What is it?
Toonflow is a self-hosted creation platform for short dramas, motion comics, and short videos. Writers draft scripts and storyboards in text nodes, manage character and scene assets, and generate images and video clips, all arranged on a single infinite canvas.
The project supports local deployment on desktop, Android, Docker, and Linux servers. Users can connect third-party model APIs as well as local ComfyUI and LLM setups, and extend workflows with AI agents, MCP connections, and a plugin system. The interface is available in 21 languages.
The tool is released under the MIT license. Model API calls may incur third-party fees, while local models require their own compute resources.
