Show HN: Brood, a reference-first AI image editor for macOS
latentcraft Sunday, February 22, 2026
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.
Summary
