Local Mac image generation

This cluster consists of macOS apps for Apple Silicon that generate images from text prompts entirely locally, without cloud services, API keys, or terminal use.

Traction is led by qwen-image-2.1-studio with 38 stars, followed by qwen-image-studio (25 stars) and imagegen-mac (7 stars).
