The most elegant way to launch AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion WebUI on your Mac.

Say goodbye to the command line. WebUI Launcher is a lightweight, native macOS application that provides a seamless, one-click experience to start the WebUI. Launch it instantly from Spotlight, the Dock, or your Desktop, just like any other app.

If you've ever felt that opening Terminal, navigating to a directory, and running a script felt like a clumsy interruption to your creative workflow, this app is for you. We've replaced that friction with a beautifully designed, native macOS experience.

• ✨ Elegant & Intuitive UIe UI: Crafted by a graphic designer, this app is built with meticulous attention to detail. It's not just functional; it's a pleasure to use.
• 🚀 Instant Launch: Access the WebUI instantly via Spotlight (⌘ + Space), the Dock, or Launchpad. No more terminal commands.
• natively written in 100% Swift & SwiftUIftUI, ensuring optimal performance, low resource usage, and a look and feel that's perfectly at home on macOS.
• 🔗 Seamless Integration: The launcher simply executes your existing webui.sh file. Any custom arguments or modifications you've made will work out of the box.
• 💡 Simple, One-Time Setup: Point the app to your stable-diffusion-webui directory on the first launch, and you're all set.

Your security is paramount. We understand that running a new application requires trust, which is why WebUI Launcher has been built to meet Apple's rigorous security standards.

✅ Apple Notarized & Developer ID Signedgned

This application is officially signed with an Apple Developer ID registered to xtower studio and has been notarized by Apple.

When you open WebUI Launcher for the first time, you will see a confirmation from macOS that "Apple checked it for malicious software," instead of the common "unidentified developer" warning. You can run this app with complete peace of mind.

This application does not include AUTOMATIC1111's stable-diffusion-webui. You must have it installed and working on your machine already.

• AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui installed.
• macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later.

The easiest way to get started is by downloading the latest release from the Releases page.

1. Go to the Releases section.
2. Download the latest .dmg file.
3. Open the .dmg file and drag WebUI Launcher.app into your Applications folder.

1. Launch the App: Open WebUI Launcher for the first time.
2. Select Your Directory: You'll be prompted to locate your stable-diffusion-webui folder. Select the root folder that contains the webui.sh file.
3. Done!: The app will now launch your WebUI. From now on, simply opening the app will start the WebUI directly.

Your terminal window will open automatically to show the startup progress, just as it would if you ran the script manually.

WebUI Launcher is a simple yet powerful wrapper. When you open the app, it executes the webui.sh script located within the directory you specified during setup. This approach ensures maximum compatibility with your existing setup and any custom launch arguments you've configured within the script itself.
