About Draw Things
Draw Things is a native iOS and macOS app that runs Stable Diffusion image generation entirely offline on Apple Silicon, keeping generation data on-device.
Its edge is that on-device, offline approach paired with support for custom LoRA and ControlNet models for guided and fine-tuned generation, plus inpainting and outpainting workflows inside the app.
It suits Apple Silicon Mac and iOS users who want local, private image generation and is free to use. It will not work for you on Windows, Linux, or Android, since it is limited to Apple devices. Note two other trade-offs: it is free but not open source, so the model cannot be self-modified or audited, and it requires downloading and storing large Stable Diffusion checkpoint files locally, which can consume significant disk space.
Compared with cloud image generators, Draw Things keeps the whole pipeline on your own Apple hardware rather than sending prompts to a server.
