Nomi 0.24 is an open-source, local-first AI video workbench that works with your own models or local ComfyUI
Nomi is a free, AGPL-3.0 desktop studio for macOS and Windows where an agent splits your story into shots, generates keyframes and video with the models you connect, and lays them on a timeline. Version 0.24.1, released on 6 November 2026, fixes batch generation lock-ups, failed saves and Windows updates that deleted user files.
What it does
A canvas, a storyboard with one row per shot (prompt, first frame, model, duration), locked reference cards that keep a character's face across shots, a 3D director where your phone acts as the viewfinder, and an MP4 export from the timeline. You can swap the model on a single shot, and an MCP server with 24 tools lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive it.
Worth knowing
Models come from your own keys (APIMart, Kie.ai, Volcengine, ModelScope, any OpenAI-compatible relay) or your local ComfyUI, and you pay providers directly. Projects are plain folders on your disk with no account; the macOS and Windows builds are not signed, so the first launch needs an extra confirmation. The README's APIMart and sponsor links carry referral codes.
