So what is it?

Fooocus2026-pinokio is a one-click installer and launcher for Fooocus2026, an AI image generation tool. Fooocus2026 is a personal fork of the open-source Fooocus project (version 2.5.5), which lets you generate images from text prompts using a locally-running AI model. Rather than setting up Python environments and dependencies yourself, this launcher uses Pinokio, a desktop app for running AI tools, to handle all the installation and startup steps automatically. Once you install Pinokio and place this package in the right folder, you get a simple dashboard with Install, Start, Update, and Reset buttons. Clicking Install downloads the code, detects your hardware, and installs the correct version of PyTorch (the AI computation library) for your GPU or CPU, whether you have an NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon machine. Clicking Start launches the image generator, and an Open Web UI button takes you to the browser interface where you type prompts and generate images. A Save Disk Space option can link the Python environment to other compatible AI tools you have installed, avoiding downloading duplicate large files. The fork adds several features not in the original Fooocus: a Save Preset button, a panel for managing text embeddings and LoRA models (specialized AI model add-ons), a wildcards editor for randomizing prompt tokens, a CivitAI model settings panel, and an asset browser for viewing generated images. The tool also exposes a local API (via Gradio, a Python web framework for AI interfaces) so developers can generate images programmatically using Python, JavaScript, or curl commands.
