Image generation used to mean a cloud service, a monthly bill and your prompts on someone else's server. Not anymore. A state-of-the-art image model now fits in about **33 GB of memory**. That's a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio with 64 GB of unified memory.

ImageGen is a native macOS app that downloads the model, runs it on your Mac's GPU (Metal) and gives you a clean studio to work in. It also runs an MCP server, so your coding agent can make images while you work.

Features

  • Fully on-device. Prompts and images never leave your Mac. Works offline once the model is downloaded.
  • Text to image with strong typography. Text inside images actually comes out readable.
  • Image editing. Change an image with an instruction, or combine up to 10 reference images.
  • **Transparent PNGs
