NodeTool Cloud is in alpha. Try it

Download NodeTool Studio

The desktop studio, free and open source under AGPL-3.0. Your projects, keys, and files stay on your machine.

Rather not install anything? NodeTool Cloud runs the same workspace in a browser tab. It is in alpha, so Studio is the one to use for work you are being paid for.

What it needs

An API key, or none at all

Open the app, import a workflow, and read every node in it before you connect anything. Running a workflow that calls a hosted model needs a key for that provider, and you pay the provider directly.

Room for the app, and nothing else

The installer size is on each button above. Open-weight models are an optional extra: download them only if you want to run inference on your own machine, and allow roughly 20 GB for a starter set. Nothing downloads on its own.

No graphics card required

A GPU only matters for local models. If you work through hosted providers, a plain laptop is enough — the rendering happens at the provider you chose.

Opening it the first time

  1. ·Open the .dmg and drag NodeTool to Applications.

  2. ·SmartScreen may warn on a new release — choose More info, then Run anyway.

  2. ·Run it directly, or install the Flatpak from the same release.

Installed it. Now what?

Each recipe is a chain of workflows you import as one file, with the run it produced shown on the page. Import one, read it, and add a key when you want to run it.
