Overview

Diffusion Bee is a free, open-source AI image generator for macOS that runs locally—no cloud required. It uses Stable Diffusion models to turn text prompts into stunning art, with support for custom models, image-to-image transformation, inpainting, and outpainting. The intuitive interface lets users adjust parameters like resolution, steps, and seed for precise control. Optimized for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) for fast performance, it also works on Intel Macs (with slower speeds). Since it operates offline, it ensures privacy for your prompts and creations, making it ideal for artists, designers, or hobbyists experimenting with AI art without subscriptions.
