Pinokio Launches Remote: Access Local AI Apps from Anywhere
Pinokio author cocktailpeanut released Pinokio Remote on November 3. After updating to the latest version, users can open pinokio.co in a browser on any device—phone, tablet, or otherwise—to remotely view, start, and stop open-source AI apps running locally on another machine. Demo screenshots show a mobile device managing apps on a remote Windows 11 host (equipped with an EPYC 7543P and an RTX A-series GPU).
Confirmed
- Pinokio Remote is officially live; simply update Pinokio to the latest version to use it
- It lets you remotely access and control locally running open-source AI apps from any device's browser, with the ability to view, start, and stop them
- The access point is pinokio.co; the demo's remote host runs Windows 11 (EPYC 7543P + RTX A-series)
Why it matters
- Pinokio is a leading platform for one-click installing and launching local AI apps, supporting the discovery, installation, and running of all kinds of open-source AI projects. The Remote feature frees locally deployed apps from being tied to a single machine, effectively reshaping "local AI" into "your own hardware + access from anywhere"
- Responding to claims that "local AI is dead," the author countered with "Local AI is over. Long live local AI.," explaining the philosophy: local was never the point—ownership is. The AI runs on hardware you own, where no one can see it, tamper with it, or charge you for it. This statement also addresses the ongoing debate between local AI and cloud services
