Version 1.0
The first release
The loop
- Eight lockable character traits — type, gender, age, hair, facial hair, eyes, expression, and accessory.
- Lock any trait and reroll the rest, or randomize everything at once.
- Fifteen character types, from Human and Orc to Robot, Ghost, and Vampire.
- Fourteen archetype presets, from Wizard to Necromancer, that fill the unlocked traits.
The pipeline
- Every render is forced through the same deterministic pipeline: downsample, grayscale, background whiteout, and Floyd–Steinberg dither — at your chosen size of 32, 64, or 128 px.
- The result is always clean 1-bit pixel art — black and white by default, recolourable through any duotone palette.
Colour & export
- Eighteen retro duotone palettes — Game Boy, Amber CRT, Cyberpunk, Vaporwave, and more — for presentation and export.
- Palettes are invertible: tap an active palette again to swap ink and paper. The stored render stays 1-bit.
- Export PNG at 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 px, or a scalable SVG. Copy a portrait or drag it straight to Finder.
Models & privacy
- Seven AI image models across Google, OpenAI, and Hugging Face — pick one per render.
- Bring your own API key and pay the provider directly. No subscription, no markup.
- Keys are stored in the macOS Keychain. Renders stay on your Mac, saved to a local gallery with focus mode and filmstrip navigation.
