modello* is a generative studio for painters and visual artists. Begin with your own photo or sketch and transform it into richly rendered image studies. Set mood, subject, and style to guide each generation. Adjust Creative Distance to stay close to your original image — or push the generator to re-imagine it entirely. Italian painters once created preparatory painting proposals called modelli. modello* brings that spirit into a modern generative workflow. After the first generation, new variations appear quickly so you can explore dozens of ideas effortlessly. Features • Runs entirely on-device — your images never leave your device • Generate unlimited images with a modello* Unlimited subscription • Custom models trained on original paintings by the developer • Curated prompts — no open text input • Artist names are never used in prompting If you require technically correct anatomy, this is not that tool. Think of it as a proposal generator, not finished art. Make a few modelli. Follow the interesting ones. See what surprises you! Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Note: Requires newer hardware to create images. Minimum supported devices include iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPads with at least 6 GB of memory. Older and lower-memory devices are not supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: modello* at 5.0 against ARvid Augmented Reality's 4.6. modello* also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). ARvid Augmented Reality's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
