title: Streamlit Launcher
---

:::info Enterprise Feature
The Streamlit Launcher App is available under the ClearML Enterprise plan.
:::

[Streamlit](https://streamlit.io/) is a framework for creating visual web interfaces for your models. The ClearML Streamlit 
launcher application spins up a Streamlit execution environment and serves your Streamlit app on a machine of your choice. 
Once you start a Streamlit launcher instance, you will be provided with an [externally accessible link](#traffic_router) to your Streamlit app, 
where you can make use of your models.

The Streamlit launcher monitors the Streamlit app activity and shuts down if it is inactive for a specified maximum idle 
time.

:::important Task Traffic Router
The Streamlit Launcher relies on the ClearML Traffic Router which facilitates user authentication, and redirects requests 
to the IP/port served by the Streamlit app. 
:::
