Planar is a local studio for image generation — from a one-click result to iterative, instruction-driven refinement. Diffusion and beyond, on the hardware you already own.
Most images aren't right on the first roll. Planar's refine loop lets you describe a change in plain language — "make the sword glow blue" — and applies it with an instruction-edit model, without re-rolling the whole image.
The same app handles a one-line prompt and a deep model-management workflow, running locally on Apple Silicon.
The first release is being prepared for macOS on Apple Silicon, with image generation running locally on your Mac.
macOS · arm64Extend Planar with WASM plugins — no network or filesystem access by default. Load one, activate it, and batch-run it across every image in your gallery.
WASM · no WASI · plugin APIBecause it speaks Hugging Face Diffusers natively, Planar runs the newest research checkpoints the day they drop — not months later.
HF Diffusers nativeBackground removal ships built in. Upscalers, segmentation and restoration models run as plugins on the same ONNX runtime.
ONNX runtime · bg removal bundledGeneration runs on your hardware. No uploads, no prompt telemetry, no queue — your work never leaves the machine.
No cloud · no accountDrive Planar from an agent session over MCP — queue jobs, poll status, stream results — while the same queue powers the UI you click through by hand.
MCP server · async job queuePoint it at a folder or a Hugging Face repo. Planar detects the architecture, picks sane VAE and sampler defaults, and loads — swapping backends without leaving your project.
Run the same project on whichever engine fits the job — a lean quantized runtime or the full research stack. Pick per project, swap anytime, no reinstall.
Planar runs any ONNX image model as a plugin, sandboxed with no network or filesystem access. One ships in the box; drop in the rest.
.onnx graph, wrap it with the plugin SDK, and it shows up as a loadable, batch-runnable plugin.The full studio is free, forever. Pro adds team and power-user features down the line — you’ll never lose access to what’s open today.
