Kinora brings motion generation, search, preview, retargeting and refinement into one workspace. The desktop client connects to your team's server, which does the generation, editing and retargeting work, so the features available depend on that server's configuration and your account. Gadget's command line and MCP tools bring the same workflow to the agents you already use.

Library: search by description or ID, preview the skeleton in 3D, and read review and quality details side by side.Illustrative UI · demo data
Describe a single-person motion in a sentence. The server rewrites the prompt, or you submit the English text as is; jobs show their queue position and progress.
IDs, keywords and cross-language semantic search share one box. Preview each skeleton and see human review, machine scores and quality flags.
Select a segment on the timeline and describe the change, or join two clips and let the generator create a natural transition.
Solve the motion for a target robot and play it on the real model. At problem frames, adjust joints, parts and keyframes, then solve and check again.
Download NPZ or BVH, or a batch ZIP with an export report. Agents can call the same capabilities through Gadget.
Editing
A bin, a monitor and a timeline form an editing-style layout. Trim in and out points, move and rotate whole clips in the top view, and check the distance and turn between two clips.
Robot refinement
Refinement uses the job's actual robot model. The timeline marks collisions, limit violations, foot slides and other issues by frame; click one to jump there, adjust step by step, and submit for solving.
Automatic checks are not a safety certification. Validate motions with your robot, controller and environment.
Built-in robot retargeting with mesh previews. Import URDF, MuJoCo XML or a ZIP with assets, stored per account, and inspect joint limits.
NPZ keeps the human source data; BVH exports skeletal animation. Multiple motions are packed into a ZIP with a per-item export report, so failures are never silently dropped.
Password and email accounts, admin tools and Gadget keys. Run the server on your own machines and keep data and backups in your hands.
Desktop
The client ships without accounts, models or local GPU inference. Generation, editing and retargeting depend on the connected server's configuration and your permissions.

.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python scripts/seed_demo.py --root runtime/demo
bash commands/kinora-server.sh doctor --fullThe local demo needs only a CPU and lets you check sign-in, the library and previews. Full generation, editing and refinement need the assets, Kimodo and licensed models from the deployment guide, verified with doctor --full.

The installers are not yet notarized for macOS or code-signed for Windows. Download them from this page or GitHub Releases and verify the SHA-256 checksum; if you see an integrity error, do not turn off your system's security protections. Existing users can upgrade in the app under Settings → Check for updates; in-app updates depend on how the connected server is configured.
