Canvas

In plain words

Canvas is a native macOS application that provides access to OpenAI's DALL·E image generation features. The open-source tool lets users generate, edit, and create variations of images directly on their Mac. It's designed for anyone interested in exploring AI-powered creative capabilities through a dedicated desktop interface rather than a web browser.
