HeliosGen is a free, open-source desktop application for creating AI-powered image and video pipelines. Users design workflows on an infinite canvas by connecting prompts, models, reference images, and automation steps. The project describes itself as a free alternative to Higgsfield, OpenArt, and Freepik. All processing runs locally on your machine with no cloud accounts or subscriptions required.
The app stores generations, workflows, and settings in a local database, with media saved to your computer. Users bring their own kie.ai API key for generation credits that never expire. Built with Claude-assisted development, HeliosGen includes features like multi-model generation, native JSON prompt preview, and an AI prompt improvement assistant.
