⚠ Looking for a Windows / PC version?

DiffusionBee has no official Windows build — only a waitlist on their site for a possible future release. If you're on Windows, the closest one-click equivalents are Fooocus or ComfyUI, which offer a similarly simple Stable Diffusion experience.

How to install it

  1. Click the download button above

    Confirm you're on diffusionbee.com — a legitimate, verified official domain — before downloading anything.

  2. Open the .dmg and drag it into Applications

    Standard Mac install — no separate dependencies needed.

  3. Launch DiffusionBee

    On first open, it downloads the default Stable Diffusion model (a few GB) before you can generate.

  4. Type a prompt and generate

    Everything after this runs fully offline on your Mac.

Good to know: This is an independent overview, not affiliated with Divam Gupta or DiffusionBee. It doesn't currently support SDXL — only SD 1.5-family models. There is no official uninstaller; removing it fully means also deleting the ~/.diffusionbee and ~/Library/Application Support/DiffusionBee folders.
