What it does
Generate images on your Android phone with no PC and no internet connection. It uses the Snapdragon NPU for practical speed - SD1.5 needs Hexagon V68 or newer, SDXL needs Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or newer - and falls back to CPU or GPU on other chips, which is considerably slower. Because everything runs on the device, neither your prompts nor the generated images leave the phone. Built-in upscaling and NSFW filtering are included.

local-dream FAQ
- Is local-dream free?
- Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use local-dream?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does local-dream work on a phone?
- Yes, it works on a phone.
- Can I use local-dream commercially?
- No. The page shows 記載なし, but the actual terms — the AI model this page runs, or the provider's own terms — do not allow commercial use. The licence name shown on the page is not the whole story.
