What you can ask

Jobs your AI can’t do on its own.

Chat assistants can write the text or the command — but they can’t save a real file or run a video converter on your computer. GUI Hub gives them that, with programs millions of people already trust.

How it works

Ask your AI. Or click it yourself.

In your AI chat

Your assistant picks the right tool, fills in the details and tells you when the file is ready.

Make a 6-slide PowerPoint from this outline and save it on my Desktop.
calling pandoc_write → ~/Desktop/launch-plan.pptx
Done — launch-plan.pptx is on your Desktop with 6 slides, one per heading.
Now compress demo.mov for email.
calling ffmpeg_compress → ~/Desktop/demo-small.mp4
Saved demo-small.mp4 — 212 MB down to 18 MB.

Illustration. Tool names are exactly what GUI Hub provides.

As a simple app

Pick a file, choose plain-language options, press one button. Great for anyone who doesn’t use AI.

The Image Compressor in GUI Hub

Private by design

Files are processed on your computer and never uploaded. No account, no tracking.

Proven engines

FFmpeg, Typst, Pandoc and DuckDB and more — official releases, checked by SHA-256 before first use.

No setup

One install gives your AI 29 tools. No Python, no config files, no separate server per tool. New tools arrive automatically.

Install

Ready in two minutes.

Free to try — every tool works 3 times before you decide.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add gui-hub -- npx -y https://guihub.cc/mcp.tgz

3The desktop app

Point-and-click forms for every tool, plus a Use with AI button that connects Claude Desktop or Cursor for you.

Download for Windows
Windows or macOS shows a warning when I open the app
  1. Windows “protected your PC”: click More info → Run anyway.
  2. macOS “can’t be verified”: click Done, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
  3. Linux: allow executing the AppImage (Properties → Permissions), then run it.

New independent apps get this one-time caution. The full source is public on GitHub.

Questions

What does it actually do?

It lets your AI assistant (or you, in a simple app) run 9 trusted open-source programs on your own computer: image compressor (Caesium), send big files (croc), spreadsheet & data toolkit (DuckDB), rename many files (F2), video toolkit (FFmpeg), google photos → immich (immich-go), document converter (Pandoc), pdf toolkit (pdfcpu), pdf maker (Typst). Ask in plain words; the file appears where you asked.

Which AI apps does it work with?

Any app that supports MCP, the standard way AI assistants use tools: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (Copilot agent mode), Windsurf and others.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs on your computer. There is no account and no tracking. Only tools whose job is the network (sending a file, uploading to your own Immich server) use it.

How does the free version work?

Every tool works fully 3 times on each computer — through your AI or in the app — and Send Big Files is free forever. When you run out, your AI tells you; $9 once unlocks that product, or $19 once for every product.

Is it a subscription?

No. Each product is $9 once, yours to keep, including tools added to it later. If it is not for you, email within 30 days for a full refund.

Why not use the free command-line programs directly?

You can — they are credited on every page. GUI Hub saves you learning their options, installs and verifies them for you, and connects them to your AI with one click instead of config files.

Give your AI hands.
