Free, open-source AI app builder that runs on your own machine
Apps live in a normal project folder on your machine, so you can work offline with local models and open files in any editor.
Bring your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, or run local models through Ollama, LM Studio and similar runtimes.
Connect a database with authentication and get instant schemas and migrations without leaving the app builder.
The tool checks for injection flaws, unsafe patterns and misconfigurations against OWASP-style rules before you deploy.

Describe the product you want and the agent plans, codes, tests and iterates on a working full-stack application.
Authentication, databases, hosting and monitoring work out of the box, so apps scale without separate DevOps work.
A no-cost mode lets you brainstorm and build without spending tokens before upgrading to stronger models.
Connect services such as OpenAI, Stripe and Google Workspace in minutes rather than writing glue code.
