Summary Image Studio is an open-source desktop/Android client addressing connection timeouts (Cloudflare 524/504) during long image generation/editing tasks. It targets users of OpenAI-compatible APIs needing a stable, local interface, using SSE/WebSocket for persistent connections and local data processing.

How It Works Built with Wails (Go/React/TS) and an Android WebView shell, it supports two API modes: "Responses API" with HTTP SSE/WebSocket to bypass gateway timeouts, and "Images API" for standard OpenAI compatibility. Users provide their own API endpoints, keys, and models, ensuring 100% local data processing.

Quick Start & Requirements Stable releases: RoseKhlifa/Image-Studio Releases; bleeding-edge: DR-lin-eng/Image-Studio Actions. Initial setup requires configuring upstream details (BASE_URL, API Key, model IDs) via "Upstream Configuration". Unsigned Windows executables may trigger security warnings. See docs/packages.md and docs/usage.md.

Highlighted Details

• Resilient Inference: SSE/WebSocket for "Responses API" bypasses 524/504 timeouts during extended generation.
• Broad API Support: Compatible with standard OpenAI /v1/images/generations and /v1/images/edits, plus its own Responses API.
• Local-First Design: All user data and processing remain local.
• Prompt Management: Integrates with Image-Prompts for streamlined import.
• Mobile Access: Includes Android WebView shell.

Limitations & Caveats Image Studio is a client interface; users must supply their own API endpoints, keys, and models. Many issues stem from upstream configurations, API keys, or network limits, not the client. Unsigned Windows builds may face security warnings.
