About the project

A local app for editing and generating images from text descriptions on your own GPU, with no Python or cloud. Powered by Qwen-Image 2.1, it includes an MCP server for AI agents.

Useful for
  • Remove an object from a photo by painting over it and describing it in text
  • Replace an item in a photo without changing the rest of the image
  • Generate an image from a text prompt locally on your GPU

2.1 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 11:14 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02550October 8, 2026October 18, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 05:03–11:08: 119 → 126 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +14 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 10 days old and already has 126 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • New listing on glama.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 121.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
