## What it is
Pinokio is a desktop application that acts as a one-click launcher and browser for open-source AI apps, letting users discover, install, run, and manage local AI tools and agents through a friendly UI instead of the terminal. It runs everything locally with isolated environments and supports a vetted script directory plus agent-driven automation.

## Use cases
- install and run local AI apps with one click
- run stable diffusion or video generation models locally without setup
- manage multiple versions of AI tools side by side
- let AI agents control and automate local apps
- discover vetted open-source AI launchers in a searchable directory
- run LLMs and TTS models on my own machine without the terminal

## When to choose
- you want to run open-source AI apps locally without dealing with dependencies, environments, or the command line
- you need to install and manage many AI tools across macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you want isolated, self-contained installs that keep everything on your own machine

## When to avoid
- you need production server deployments rather than local desktop usage
- you only run apps with official installers and don't need a launcher
- you require strict security guarantees beyond the script review process, since scripts can execute arbitrary commands
