Alis Studio v0.5.3

A local, on-device image-generation studio for Apple silicon (MLX). Self-contained — double-click to run, no Python or pip to set up.

What's new

• New brand icon: a pine tree + a generative sparkle + a STUDIO wordmark on the clay squircle — generated by Alis Studio itself. The in-app logo now matches it, sharing one identity with the project's pine-tree profile imagery.

Install

1. Download Alis-Studio-0.5.3.dmg, open it, drag Alis Studio to Applications.
2. First launch (Gatekeeper): this build is ad-hoc signed, so macOS blocks it once — right-click → Open (then confirm), or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Alis Studio.app".
3. The first image downloads the model weights from Hugging Face.

Requires an Apple-silicon Mac (M1+) with ≥ 24 GB unified memory.

Features

• Self-contained app bundling its own Python + all deps. 4 models: Krea 2 Turbo · Qwen-Image · FLUX.1 schnell / dev.
• Stop button; optional on-device prompt enhancer (Qwen3-4B; translates non-English prompts, memory-gated, off by default).
• Includes the v0.5.2 fix for the "There is no Stream(gpu, 0)" generation crash.

⚠️ Ad-hoc signed (use the Gatekeeper step). Model weights download on first generation.
