## Overview
[Tinykit](https://tinykit.studio) 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.
### Features
- **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](https://discord.gg/NfMjt3yUtn) or raise a GitHub issue.
### Star the project to give the maintainers a dopamine hit ⭐
## Getting Started
The easiest way to get started is with Railway. Otherwise, you can run it locally with Docker or Node.js.
## Quick Deploy
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](https://docs.tinykit.studio/docker) or a [VPS](https://docs.tinykit.studio/vps)
## Running Locally
### Docker
The simplest way to run Tinykit locally:
```bash
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](./deploy/docker/README.md) for more options.
### Node.js
If you prefer running directly with Node:
```bash
# 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.
## Usage
### Domain-Based Routing
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
```

| -------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `/` | Your production app |
| `/tinykit/studio` | Edit current domain's app |
| `/tinykit/dashboard` | See all apps |
| `/tinykit/settings` | LLM configuration |
### Templates
12+ starter templates to kickstart your apps:
