Draw Things

Fully Local/Offline Image Generation: Supports 100% private, offline image inference using only the user's device's internal Apple Silicon Neural Engine and GPU, without relying on cloud servers or data transfer.

  • Fully Local/Offline Image Generation: Supports 100% private offline image inference using only the user's device's Apple Silicon Neural Engine and GPU, without relying on cloud servers or data transfer.
  • Metal and MPS Hardware Optimization: To maximize the hardware potential of Apple Silicon chipsets in macOS and iOS environments, the Metal API and MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) acceleration layers have been independently redesigned at the engine level.
  • Native Support for the Latest High-Performance Open Models: Supports immediate use of major existing diffusion model weights, such as Stable Diffusion 1.5/2.1, SDXL, Flux.1 (Schnell/Dev), Hunyuan DiT, and SD 3.5, through the in-app downloader or manual import of local files (.safetensors).
  • Rich Advanced Generation Control Interface: Features built-in ControlNet application, multi-LoRA weight fusion and real-time parameter adjustment, Inpainting, Outpainting, and a Real-Time Canvas editing environment.
  • Metal FlashAttention v2 Implementation: Implements the Metal-based FlashAttention v2 architecture, which significantly improves memory transfer bottlenecks, resulting in approximately 20% to 40% faster results compared to other open-source virtual environment runners on the same hardware.
  • Intelligent Memory Swapping and Quantization Optimization: Incorporates high-efficiency quantization (Quantized) model automatic bundling and mapping techniques, such as Q4_K and Q6_K, to enable large models like Flux.1 to run even on entry-level devices with 8GB/16GB of Unified Memory.

💻 System Requirements

🧠RAM

Apple Silicon Mac의 통합 메모리(Unified Memory) 공유 방식 (VRAM을 별도 요구하지 않으나 8GB 이상 할당 권장)

💾Storage

앱 자체 용량 약 100MB 내외, 로컬 확산 모델 보관을 위해 최소 20GB~50GB 이상의 스토리지 공간 권장

Installation

4-1. Quick Start

Draw Things는 복잡한 터미널 커맨드 입력이나 의존성 라이브러리 설치 과정 없이 Mac App Store를 통해 즉시 원클릭 설치가 가능합니다.

Mac App Store를 통해 Draw Things 설치 페이지 기동

open "macappstores://apps.apple.com/app/draw-things-offline-ai-art/id6444050820"

4-2. 상세 설치

1. macOS 환경에서 Safari 또는 브라우저를 열고 App Store 다운로드 링크로 이동합니다. https://apps.apple.com/app/draw-things-offline-ai-art/id6444050820 2. '받기(Get)' 버튼을 클릭해 기기 내부로 네이티브 애플리케이션 설치를 진행합니다. 3. 설치 완료 후 앱을 실행하면 기본 Stable Diffusion 1.5 혹은 라이트 가중치가 자동 로드됩니다. 4. 외부에서 확보한 모델(.safetensors) 임포트 프로세스: - 앱 좌측 사이드바 'Model' 드롭다운 메뉴 선택 → 'Manage...' 클릭 - 'Import Custom Model...'을 클릭한 뒤 프라이빗 스토리지(NAS 또는 로컬 디스크)에 저장된 Flux.1 혹은 SDXL 파일 경로 설정 - 파일 포맷에 부합하는 가중치 타입(Model, LoRA 등)을 지정한 후 즉시 오프라인 생성을 개시합니다.
