What it does
A Windows and Linux desktop app that isolates the subject and writes out a transparent PNG, with the model bundled into the installer so nothing is uploaded and nothing needs a connection. That makes it a reasonable fit for product shots or photos of people you would rather not hand to a web service. Hair and other fine edges still need manual touch-up, and it is a one-person project, so grab builds from the official releases page only. MIT.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
