DiffusionBee

DiffusionBee is a desktop application that runs Stable Diffusion and related image models entirely on a Mac, with no cloud service involved. It packages the model downloads, a generation interface and an editing canvas into one installer, so a user can produce images from a text prompt within minutes of installing it. The vendor states that prompts, models and generated images never leave the device. The application covers considerably more than basic generation. It includes text to image, image to image, generative fill for adding or removing objects inside a selected region, an image upscaler, image variants, control images for enforcing a specific structure, an illusion generator, animation and video tools, and custom model training on a user's own pictures so that particular people, objects or styles can be reproduced. Because everything runs locally, throughput depends on hardware: the vendor states that an 8 GB M1 MacBook Air takes around 30 seconds per image, and that faster machines are considerably quicker. There is no pricing page and no paid plan. DiffusionBee is distributed as a free download for macOS 13.1 or later, with separate builds for Apple silicon and Intel machines, and the project is published as open source on GitHub. Intel Macs are supported but noted as very slow without a dedicated graphics chip. A Windows build is offered as a waitlist signup rather than a release. Generated images may be used freely provided the user complies with the model license that ships with the application.
