I built an open-source, local-first AI app builder — 100% free, no lock-in
Hey PH 👋
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called CodinIT.dev.
https://www.producthunt.com/products/codinit-dev?launch=codinit-dev
It’s an open-source AI app builder that runs locally and gives you full control — no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no vendor lock-in.
What it does
- Build complete AI-powered apps locally
- Supports 500+ models: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Hugging Face, OpenRouter, and local models
- Use any model you want, mix and switch freely
- Export full projects (not just prompts or configs)
Why I built it
Most AI builders today:
- lock you into one provider
- run only in the cloud
- restrict use of tools and prompts
- restrict exports or charge for basics
CodinIT is the opposite:
- local-first
- fully open-source
- no limits
- 100% free
Deployment
- One-click deploy to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare
- Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux
