Adds a planning agent: a small vision-language model on your Mac reads every message, looks at the
images, and decides what to do.

Highlights

  • Planning agent. Decides whether a message asks for a new image or an edit, and which images to edit
    or use as references ("make image 1 black and white", "put the teapot from the first one in the
    boat"). It can look at older images in the chat and read further back when it needs to. For an edit it
    can write a detailed description of the result for the image model.
  • It talks in the chat. A greeting or a question about the app gets a short reply; when a message is
    unclear the agent asks one question. Answer it, or just ask for something else.
  • Auto picks the image model. In Auto the agent chooses among your installed models by what the
    message needs and the free memory; a model you pick yourself is never overridden.
  • Choose the agent model. Settings → Intelligence → Agent: Qwen3-VL 8B (default from 24 GB), Qwen3.5 9B,
    Ministral 3 3B (default under 24 GB) or Qwen3-VL 4B; 2.8–6.0 GB downloads. It is loaded only while it
    plans and freed before the image job starts.
  • Messages are never dropped. A sent message shows in the chat with "Planning…"; you can keep typing.
    A message sent from another chat waits for the running image, then is planned.
  • Qwen Image 2.1 (experimental, research license). Can be added in Settings → Models: generate and
    edit with up to 10 ordered references, best at exact words in the image. It needs about 9.5 GB free
    and takes about 4 minutes per image; in Auto only the agent picks it.
  • Removed: the per-image Attach button. Refer to images by number instead, or attach files from
    your Mac.

Requirements

Apple Silicon, macOS 15+, 16 GB memory or more. Plus 2.8–6.0 GB disk for an agent model.

Install

Unzip, move to Applications, then right-click → Open the first time (beta builds are not notarized).
Download an agent model in Settings → Intelligence → Agent; without one, messages are routed by rules.
