Project Overview
OpenCreator is built for individuals and teams who want to keep creative and development work running locally. Instead of reimplementing an Agent loop, it uses Codex CLI as the execution engine and adds a stable local Runtime, a visual workspace, and a Desktop host around it.
OpenCreator offers two connected ways to work:
- Content workspace: use visual tools and creation templates for video translation and downloading, image and video generation, voiceovers, article and social post writing, short-video scripting, and stick figure animation.
- Agent conversation: start and guide creative or development tasks in natural language, organize conversations by project, keep Runs working in the background, and manage approvals, attachments, files, Skills, MCP, schedules, notifications, memory, and diagnostics from one place.
Web is the single frontend implementation. Desktop loads the same Web build and adds only capabilities that require the operating system, such as directory selection, window lifecycle, tray behavior, and native notifications. With the same data and content viewport, both platforms share the same general UI and Runtime behavior.
Project Highlights
-
🤖 Codex Native: Reuse the Codex Agent loop, models, reasoning, tool calls, conversations, Skills, and MCP without maintaining a second execution engine.
-
🚀 Ready-to-Use Desktop App: Launch OpenCreator directly from the desktop app with Codex CLI included; the local Runtime starts on demand and prepares a default project automatically.
-
🔄 Managed Runtime Components: Inspect bundled, active, and latest yt-dlp versions, check for updates periodically, and update manually while keeping the current working version available if an update fails.
-
🎨 Multimodal Creation: Create and manage video, images, audio, subtitles, and documents through one connected workflow.
-
🧩 Creation Templates: Start creating images and videos from reusable templates without setting up prompts and settings from scratch.
-
🔗 Dual-Mode Workflow: Work through either the visual workspace or Agent conversation while one shared state machine keeps steps, progress, and results synchronized.
-
🕘 Versioning: Every revision creates a new version while preserving earlier settings and outputs for review and comparison.
-
🧩 Reusable Skills: Use video workflow Skills, extend the Agent with your own Skills, and manage MCP through Codex-native configuration.
-
🧠 Memory: Keep global, project, and thread memory with summaries and reproducible Run input snapshots.
-
🔐 Local Security: Keep data, attachments, and logs local by default, with approvals and redacted diagnostics.
-
🌐 Localized Interface: Use the Web or Desktop client in Simplified Chinese, English, or Swedish, with automatic system-language detection or manual selection.
Creator Tools
The current release includes ten creator tools. Available models and services depend on your local Codex environment and AI service settings.
Open the Dashboard to write articles, Xiaohongshu posts, or short-video scripts; create stick figure animations; translate or download videos; generate thumbnails, images, or videos; and create voiceovers with Smart Dubbing.
More creator tools are continuously being added.
Creation Templates
Start creating from a template instead of building every prompt and setting from scratch. Browse featured templates by category, including video creation and image design, to find a starting point for your idea.
The collection brings together templates created by OpenCreator and by independent creators. Third-party templates credit their creators and link to the original source on the template detail page.
Open a template to preview its example result and inspect its prompt, settings, tags, author, and original source. Select Use this template to start creating with it, then adjust the inputs for your own work.
Skills
Creator tools provide visual controls; Skills give the Agent reusable instructions and tool workflows. OpenCreator includes video-production Skills in the repository, alongside support for managing local Codex Skills.
The repository's skills/ directory contains reusable instructions for Agents operating
