What is image-prompt-library?
This application lets you build a private collection of AI-generated images alongside their prompts and metadata. It stores everything locally in SQLite and image files, requiring no account. You can group items into collections, tag them, and search across all fields. Optional OAuth connections to ChatGPT and Grok enable generating new images and suggesting titles, though those requests go to the provider's servers. Installers are provided for Windows (PowerShell), macOS, Linux, and WSL 2, plus a macOS launchd service for background operation. The server defaults to 127.0.0.1:8000. A read-only demo is hosted on GitHub Pages. The code uses AGPL-3.0-or-later with commercial licensing offered separately.
