Changelog

Generate images entirely offline. Grout App now supports local image generation models alongside the cloud — so you can choose between best-in-class cloud results (which use Merits) and offline models that run on your machine and don't burn any Merits.

What's new

• Switch between cloud and offline models directly in the image generator.

• CPU models — Bonsai and Stable Diffusion, no GPU required.

• GPU models — Flux, accelerated with Metal (macOS), CUDA (NVIDIA), or Vulkan — picked automatically when available.

• Bring your own model — download any sd.cpp-compatible GGUF file from HuggingFace and add it to Grout App.

How it works

Models download once and then run fully offline. Your prompts and generated images never leave your machine when you use an offline model.

Cloud or offline — your choice

• Cloud models — best quality, use your Merits.

• Offline models — run locally, Merits are not consumed.

Grout App is now 100% offline-capable

With offline image generation joining Local AI and the offline-first canvas, Grout App now works end-to-end without an internet connection — research, prompt, generate, and create entirely on your machine.

AI-Memory is the foundation of Grout App — your personal context library that powers every AI answer.

• Upload PDFs, past papers, curriculum guides, and case studies.

• Phone scanning — scan a QR code to send photos of physical books and notes to your canvas over Wi-Fi.

• Auto-organization — every upload is broken down, sorted by subject, labeled, digitized, and made searchable.

• Transparency Dashboard — a visual timeline of prompts, sources, and sketches used.
• AI Creator — lesson plans, case studies, and visual aids from your curriculum.
• Export & Present — export to PDF/DOCX or launch a full-screen slideshow with Present Now.
