About Toonflow-app

Toonflow is a free, open-source app for AI short dramas and comic dramas. It puts your script, characters, scenes and clips on one infinite canvas. You can run it on Windows, macOS, Docker or a Linux server. The catch: it's mid-refactor, and port 3000 has no login.

Best for: Independent producers who want to run the whole script-to-clip pipeline on their own machine.

What it does

  • Keeps scripts, characters, scenes and clips on one infinite canvas
  • Writes scripts and manages assets, images and video in one place
  • Connects to third-party model APIs, local ComfyUI or local LLMs
  • Adds nodes and tools from a plugin marketplace
  • Connects outside tools through MCP (a plug-in standard for AI apps)
  • Opens up agent prompts and tools so you can change how agents behave
