Draw Things: Offline AI Art

Draw Things, Inc.

The category-defining pick for AI Image Generation: a genuinely pro-grade local studio with text-to-image, inpainting/outpainting, ControlNet, AI video, and even on-device LoRA training, all 100% offline. Nothing else in the category matches its model breadth, control, and Apple Silicon optimization.

Runner-up

Sogni: AI Image, Video & Music

we&robot pte ltdFree

A strong, unusually broad pick that spans image, video, and music generation with a conversational assistant, and lets you stay fully offline via on-device Core ML models. Its multimodal scope and reference-based workflows set it apart from single-purpose text-to-image apps.

Also great

Image Playground

Apple Inc.Free

The default, deeply system-integrated on-device generator that is free and private for its built-in Apple-designed styles, but it is deliberately limited and poorly reviewed. It earns a place mainly as the friction-free baseline rather than a power tool.
