Every package LTX-Desktop depends on, ranked by repo health score.

LTX-Desktop is Lightricks' open-source desktop application for generating and editing video with the LTX family of generative models. It packages a full local inference stack — model downloads, GPU execution, and a video editor — behind a polished Electron UI, so creators can run text-to-video, image-to-video, and audio-to-video generation without touching a Python environment or a Docker Compose file directly.

The app is hardware-aware by design: on launch, it checks available VRAM (Windows/Linux with an NVIDIA GPU) or free RAM (Apple Silicon) and automatically decides between local generation and an API-only fallback mode, so the same install works on a beefy workstation or a laptop with no discrete GPU. Local generation defaults to the distilled LTX 2.5 Fast checkpoint, with LTX 2.3 Fast and Pro-tier cloud models available as alternatives, and LoRA/IC-LoRA adapters let users steer style and subject without retraining anything.

Beyond generation, LTX-Desktop includes a genuine video editing surface — a timeline with gap-fill, keyframe controls, multi-keyframe blending, and native export via ffmpeg — plus a Retake feature for regenerating specific clips in place. The architecture cleanly separates a TypeScript/React renderer, a sandboxed Electron main process for OS integration, and a FastAPI/PyTorch backend that only reaches external APIs when a cloud-backed feature is explicitly used.

The project is Apache-2.0 licensed with no license-gated features in the codebase itself; the only paid component is optional use of Lightricks' own LTX API for cloud text encoding, Pro-tier cloud generation, or Retake on unsupported hardware, all clearly disclosed in-app before any request leaves the machine.
