FOR THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD

Your work deserves to be used.

You bring the ideas and the code. PicoRunner helps more people discover what your app can do and get started with it.

Share a launch button from your README. Keep your project, credit, and community connected to the original source.

Share your app

The project comes first.

Every catalog page points people back to the creators’ repository, presents the app in its own words, and makes its license visible.

A little appreciation goes a long way.

Found an app you love? Star the project on GitHub, share it with someone, or explore how to contribute.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things you might be wondering.

What does “open source” mean?

These are apps whose code is shared publicly, so people can see how they work and, depending on the license, change or contribute to them. You don’t need to read that code to use the app. PicoRunner helps with the setup.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You choose an app and approve its setup in PicoRunner. It takes care of the installation steps it supports. Some apps need extra details, such as a login or an AI service key; check the app’s page before you start.

Is PicoRunner only for Mac?

Mac is the first supported platform, not the limit of the project. More platforms are planned. Today’s download works on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 13.5 or later.

Will every open-source project work?

Compatibility depends on the project and its requirements. Each app page includes setup requirements and source or runtime evidence. You can also bring a public GitHub link or a local folder; projects outside the collection may need additional setup.

Where do my apps and data live?

PicoRunner keeps your app library and downloads on your computer. Individual apps may use online services. Check their privacy details before adding personal information.
