About LTX-Desktop

LTX Desktop is a desktop app for making video with LTX models. You can run it locally on a supported NVIDIA GPU or Apple Silicon Mac. If your machine isn't supported, it falls back to the paid LTX cloud API. It's in beta, so expect breaking changes.

Best for: Anyone with a 16GB+ VRAM NVIDIA GPU or a 15GB+ free-RAM Apple Silicon Mac who wants a GUI instead of a ComfyUI graph.

What it does

  • Generates video from text, images or audio
  • Edits video with Retake (regenerating part of a clip)
  • Keeps your edits in video editing projects
  • Makes and edits images, including image-to-image
  • Runs LTX 2.5 Fast locally by default; switch to 2.3 Fast in Settings
  • Adds LoRA (small add-on models) and IC-LoRA styles from a built-in library

Quickstart

Rewritten from the README. Check the repo for the latest steps.

  1. 1
    Download the latest installer from GitHub Releases and install LTX Desktop.
  2. 2
    Launch the app and finish first-run setup; sign in to Hugging Face if asked, since 2.5 weights are gated.
  3. 3
    Set up text encoding: get a free LTX API key at the LTX Console, or download the Local Text Encoder in Settings.
  4. 4
    For development, install Node.js, uv, Python 3.13+ and Git, then run pnpm setup:dev.
  5. 5
    Start the app with pnpm dev, or pnpm dev:debug for inspector and debugpy.
