airunner

What it does

Two things in one desktop workspace: a layered canvas for image generation, and a companion whose name, personality, voice and memory you define. It all runs on your machine, so nothing you type or draw leaves it. The price is hardware — check the requirements before installing, because an underpowered GPU means slow or nothing. Individual image models carry their own terms, which decide commercial use, and likenesses of real people are off-limits without consent. GPL-3.0.

airunner FAQ

Is airunner free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use airunner?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does airunner work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can airunner run offline?

Yes. Everything happens on your own machine, so your data is never sent to an outside server. That makes it usable for material you cannot share externally.

Can I use airunner commercially?

The licence is GPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.

How it compares

The conditions that decide whether you can actually use it, side by side.

"Sends data out" means your input is uploaded to someone's server. Pick "No" when the material cannot leave your organisation.
