I have been using Krea 2 locally and wanted a simpler Mac interface for it, so I built Krealize.

It runs Krea 2 directly on Apple silicon through MLX. It does not use a remote generation service. Prompts and generated images remain on the computer.

The app handles the model download and provides prompt controls, generation progress, a local gallery, and previous prompt history. It also supports up to ten custom LoRAs in the PRO version.

The normal generation mode is free. Fast mode, custom LoRAs, PNG export, notifications, and LoRA presets are included in an optional one-time purchase.

The app requires macOS 26 or later. It is distributed directly and is signed and notarized by Apple.

I’m interested in feedback from people who have already run Krea 2 through ComfyUI or Diffusers. I would particularly like to know whether the outputs and generation times are in line with other local setups.

I'm the developer of a Mac app called Krealize.

It runs the Krea 2 image model directly on Apple silicon using MLX. Images are generated on the Mac, so prompts and results are not sent to an online image service.

The app handles downloading the model and provides a normal Mac interface for entering prompts, changing settings, viewing previous images, and exporting results.

It requires macOS 26 or later. It is a direct download, but it is signed and notarized by Apple.

The basic version is free to use. There is also an optional one-time PRO purchase for Fast mode, custom LoRAs, PNG export, and a few other features.

If anyone tries it, I would appreciate hearing which Mac you used and how long a generation took.

Hi, I’m the developer of Krealize, a native macOS app for running Krea 2 locally.

The prompt, model processing, and generated image all stay on the Mac. The app uses MLX and supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later.

I built it because I wanted a simpler way to use Krea 2 on a Mac without setting up Python or working through a node interface.

The app can download the model, generate 1024 by 1024 images, keep a local gallery, and restore previous prompts. The basic generation mode is free. Fast mode, PNG export, notifications, and custom LoRAs are part of an optional one-time PRO purchase.

It is distributed directly rather than through the Mac App Store. The download is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple.

I would be interested to hear how it performs on different Apple silicon Macs, particularly machines with 16 or 24 GB of memory.
