The open-source agentic app builder.
Think Lovable, Replit, or v0, but self-hostable and self-contained.
Build at /tinykit, deploy to /

Tinykit is an open-source platform for building and deploying web apps with AI. It manages code, database, content, and deployment under the hood, letting you focus on the details.

• Agentic Builder: Prompt the AI to write code, create fields and tables, and wire it all up.
• Self-Hosted: Your server, your data. Powered by PocketBase. Docker optional.
• Realtime Database: Auto-generated tables that sync in real-time.
• Code Editor: Direct access to your source. One Svelte file per app.
• Content Fields: Edit text without touching code—like a mini CMS.
• Design System: Update colors, fonts, shadows from a visual editor.
• Time Travel: Snapshots on every change. Undo anything.
• Image Uploads: Built-in asset storage for images and files.
• Bring Your Own LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini (more coming soon).
• Backend Functionality (soon) — Background jobs, CRON, server-side routes
• Authentication (soon) — Email and OAuth signup in your apps
• Showcase (soon) — Browse and one-click install community apps
• LLM Functionality (soon) — AI-powered features and agentic workflows in your apps

Run hundreds of apps on one server. Point any domain → get a working app.

Tinykit is in early alpha and evolving every day. Your suggestions, ideas, and reported bugs help us immensely. Join the conversation on Discord or raise a GitHub issue.

The easiest way to get started is with Railway. Otherwise, you can run it locally with Docker or Node.js.

One-click one-minute deploy on Railway, no config necessary. Configure your LLM from the app (or add key as ENV var).

Or deploy with Docker or a VPS

The simplest way to run Tinykit locally:

git clone https://github.com/tinykit-studio/tinykit.git
cd tinykit/deploy/docker
docker-compose up -d

This starts Tinykit on port 5173. Visit http://localhost:5173/setup to complete first-time setup.

See deploy/docker/README.md for more options.

If you prefer running directly with Node:

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/tinykit-studio/tinykit.git
cd tinykit
npm install

# Start dev server (auto-downloads PocketBase)
npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:5173/setup to complete setup.

Each app gets its own domain. Point multiple domains to one Tinykit server:

calculator.myserver.com/                → Serves calculator app
calculator.myserver.com/tinykit/studio  → Edit calculator app

blog.myserver.com/                      → Serves blog app
blog.myserver.com/tinykit/studio        → Edit blog app
