# ima2-gen

A local-first visual generation studio that runs image and video jobs from several providers on a user's own machine, keeping every generation's prompt, timing and settings so results can be branched and reproduced.

ima2-gen is a local-first visual generation runtime and studio for people and coding agents, offering reproducible image and video workflows across multiple providers. It runs a small local server, reachable from a browser, a Mac app, a CLI or a coding agent, and keeps every generated result together with its prompt, timing and settings.

Results can be organized in a node graph, where a good image is branched in several directions at once without overwriting earlier versions, and a canvas mode supports annotating, erasing, cutting backgrounds and exporting with an alpha channel. It connects to providers including OpenAI, Grok, Gemini, AtlasCloud, MiniMax, NovelAI and registered ComfyUI workflows, sending prompts and reference images only to the provider chosen for that job, with Runway and Higgsfield reached through separate MCP integrations.

It installs with npm, or as a signed and notarized native application for Apple Silicon Macs that bundles its own runtime.
