Whittl

Create desktop applications by describing what you want.

Whittl is an AI-powered tool that generates complete, working Python GUI applications from natural language descriptions. No subscriptions, no cloud lock-in - you get real .py files on your disk that you own forever.

Why Whittl?

• Your code, your files - Everything lives on your computer, not in someone else's cloud
• No monthly fees - Pay once, own it forever. You only pay for AI API usage (or use Ollama for free)
• No framework knowledge needed - Just describe your app and watch it come to life

How It Works

1. Describe your application in plain English
2. Generate working code with one click
3. Run and test instantly
4. Iterate with follow-up requests ("add a dark mode", "make the buttons bigger")
5. Build standalone executables to share

Multiple AI Backends

• Claude API - Highest quality code generation
• DeepSeek API - Fast and cost-effective
• Ollama - 100% local and offline, complete privacy

(DeepSeek and Claude require API keys. Ollama is free but needs 16GB+ RAM.)

Smart Code Editor

• Syntax highlighting
• Search & replace
• Undo/redo history
• Error highlighting with line numbers

Automatic Fixes

• Detects and fixes 24+ common code issues
• Handles missing imports, deprecated APIs, and more
• Auto-installs missing packages

One-Click Builds

• Windows: Standalone .exe files
• Windows: Full installers with Start Menu shortcuts
• Linux: Portable AppImage files

Project Management

• Save and load projects
• Version history with one-click restore
• Import existing Python projects
• 10 built-in templates to start from

What Can You Build?

Whittl generates PySide6 (Qt) desktop applications:

• Utilities and productivity tools
• Data viewers and editors
• Games (board games, card games, puzzles)
• Media players and image tools
• Calculators and converters
• Personal organizers
• And much more...

Who Is This For?

• Python developers who want GUIs without learning Qt
• Hobbyists creating desktop tools quickly
• Prototypers who need working demos fast
• Anyone who prefers local apps over web apps
