About DiffusionBee
DiffusionBee is a macOS application that runs Stable Diffusion locally to create images from text prompts. It bundles several image tools in one package, including text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformation, generative fill, upscaling, image variants, and video tools.
According to its homepage, prompts, models, and generated images stay on the user's device, and images are generated locally with nothing sent to the cloud. Custom model training on the user's own images is also described as running locally. Generation speed depends on hardware: the homepage gives about 30 seconds per image on an 8GB M1 MacBook Air and says faster results come from higher-spec machines. The app requires macOS 13.1 or higher, and Apple silicon is recommended.
