how is this different than DiffusionBee?

Ironically, the FAQ makes a better sell for DiffusionBee – I don't know if the UI can really be worse when it's just a textbox then a bunch of images.

I can't use the App in the OP since it's for M1 only and I have an Intel Mac. But I appreciate the pointer to DiffusionBee! Also, this is the first time I've seen the author's website - and he has some nice apps available! Definitely going to play with some of these.

This author has very high opinions on what he thinks a better UI is. He has some other app, where he sells his application better because it has better UI than mine.

I came here to ask the same. DiffusionBee works, gets good updates, and has options line in-painting, and out-painting.

Thanks for mentioning DiffusionBee. These posts are helpful even if it's just to find an alternative.

i just tried diffusionbee and i must say the results are really bad. Images have tons of artifacts and don't ressemble anything i've seend online.

Are there customization to be done to obtain good results ?

> Can you support inpainting?

> I don't plan to support this. Check out DiffusionBee if you need more functionality (if you can live with worse UI and a non-native app).

According to the link itself, it has fewer features but better UI than DiffusionBee.

I guess you have to download it to see how much "better" the UI is; I couldn't find any evidence of that on the App Store or the developer's site.

And by "non-native" I guess they mean that DiffusionBee is wrapping non-Swift code, or what? It certainly feels like a (pretty simple) native app, and for what it does I find the UI plenty good enough.

I was going to install this but it requires macOS 13.1, and I try to stay one version behind Apple's "improvements" so I'll have to wait.

DiffusionBee is an Electron app with a Python backend, so it’s not native in any sense.

It’s a nice app though!

I have a comparison here: https://sindresorhus.com/amazing-ai#diffusionbee

nobody has any info but given its from Sindre i’d put a small amount of money on this using the Swift native reimplementation from Apple rather than the original python one ported to Apple Silicon with an unknown bag of tricks.

but its just a guess, i have no proof; entirety of my reasoning is this wouldnt be sufficiently different from diffusionbee to work on if this were not the case

Yes, it's using https://github.com/apple/ml-stable-diffusion

+1 for diffusionbee. Works great on my m1 2020
