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.
Build full-stack web apps by describing them
Describe your app in plain English and Softgen asks clarifying questions, drafts a development plan, and generates the full codebase.
Managed Supabase for database and user authentication, plus Stripe payments, are wired in with no code required.
Every project lives in a real GitHub repository you own, so you can branch, merge, and open it in Cursor or VS Code.
Choose from a large set of AI models, including leading Claude, GPT, and Gemini releases, rather than being locked to one.
