Fooocus
A deliberately simple, SDXL-focused image generation app that hides most of the usual settings so you can concentrate on prompting. It is one of the gentlest ways into local image generation, though it is now in maintenance only.
Strengths
- Extremely beginner-friendly, with very few decisions to make
- Good SDXL results with little knowledge required
- Free and open source
Weaknesses
- In maintenance and bug-fix mode, not actively gaining features
- SDXL-focused, so no support for newer models like FLUX
- Limited flexibility compared with ComfyUI or InvokeAI
