Draw Things: AI Generation Hack 1.20230818.0 + Redeem Codes

The models folder was fixed for a while but now it disappeared again, actually; the whole Draw Things folder is inaccessible and no longer has the icon thumbnail. It can be searched for in files but accessed.

Current: There might be a bug with the models folder. It seems to ghost in and out of existence in the files app. Its weird because it when I need to add models its nowhere to be found but existing models still work, that specific downloads folder is just gone and so is the entire DrawThings folder from my files and the search. But when I am Just browsing on Safari or in another app accessing Files; boom! There it is! Its even the default directory that open when visiting files pretty often! Its like a ghost that shows up randomly. Not a big deal currently since the dev has practically every awesome model link available for download in the app. I don’t even want to say you’re like the Auto1111 of iOS for SD, you will surpass Automatic; we believe in you. Thank you for enabling us and our iPhones with fricken dope Dreambooth models that get updated often. Idk how it could be done but if possible it would be incredible to have background generations. The speed of generation isn’t something I am worried about despite it being pretty dang good using Apples Neural chip thing; being able to slowly generate in the background and receive a notification when its ready would be gold. Kudos!

I want to preface this by saying that this is ADVANCED AI generation software. I've seen a lot of 1 star reviews of this app by people who don't know what they're doing and are expecting to just type a prompt and get exactly what they want with no/minimal additional tweaking/setup. If that's what you want, use something like Midjourney. However, this software is virtually unparalleled in ease-of-setup and quality for using Stable Diffusion, you just have to do a little bit of learning and then it works virtually flawlessly. The app has support for LoRAs, textual inversion, and additive models. There are also plenty of quality-of-life features (like giving the option to delete models from your downloads folder once you upload to Draw Things.) There is also a wealth of settings to tweak as well as the option to clear the temporary cache to free up space. Underneath every setting is a well-writen and easy-to-read explanation detailing exactly what it does and what you might prefer to use. Massive respect and many thanks to Liu Liu for providing this software completely for free without any in-app purchases or subscriptions, you're brilliant. It's clear a lot of effort and care went into the user experience.

This is a completely revised review. The original complained that the program didn't work on Intel Macs in spite of the App Store claiming it did (not the dev's fault). But the devs responded better than my crankiness deserved and updated it to run on Intel macs. I appreciate that.

It should be noted that a big part, perhaps the primary reason, for not being set to run on Intel is that the APIs they're using are optimized for Silicon, so even simple prompts can take several minutes, which isn't a huge problem for casual users. But, it is accessing the models so disk access can get choppy if you decide to watch something whie you wait. Of course, that's not news to Mac users.

The only real issue I've come across is a bug that made me force quit. You need to hold option and click to view tooltips and one time it brought up a color picker that I couldn't get rid of resulting in the need to force quit. That might upset a pro, but I'm good for now.

After having tried several different versions of Stable Diffusion on my 16GB M1 iMac, including the hard-to-set-up Automatic 1111, this is the best by far. Due to superior memory management, it easily runs on my iMac; Automatic 1111, on the other hand, made frequent use of memory swapping that hurt its performance. As a result, this runs many times as fast. It also has far more options than other easy-to-set-up alternatives like DiffusionBee or Guernika, which I've also tried. Finally, it allows you to easily try out multiple compact SD models and also runs well on my 8 GB iPad Air -- an amazing achievement.

If there's any room for improvement, the interface could be a bit more polished and a pull-down menu with full help documentation could be added. Still, these are moot points and this application truly deserves five stars.

Solid work. After struggling with the performance and memory thirst of Automatic1111 on Apple silicon and not getting enough out of the command line CoreML implementations, I decided to give this a try with moderate-to-low expectations. They were surpassed, and how: model setup is as easy as a drop-down menu with pretty much every variant out there, performance is great, memory pressure is surprisingly low, and it does appear to be leveraging CoreML.
Iterative work is very nicely supported by the edit history.
The only glitch I would report thus far is that the coloring menu is finnicky, I cannot do much other than select from the basic palette, which then I can't escape without clicking on 'More colors' (which I don't think is a functioning menu).
Haven't done much with LoRA and control nets yet but so far this thing is smooth as silk.

Most grateful for the Dev for making this app. Thank you.!!! Using on a Macbook AirM1 works very well, and pretty fast.

Easiest install, with the models you'd want readily downaloadable. Great GUI to access the tools and settings you need.

CONS: Hardly any. again so appreciate having this app. It does show it's IOS side, with some things that are not available while using on OSX.

My only wish/suggestions:

1. PLEASE implement a bulk file save for the jpeg option, (rather than having to do it one file at a time...) When creating multiple iterfations, it 's very time consuming and labor intensive to save each picture via right click etc. The work around I'm using now is a macro program, but feels like this could easily be added.

2. Have scroll bars that will respond to keyboard. up/down keys. Assuming it was intended as a swipe thing in IPAD, but on OSX or using a keyboard with Ipad it's not available.

If these minor issues were addressed there is no reason to use any other version of Stable Diffusion- unless you need the most advanced features this App will do iit all. Simple install and works great.

If there is a patreon, or donation page, I'd gladly contribute.

Many thanis again to Liu LIu!!!

I’m on an iphone 13 plus and after downloading the app and waiting a bit to download the 2 GiB system, my device’s photo storage suddenly tripled in size and I went from 68 gbs used out pf 128 to 127.5 out of 128. I proceeded to delete the app and all corresponding files, and reviewed my photo album. I have found no new pictures and nothing to signify the tripling of my photo storage size after the use of this app.

If there is some sort of hidden download that comes along and fills the photo album like this, I can not see it and have gone to apple support about this issue bringing the app in light. I imagine this may be some sort of bug but I have been purging my photos as a result and whatever was downloaded from this app before I even got the chance to generate any photos is still taking up 80 gbs of space on my iphone and I can literally not see it in files or the photos I have where it says it is.

I hope you can offer a solution but I am otherwise highlighting this as a danger to devices with apple support.

Wow. Not long ago, I was amazed that I could run stable diffusion on an actual computer, so imagine my surprise when I found out I can now do it on my phone! Plus, it can generate images of much higher resolution than the PC can--it just takes more time--otherwise, it works as fast or faster than the PC does! However, the PC has batch generation so I can have it generating many different versions of the prompt while I take a nap or do other things. I wish this app at least sounded a chime when it was finished generating so you didn't have to keep checking it to see if it is done. EDIT: I found out it does have batch capabilities! Tap and hold on the Generate button and you can choose up to 10 images at a time!

Guys, how is this app sitting at 4.4 stars? There must have been some issues eaerly on in its release because in its current state, all I see is the uncontested king of all free stable diffusion apps.

Its completely local (which freaked me out when it asked to download a 500MB bootstrap on first launch, thought I was about to become a unwilling Soviet spy) and there are zero ads. ZERO. Unlimited use. Tons of tools. Far more than a filthy casual AI art enjoyer could ever fully utilize.

If you are in my class of user: just a person wanting to experiment with stable diffusion AI art without boundaries or "tokens", this is it, this is your app. It even has the full suite of mac, iphone, and ipad apps so you dont have to use an upscaled iphone version on your computer like most other SD apps.

Overall, this is the best AI art generation program I have used, and Ive played with about 20 so far. Even if I find something "better" out in the wild, there is a 0% chance it will be completely free like this one. This is as good as I will get without forking over money and I feel blessed that this developer put so much love into it.

Very impressed with the developer's work ethic. Please consider the following:
--My hard drive space is filling up because of adding models, mods, etc. Please add model, mod, etc. management for adding and removing local storage and the ability to have models, mods on an external drive. This way local storage will not fill up. Right now there is no way to save a model on an external and have the software use that model.
--There are a lot of cool features, but I don't know how to use them or how the scale of percentage works exactly. Please add a help, how to, demonstration, etc. Keep up the good work. I would be willing to pay for a version that allows me to get consistent characters in different poses for a graphic novel, comic, etc.
