    From the README

    Build AI image & video pipelines visually.

    Chain prompts, models, reference images, and automations on an infinite canvas.

    Only the builds actually attached to the latest release are available. macOS is published today. Tauri can't cross-compile, so Windows and Linux builds need someone on those platforms — if you can run npm run desktop:build on Windows or Linux (see the Build from source section below), please open a PR or attach the artifacts to an issue and we'll add them to the release.
