Paint, inpaint, and extend images on one infinite canvas instead of juggling separate tabs.
Build custom generation pipelines visually, similar in spirit to ComfyUI but with a friendlier default UI.
Browse, install, and organize checkpoints, LoRAs, and ControlNets from inside the app.
The same engine underlies several paid products — the open-source core stays free to self-host.
