Run your own personal Internet on Mac, Windows, and Linux with one click.

Pinokio is a new software platform that enables users to run their own “personal Internet” locally on Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with a single click[1]. The platform allows users to run web servers, AI models, and command-line applications directly on their local machines[2].

Released in version 5.0, Pinokio positions your personal computer as “the Cloud,” letting you operate various applications and services on your localhost rather than relying on remote cloud services[1:1][2:1].

    Electron and react native….no. Just no. If you plan to eventually put it on the net and need the test it day to day locally fine this could make sense. Otherwise I feel like it’s catering to a far more complex user experience with a shit ton of overhead. (Compare how the windows 11 start menu works to literally everything else)

      My point is more about the ease of development rather than the quality of the UX. Like I said, I prefer native applications but a lot of these open source projects likely wouldn’t exist otherwise (or they’d be Windows-only with no remote hosting options)
