Draw Things
Draw Things is a macOS app for creating AI-generated images and video locally, with tools for prompting, editing, and model-based workflows.
What is Draw Things?
Draw Things is a native macOS app for local AI image and video generation. It helps artists, hobbyists, and experimenters create visuals from text prompts, transform existing images, and work with diffusion models without relying entirely on a remote web service. The app includes practical creative tools such as image-to-image generation, inpainting, outpainting, pose and structural guidance, and support for importing or managing models used in your workflow. It is especially useful for people who want more direct control over prompts, model settings, and on-device generation on Apple hardware. On Mac, users often use it for concept art, visual brainstorming, stylized edits, and testing different models or LoRA-based variations in one desktop workspace. Draw Things is published by Liuliu.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app is legitimate creative software for AI image generation. It may use substantial disk space, memory, and GPU resources because models, downloads, generated images, and related assets can be large. Access to files and photos can be normal if you import reference images or save results, and network access may be used for downloads or optional cloud-related features. If you use it, keep an eye on storage usage and review what model files you download or keep.
Recommendation: Keep Draw Things if you actively create or test AI-generated images or video on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use it and want to recover the app’s storage space, especially if you have downloaded large models or saved many generated assets.
