What CoAnimator is
CoAnimator is a desktop app for making product demos, launch videos, tutorials, and animations with AI agents. Users can build a video scene by scene, then add effects, captions, and overlays to real footage. Rendering happens on the user's machine, and local renders are unlimited. The app includes a studio and the coa command-line interface, with projects stored as plain files on disk. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The free plan costs $0 forever and limits exports to 720p with a “Made with CoAnimator” watermark. The $99 one-time lifetime licence supports exports up to 4K without a watermark, includes premium plugins and research mode, covers two devices, and provides one year of updates. AI voiceover is available. The maker lists integrations with Claude, Codex, Antigravity, OpenClaw, and other agents. Plugin providers bill through users' own accounts, and plugin use may send inputs to those services. The maker says project files, media, renders, and API keys stay on the user's machine, while the app sends licence checks, update checks, and crash reports.
