Local AI Apps and Tools for Windows

Notion Knowledge Assistant is a self-hosted Telegram bot for people who keep research, reference notes or study material in Notion. You run the Python app on your own hardware or server, including through Docker, but answers depend on OpenAI's paid cloud API. It also needs connections to Notion and Telegram, so self-hosting doesn't make it an offline assistant.

AVCLabs PhotoPro AI is a paid desktop AI photo editor for Windows and macOS that uses your computer's hardware for image processing, with GPU acceleration available. It combines restoration and enhancement with text-prompt edits for photographers, product sellers and people repairing old family photos.

QAnything is a local knowledge base for people and teams who want to ask questions about their own documents. It supports offline operation and questions across Chinese and English document collections.

ExtractThinker is a Python library for developers who want to extract structured data from documents using models running locally through Ollama. It also supports OpenAI, Anthropic and Groq. With a cloud provider, extraction sends document content to that service, requires provider credentials and may incur charges.

Trainable Weka Segmentation is a local image segmentation plugin and Java library for Fiji. It's for researchers and image analysts who want to teach a classifier which image regions belong to each class, then apply that model to other images or stacks. It's free and open source under GPL-3.0.

Open Science Desktop brings research agents, notebooks and project files into one workbench for researchers who want to inspect the work behind an AI-generated result. Agents can carry a research topic through literature review, experiments, analysis and manuscript writing.

agentacct is a local dashboard for developers who want to see what coding agents did across projects and compare their work with resource use. It brings recorded activity and results into task receipts rather than relying on an agent's claim that a job is finished.

OpenCodeReview is a locally installed AI code review CLI for developers who want findings tied to specific code lines. It sends code to a configured LLM endpoint through OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible APIs. The local CLI handles the review process; model inference depends on that endpoint.

PocketPaw is a self-hosted AI agent for people who want an assistant to write code, manage files and act on websites from their own computer or server.

rclip searches folders by what their images contain, without requiring tags or a separate photo library. It's for people who keep image collections on their own computers or servers and want to search them from a terminal.

LivePortrait animates a portrait with facial expressions and head movements taken from a driving video. It's for creators who want to animate still faces or edit portrait videos on their own hardware.

Sesame CSM is a speech generation model for developers and researchers building voice applications on their own hardware. It generates spoken output from text and audio inputs, including earlier parts of a conversation.

PixlStash is an image manager for photographers culling shoots, creators reviewing AI images and people preparing datasets. It helps you find relevant pictures and review which ones to keep in large collections.

llamafile packages a language model and its runtime in a single executable for people who want to run models locally or share a ready-to-run model with others. Recipients don't need to install a separate runtime.

projectmem gives AI coding assistants a persistent record of a project's debugging history and architectural decisions. It's for developers who want agents to carry useful context between sessions and check past failures before repeating them.

Zed is a desktop code editor for developers who want coding assistance from models running on their own machine or infrastructure they control. Its Agent and Inline Assistant can use Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio or a local OpenAI-compatible server. The editor connects to these model servers, which perform inference.

llmware is a Python framework for developers building applications that answer questions using their own documents or carry out multi-step AI agent workflows. It focuses on small, specialized models that can run on laptops, edge devices, and self-hosted servers.

YouDub-webui is a self-hosted video translation and dubbing app for creators and small teams making videos available in another language. Its most established workflow is English-to-Chinese dubbing for YouTube; it also supports Chinese-to-English dubbing for Bilibili.

Whispering Tiger creates live transcripts and translations from audio on your computer for VRChat conversations and streaming captions. It can also read text in game images, so spoken dialogue and visible text can feed into the same translation workflow.

KanDev is a self-hosted workspace for developers managing AI coding tasks and reviewing the resulting changes. It organizes work on kanban boards and lets you define workflows with your own agent choices and review gates.

Vexa is a meeting bot and transcription API for developers adding meeting features to products and teams connecting calls to AI agents. Its bots join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom to capture the conversation.

Lexora is a personal desktop AI agent for research, creative projects and everyday planning as well as coding. It works toward a goal while you give direction and review its work.

bitsandbytes is a Python library for developers who need to run or fine-tune large language models on their own hardware with less memory. It works within PyTorch workflows.

Amical is an AI dictation app for people who want to write emails, messages and coding prompts by speaking. It adjusts the resulting text to the app you're using, reducing the editing needed after transcription.

WhisperJAV generates subtitles for Japanese adult videos on your own computer. It targets difficult audio with quiet dialogue, loud vocalisations and long stretches that can cause speech recognition models to invent or repeat words.

Keras is an open-source Python deep learning framework for developers and researchers who want to build and train models without tying their code to one backend. It runs locally on Linux and macOS, with WSL2 recommended for Windows. Its Apache 2.0 license permits commercial use and modification.

Netron visualizes neural network and machine learning models for developers and researchers who want to examine their structure.

Cloud CLI is a browser interface for developers who want to work with coding agents and manage projects from a computer or phone. It connects to Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor CLI and Codex, so you can access agent sessions beyond the terminal.

USearch is a vector similarity search library for developers building semantic search and recommendation systems within their own apps or servers. Its compact C++ core supports custom similarity rules and has no mandatory dependencies.

OpenWhispr is a dictation and meeting transcription app for people who want to write by voice and keep searchable records of conversations. It lets you choose local processing or cloud providers.

AutoRAG Agent searches documents and connected archives where they already live, then reads the relevant sources to produce answers with file, page or line references. It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux and suits people researching information spread across local files, messages and notes.

iZotope Nectar is a proprietary collection of vocal processing plugins for producers, audio engineers, musicians, and creators working with singing or dialogue. Its Vocal Assistant recommends a starting point for a mix that you can adjust to suit the recording. The assistant sets EQ, reduces sibilance, and creates space for the voice within the mix.

ExLlamaV2 and V3 are local LLM inference libraries for developers building AI applications or hosting models on consumer GPUs. V2 is archived for now and isn't currently maintained; development continues in V3.

Vibe is a desktop app for people who need transcripts or subtitles from recordings without uploading them to a transcription service. It handles audio and video locally, including interviews, meetings and material in different languages.
