OpenCode + Manim
OpenCode generates the Manim script from the terminal. Animo takes it from there and renders the video.
What is OpenCode
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs in your terminal. Built by SST, it supports multiple AI providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, and gives you a TUI-based agentic coding experience without vendor lock-in.
Because OpenCode is open source and model-agnostic, it has become popular among developers who want full control over their AI coding workflow without relying on proprietary tools.
Manim with OpenCode
OpenCode can write Manim Python scripts just like any other Python code. Give it a description of the animation you want and it will produce a working Manim script with scenes, objects, and transitions.
The gap is rendering. Running Manim requires a full local environment: Python, the Manim community edition package, Cairo, Pango, ffmpeg, and a LaTeX distribution. Getting all of this correctly configured across macOS and Windows is the friction point that stops most people.
Why Animo
Animo is a desktop app that comes with the entire Manim stack pre-bundled. Open it, paste the script OpenCode generated, hit render. That is the whole workflow.
Accepts any Manim script
Whether OpenCode, Claude Code, or Codex generated it, Animo accepts the Python script, compiles it, and renders the video.
No local Manim installation
Animo bundles its own isolated Manim environment. It does not touch your system Python or require any additional installs.
Iterative editing
Edit the Manim code in Animo's editor, re-render instantly, and see changes in the preview. Faster feedback than running Manim from the terminal.
Works offline
Once Animo is installed, rendering works without an internet connection. Great for working in classrooms, conferences, or planes.
How It Works
- Use OpenCode in the terminal to generate a Manim script from your description.
- Open Animo on macOS or Windows. Paste the script into the code editor.
- Click render. Animo compiles and renders the animation in its bundled environment.
- Preview and export as MP4.
OpenCode generates it. Animo renders it.
No Manim environment to configure. Download Animo and render your first animation in minutes.
