@Jay-Hell Jay-Hell released this 12 May 19:30

First public release of Image Asset Manager. Submitted to Apple for review on 2026-05-12 against both the Mac App Store and the iPad App Store storefronts under bundle ID `Ionic.ImageAssetManager`.

What's in this release

A native macOS + iPad SwiftUI app for AI image generation and asset management.

Generation

  • Four model tiers across Google Imagen 4 and Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, auto-routed based on whether the prompt has reference images
  • Reference images by role (style anchor / subject anchor), capped at 3 per prompt
  • Per-generation budget guardrails: maximum cost (GBP) and image count, enforced before the API call
  • Auto-routing falls back to a reference-capable model when the chosen tier can't handle the attached references

Library and organisation

  • Variant families: every asset belongs to a family of at least one; siblings surface in the inspector filmstrip
  • Clients → projects → assets with a multi-project join (one primary project per asset)
  • Tags, prompts, references all first-class entities
  • Three-panel macOS layout (source panel · grid · inspector); two-column iPad layout

Prompt library

  • Save and reuse prompts as markdown
  • Optional Claude-powered prompt refinement
  • Subject-Context-Style structured authoring, flattened to provider-ready prose

Spend dashboard

  • Swift Charts visualisation by day, model, and project (macOS)
  • Estimated and actual cost logged for every generation, in GBP
  • Read-only spend view on iPad

Storage

  • iCloud Drive by default, custom local folder if preferred
  • SQLite (GRDB) + atomic JSON index — portable and inspectable
  • API keys in Keychain only

Claude Code integration

  • Local MCP server exposes nine tools on `127.0.0.1:47821` (loopback only)
  • Read-only tools work offline against `index.json` when the app isn't running

Build

  • Marketing version 1.0, build 1
  • Built with Xcode 26.4.1 against macOS 26 and iPadOS 26 deployment targets
  • Swift 6 strict concurrency throughout

Acknowledgements

  • GRDB (SQLite wrapper) — sole external dependency, MIT licensed
