About This Project
TinyKit is a comprehensive, self-hosted development platform that empowers developers to rapidly build AI-driven applications without relying on external services. Built with Svelte and powered by PocketBase, it combines an intuitive app builder interface with a fully integrated backend solution, eliminating the need to configure separate database and storage infrastructure.
The platform stands out by offering batteries-included functionality that covers the entire development stack. You get a realtime database, file storage, authentication, and CRUD operations out of the box, all wrapped in a developer-friendly design system. This makes it ideal for quickly prototyping internal tools, personal projects, or production applications without vendor lock-in.
What makes TinyKit particularly valuable is its agentic AI capabilities that help accelerate development workflows. Unlike commercial alternatives that charge per seat or usage, TinyKit gives you complete control over your data and infrastructure while maintaining the productivity benefits of modern AI-assisted development tools.
The self-hosted nature means you can deploy on your own infrastructure, customize every aspect of the platform, and integrate it seamlessly with your existing tech stack. Whether you're building a CMS, internal dashboard, or customer-facing application, TinyKit provides the foundation without the complexity of piecing together multiple services.
