About Diffusionbee Stable Diffusion UI

Diffusion Bee is a macOS desktop app that runs Stable Diffusion, an AI image generation model, locally on Intel and M1/M2 Macs. It is distributed as an open source repository and includes a one-click installer that the source describes as requiring no extra dependencies or technical knowledge.

The app supports several Stable Diffusion model families, including SD 1.x, SD 2.x, SD XL, inpainting, ControlNet, and LoRA, and models can be downloaded from within the app. Image generation tools include text-to-image, image-to-image, in-painting, out-painting, upscaling, and a generation history. According to the project's README, data is not sent to the cloud when generating images, except for requests to download model weights or when the user chooses to upload an image. Because Diffusion Bee is a GUI wrapper on Stable Diffusion, the Stable Diffusion license terms (CreativeML OpenRAIL M) apply to its outputs.
