About Draw Things

Draw Things is a native Apple app that runs open image and video models such as Stable Diffusion, FLUX and Wan directly on iPhone, iPad and Mac, using Apple's frameworks to make on-device generation practical. It offers text-to-image, image-to-image, an infinite canvas for inpainting and outpainting, image-to-video, style transfer and on-device LoRA training, with models downloaded inside the app. The core app is free and works offline, so prompts and images stay on your device. A free account adds cloud compute for heavier jobs, a paid Draw Things+ subscription raises cloud limits and allows custom LoRAs in the cloud, and an enterprise edition supports on-premise deployment. It is aimed at Apple users who want a private, local generator without setting up Python tools, though older devices will be slow with large models.

Best for: Apple users who want private, offline generation without command-line setup.
