MindCraft Studio is a native macOS app for creating AI images locally, designed with usability and workflow in mind. It runs Stable Diffusion, FLUX, and Z-Image fully locally with Metal acceleration. MindCraft Studio focuses on a smooth local workflow: – Full local inference (privacy-first) – Thoughtful defaults and practical presets – Optimized memory usage for Apple Silicon – Support for LoRA, ControlNet, img2img, and more
"Compressing the entire universe into your Mac..." :)
Downloaded and tried this morning as I'm psyched about the local / privacy angle. Unfortunately I got hung up in the install below - seen that before? Sat there for 20 mins and never got to 100%

Thanks for trying it out — and sorry about the hiccup 🙏
When it gets stuck at 99%, it’s usually no longer downloading data. At that point the app is doing a final readiness / verification step for the model files (including integrity checks after the download completes), which can sometimes appear “stuck”, especially on the first run.
Could you try relaunching the app and resuming the download? The progress should be preserved.
If that doesn’t work, you can:
• Skip the tour
• Go to Settings → Base Model
• Try Resume
As a last resort, deleting and re-downloading the model should also work reliably.
I’m actively improving the progress feedback here so this stage is clearer — thanks for flagging it!
