GenStation

AI image and video generation for macOS and iOS

Connect to Gemini, Grok, AI/ML API, or your own ComfyUI server, with your own API keys. GenStation has left the App Store, and its complete source code is now free for anyone to build, study or adapt.

Status

Retired from the App Store, released as open source

Image and video services change quickly. They retire models, rename them and change their request formats every few months. Keeping a store app working would mean updating it constantly, so GenStation has been withdrawn from the App Store. Its final version is published as source code instead.

  • Already installed? It keeps running, but requests to models that providers have changed or retired will fail. No further updates will be released.
  • Want the latest version? Version 2.1 was finished but never submitted to the App Store. Build it from the source below.
  • Not maintained. The code is provided as is, without support. Issues and pull requests are not monitored.
  • Privacy unchanged. The privacy policy stays online for existing installs.

What's inside 2.1

Everything in the final version

Mac · experimental

Agent-ready

A built-in local Model Context Protocol bridge lets Claude Code and other AI agents create and revise images, run your saved ComfyUI workflows and retrieve the originals. You approve every paid request in GenStation, or set an optional spending limit. Agents never see your keys.

Multiple AI engines

One app for Gemini, Grok, a curated selection of AI/ML API's image and video models, or your own ComfyUI server.

  • Gemini
  • Grok
  • AI/ML API
  • ComfyUI

A curated model catalog

Every model's parameters come from the provider's own published request schema, so controls only offer values the model accepts. Includes favorites, search and GPT Image edits with up to 16 references.

A library that remembers

History with folders and search. Turn any result into a new draft with Revise or Animate, recover finished jobs after an interruption, and see the costs the provider reports.

ComfyUI workflows

Import workflows from JSON files or PNG images and save them by name, choosing which inputs to fill in. If the connection drops, finished outputs are recovered without resubmitting the job.

On-device extras

4x Real-ESRGAN upscaling runs entirely on your device. On the Mac, paint-to-edit inpainting regenerates just the area you brush over.

Your keys, private by design

No accounts, no subscriptions, no analytics, no GenStation servers. API keys stay in your device's Keychain, and prompts go only to the provider you choose.

Build it yourself

Run GenStation from source

  1. 1

    Clone and open

    On a Mac with Xcode, clone the repository and open GenStation.xcodeproj.

    git clone https://github.com/wrockey/genstation-app
  2. 2

    Sign it as yours

    Under Signing & Capabilities, choose your own team and a bundle identifier you own, such as com.yourname.genstation.

  3. 3

    Run on Mac or iPhone

    A free Apple ID can install it on your own iPhone, but you must reinstall it every 7 days. A paid developer account makes installs last a year.

You bring your own provider API keys, and the providers bill generation charges directly. Models were last checked in September 2026, so expect some to have changed since.
