Graphica
Read full descriptionHide full description
GRAPHICA is a gallery app for creating generative art from words. Describe the scenery, texture, colors, or motion you have in mind, and AI turns it into a shader you can preview as an animated piece. Publish the ones you like to the public gallery, and browse what other people have made. Key features: - Generate generative art from a text prompt - Preview generated pieces instantly - Browse the public gallery - Manage your own works from My Page - Sign in with Apple / email magic link - Show a piece on your Home Screen widget - Launch the gallery or the creation screen from Shortcuts or Siri - Switch to a static poster when Reduce Motion is enabled Generation can use the shared server-side quota, your own API key (BYOK), or on-device generation on supported hardware. BYOK API keys are stored in the device Keychain and never sent to the server. Published works can be reported; content found inappropriate may be hidden or lead to account suspension. Accounts can be deleted from within the app.
