About Createy
Createy is a macOS application that places a floating panel above whatever you are working in. From it you can generate images and other visual assets with models such as Flux, SDXL and Gemini, and then drag the result straight into other tools without saving and importing files.
It is keyboard-first and positions itself as a layer for different workspaces: product photos for Shopify, UI assets and icons for Figma, ad visuals for Canva or Meta Ads, stock-style photos, moodboards, concept art over Blender or Unity, editorial headers and interior visualization over CAD tools. The interface uses Apple's glass-style design language.
Createy is a commercial closed-source Mac app, downloaded from its site, with a pricing page for plans. As a local desktop utility that calls generation models, it has no self-hosted edition.
