See Diwadi V6 in action

Six weeks ago, we shipped V1. Now we're at V6—and this release takes Diwadi to a whole new level. Run AI completely offline with local LLMs, generate images with Stable Diffusion, extract text from images, and edit diagrams—all without leaving the app.

What's New in V6

Local LLM Support

Run AI models completely offline using llama.cpp. Full tool calling support so the AI can interact with your files. Auto cleanup when idle to save resources. Your data never leaves your machine—true privacy-first AI.

AI Image Generation

Generate images from text prompts using Stable Diffusion. Choose from available models, customize settings, and create images instantly. Automatic process management handles everything behind the scenes.

OCR & Diagram Editing

Extract text from any image with built-in OCR. Edit D2 diagrams with live rendering. Preview Mermaid diagrams in real-time. Export Typst documents to PDF. Support for Intel Macs included.

VS Code-Style Title Bar

A completely redesigned title bar inspired by VS Code. Revamped split views for better multitasking. New notification system that's less intrusive. The app feels more professional than ever.

Even More Features

7-Zip compression support. Apple Sign-In for seamless authentication. Subtitle search and replace. Improved PPTX and DOCX handling. Unified drag and drop across the entire app.

Windows-Ready Builds

V6 brings improved Windows support with ready-to-ship builds. Cross-platform compatibility is better than ever—same great experience on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The Technical Details

Complete llama.cpp integration with tool calling. Stable Diffusion pipeline with automatic model management. OCR powered by efficient local processing. D2 and Mermaid diagram rendering. Typst to PDF export. Unified drag-drop system across all views.

The Numbers

120+ commits since V5. 20+ bug fixes. Three AI engines (cloud, local LLM, image generation). All while keeping the app lightweight and fast.
