Diffusion Bee - Stable Diffusion App For AI Art
Visit Tool →
Diffusion Bee Brief overview
Diffusion Bee is a free desktop app for macOS that lets you generate and edit images with Stable Diffusion directly on your own computer. It focuses on simplicity: you install a single app, type a text prompt, and DiffusionBee turns it into AI‑generated art without needing any cloud service or complex setup.
The tool is designed specifically for Mac users and is optimized for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.), though Intel Macs are also supported. It runs fully offline, so your prompts, models, and generated images stay on your machine, which is useful for privacy‑sensitive or professional work.
