The web catalogue adds Create Studio models (FLUX 3 Klein, Krea 2 Turbo, MOSS Image, LTX 2.5, MiniMax H3 Singularity and more), retires eight and publishes three more open video models. The pricing page, the image and video generator pages and the counts on every sales page follow: 17 open video and 9 open image models, 48 chat and 109 Create models in the complete list, 64 Create Studio prices from studioBaseCredits. David's decisions of 24.10.2026: the two MiniMax H3 Singularity models keep their catalogue names without the word, as an exception like OpenVideo, and the panel's image and video totals count the studio generators too (18 and 32, the generation groups of the complete list), so it never names more open models than models. The guard now holds the panel to those groups and checks every id in them against the web catalogue and the retired list. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

<h1>Locally Uncensored for Mac</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>The short version:</strong> yes, there is a Mac build since version 3.0.6, and it is in beta. It is for Apple Silicon and needs macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported. On any Mac, Intel included, the hosted studio opens in a browser.</p>

<p>3.0.7 has run on one Mac so far, an M5 Pro with 48 GB on macOS 26.3.1. Macs with less memory have not been tested, and neither have the large LTX video models, which need 64 GB. That is why the build carries the beta label. If something breaks on your machine, the <a href="https://github.com/PurpleDoubleD/locally-uncensored/issues">issue tracker</a> is the place to say so.</p>

<h2>How to Install</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><a href="https://github.com/PurpleDoubleD/locally-uncensored/releases/latest/download/LU_3.0.7_aarch64.dmg" download>Download the .dmg</a> for Apple Silicon.</li>
|
|
<li>Open the .dmg and drag the app into Applications.</li>
|
|
<li>Start it. The setup wizard picks a first model for your machine.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The .dmg is signed and notarized.
|
|
The signature is an Apple Developer ID. It runs on Apple Silicon with macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the first start macOS asks whether you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. That is expected, click Open. If macOS says LU is damaged or cannot be checked for malicious software, the download is incomplete or not the file from the Releases page. Do not open it and do not work around the message. Download the .dmg again from the <a href="https://github.com/PurpleDoubleD/locally-uncensored/releases/latest">Releases page</a>, and if the message comes back, tell us in the <a href="https://locallyuncensored.com/discord" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Discord</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Local use is free and needs no account. The app is open source under AGPL-3.0.</p>
|
|
|

<h2>How Much Memory a Mac Needs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>On a Mac, unified memory decides what you can load, not the chip name. The tier list by memory size is in <a href="/blog/what-a-mac-can-run-locally-2026.html">What a Mac can actually run locally in 2026</a>.</p>

<aside class="lu-cloud-box">

<span class="lu-cloud-kicker">Intel Mac, or not enough memory?</span>
|
|
<p>The hosted studio opens in a browser on any Mac. It reaches <a href="/uncensored-ai-chat-online/">48 chat models online</a> and nine open image models, paid from credit packs that start at 15 EUR and need no subscription. <a href="/pricing/">See what it costs</a>.</p>

<h2>Coming From LM Studio?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>LM Studio is a good Mac chat client. What it does not do is make images. The comparison for Mac users is in <a href="/blog/lm-studio-alternative-for-mac.html">LM Studio alternative for Mac</a>, and the general one is <a href="/vs/lm-studio/">Locally Uncensored vs LM Studio</a>.</p>
