What runs where on Mac

Images generate locally on an M4 with 24 GB of memory, or on an M2 or M3 Pro, Max or Ultra with 24 GB. On other Apple silicon Macs, the same images render online with credits, from the same app. Video, character training and retouching run online on Mac.

Why tendre.AI on your Mac

Private by design

Your prompts and your images stay on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded when you render locally.

Works offline

Download the local engine once, about 26 GB, and it keeps working without a connection.

Your characters, locally

The characters you trained (LoRA) render on your Mac too, so a face stays the same from one image to the next.

Upscale on the spot

Double the resolution of an image locally, without sending it anywhere.

Questions

Which Macs can generate images locally?

An M4 with 24 GB of memory or more, or an M2 or M3 Pro, Max or Ultra with 24 GB. Pro and Max chips render faster. Other Apple silicon Macs, from the M1, generate the same images online.

Does it work on an Intel Mac?

No. tendre.AI for Mac needs Apple silicon, M1 or later, and macOS 13 or later.

Do my images leave my Mac?

Not when you render locally: the prompt, the model and the result all stay on your machine. Online rendering, when you choose it, runs on our servers and uses credits.

Is it the same model as on Windows?

Yes, the same image model and the same characters. With the same seed, an image rendered locally on a Mac is not identical to the pixel to the one rendered online, but it follows the same prompt.
