Find what fits your machine on the tools page — pick your hardware from the first menu.

A single download from the App Store that runs Stable Diffusion, SDXL and FLUX on your own device, including on a phone. No Python, no command line, no environment to break.

It is closed source and made by a very small team, which is the trade for how well it works. Nothing is uploaded: the models run on the device, which is also why a big generation will warm your hands.
