ExoGen – Open-Source Local Stable Diffusion Client

Everything you type and generate stays on your machine — model downloads, LoRA mixing, upscaling via Real-ESRGAN and inference run locally while the app shows real-time progress and backend logs. The app leans into practical UX (hardware-based model recommendations, visual memory allocation, generation history) which makes setup and iteration less painful. It isn't reinventing the local-UI wheel — AUTOMATIC1111 and ComfyUI still dominate — but ExoGen is a tidy, approachable alternative for people who want a desktop, privacy-first experience.
