Pinokio

What it does

Pinokio is a launcher for AI apps and agents that run locally. Its feed shows apps from maintainers, such as Captionz for batch image captioning with local vision models and MiniMax H3 Studio for video generation. Each app gets a launcher that installs and starts it, so you do not set up Python environments by hand.

Pinokio is a launcher for AI apps and agents that run on your own computer. The homepage shows a feed of apps posted by maintainers, and each entry describes what the app does and what it needs. For example, the Captionz launcher clones a repo, creates a venv, installs requirements, and starts a web or Gradio interface. Some apps need extra software or hardware. Captionz needs Pinokio installed and either Ollama with a vision model or its own llama.cpp backend, and it downloads a llama-server build and a model file on first use. The homepage shows Sign in and Create account links, but it does not say an account is required to use the launcher. There is no pricing page, so the cost of Pinokio itself is not stated on the site. Check each app's requirements before you install it.
