Diffusion Bee is the easiest way to run Stable Diffusion locally on your M1 Mac. Comes with a one-click installer. No dependencies or technical knowledge needed.

Unique: Implements a dual-storage model where images are stored as files on disk and metadata is indexed in a JSON database, allowing fast metadata queries without loading all images into memory. The gallery UI uses Vue.js to provide real-time filtering and sorting without backend round-trips.

vs others: More integrated than external file managers (no context-switching) and faster than cloud-based galleries (no network latency), while providing less functionality than professional asset management systems (acceptable for individual creators).
