Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. Modly is a local, open-source desktop application (Windows/Linux) that converts photos into 3D mesh models using AI models running entirely on your GPU — no cloud, no API keys required. The app runs as an Electron shell over a local Python FastAPI server. Extensions are GitHub repos with a manifest.json + generator.py that plug into the extension system. Extensions are GitHub repositories containing: The backend runs locally. Key endpoints used by the Electron frontend: Modly runs fully locally — no environment variables or API keys needed. GPU/CUDA is auto-detected by PyTorch in extensions. Relevant configuration lives in: If you need to configure the backend port or extension directory, check the Electron main process config (typically src/main/index.ts ) for constants like API_PORT or EXTENSIONS_DIR .
