Breadboard is a desktop application designed to help users browse, search, and manage AI-generated images from Stable Diffusion models. It targets users who generate a significant volume of images across different Stable Diffusion UIs and need a centralized way to organize and interact with their creations. The primary benefit is streamlined workflow and efficient management of AI art assets.

How It Works

Breadboard functions as a local file browser and metadata indexer. It scans specified directories for image files and extracts associated metadata (like prompts, seeds, and parameters) embedded within the image files or in accompanying text files. This indexed data allows for quick searching and filtering of images based on their generation parameters.
