NyxAstra
Local-first AI image studio
Free
Create AI images up to 4K on Mac, iPhone, and iPad using your own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI key. Reuse templates, refine with references, and keep your library local.
NyxAstra is a native, local-first AI image studio for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Generate, refine, and organize images using your own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API key—without a NyxAstra account, subscription, or backend.
CREATE WITH CONTROL
• Generate images with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, gpt-image-2, gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1, and gpt-image-1-mini
• Create images up to 4K with supported models
• Control size, quality, output format, compression, background, and moderation settings
• Use quality levels up to xhigh and max with GPT Image 2.5 models
• Add multiple reference images for guided edits and visual direction
• Preview results and review token usage in a native interface designed for each device
REUSE YOUR BEST PROMPTS
Turn successful prompts into reusable templates instead of starting from scratch.
• Build templates with fill-in variables
• Save generation parameter presets
• Organize templates into folders
• Add custom cover images
• Import and export .nyxtemplate and .nyxtemplates files
• Start with a curated collection of bundled templates
BUILD A SEARCHABLE CREATIVE LIBRARY
Every generation is organized and stored locally on your device.
• Search by prompt, model, tag, format, or rating
• Add tags and star ratings
• Review prompts, dimensions, model settings, and token usage
• Export individual images or batch selections
• Preserve generation details in PNG and JPEG metadata
LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
NyxAstra has no account system, analytics, telemetry, or backend server. API credentials are stored securely on your device using the iOS and iPadOS Keychain or encrypted local storage on Mac. Your history, templates, settings, and generated images are stored locally.
When you generate or edit an image, NyxAstra sends the required prompt, generation settings, and reference images directly to the OpenAI or Azure OpenAI endpoint you configured. NyxAstra asks for permission before the first provider request and never routes your content through Gavin Schnee Studio.
REQUIREMENTS
• macOS 14 or later, or iOS/iPadOS 17 or later
• Your own OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API key
• Internet access for image generation
NyxAstra is free to use. API usage fees are charged directly by your selected AI provider according to your provider account.
NyxAstra is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Microsoft, or Azure.
