I built Brood because I kept spending more time on prompt roulette than visual iteration.

Quick demo: https://youtu.be/yKy1BtNY9s4 Install (DMG): https://github.com/kevinshowkat/brood/releases

Brood is a macOS desktop app where references are first-class. Import 1-3 images and run on-canvas actions like recast, combine, swap DNA, and bridge.

Runs are reproducible: artifacts + events.jsonl are written locally.

Current limits: macOS only, API keys required.

Would love blunt feedback on where this is faster/slower than your current workflow.

Maker here (Kevin). If you try it, the most useful feedback is one specific step that felt slow or confusing. I’ll prioritize that next.
