

M Flow is a self-hosted memory engine for developers whose AI agents need to recall past conversations and work preferences. It runs in Python or Docker and supports Ollama for local model use, alongside providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Choosing a cloud provider sends model requests to that service.

Memind gives AI agents long-term memory for projects, user preferences and past tasks. Developers can use it to carry context between sessions while keeping links to the material each memory came from.

PhotoPrism is a self-hosted photo and video organizer for people who want to browse, search and share a personal media collection on their own hardware or server.
