  Pinokio is an open-source desktop application — self-described as an "AI
  Browser" — that acts as a 1-click launcher for any open-source AI project.
  Built by independent developer Cocktail Peanut (cocktailpeanut), Pinokio
  packages a terminal, package managers (Conda, Homebrew, Pip, NPM), and a
  graphical UI into a single MIT-licensed desktop app for macOS, Windows, and
  Linux with NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon GPU support. Users install AI apps
  with one click from a curated "Discover" directory of 160+ vetted scripts
  spanning image generation, video generation, text-to-speech and voice
  cloning, large language models, 3D generation, music and audio generation,
  and face swap. Pinokio is driven by a JSON-based scripting language designed
  to be both human and machine readable, with primitives like shell.run, fs,
  input, log, jump, hf (Hugging Face), notify, browser, and json that let
  publishers describe install and launch flows declaratively. Each script is
  sandboxed under ~/pinokio with isolated paths and Python virtual
  environments, and featured scripts must transfer ownership to the Pinokio
  Factory GitHub organization for admin review. Pinokio is purely client-side
  open source — there is no public REST API, no hosted commercial offering,
  and no developer SDK beyond the local script syntax and the desktop app
  itself.
