How do you get it running?

Difficulty · hard Time to first run · 1h+

Requires Rust stable and Tauri 2 system prerequisites, plus a running chatgpt2api or sub2api server with a valid API key.

You can use and modify this software, but if you distribute it or run it as a network service you must publish your modified source code under the same AGPL-3.0 license.

In plain English

Phantom G2 Image Client is a desktop application for generating AI images using your own backend server. You provide the app with the URL of a chatgpt2api or sub2api service, an API key, and a local folder to save results, then use it to submit text-to-image and image-to-image generation tasks without going through a third-party website. The app is built with React for the interface and Tauri, which uses the Rust programming language, to package it as a native desktop program on Windows and macOS. Because requests pass through the Tauri backend layer, the app avoids the cross-origin restrictions that browser-based tools face when calling a local or private API server. Key features include submitting multiple tasks at once, splitting a list of prompts by blank lines to run them as a batch, and adding up to eight reference images per task by dragging, pasting from the clipboard, or uploading a file. After a generation completes, the image, thumbnail, original prompt, and task details are saved locally and organized by date. You can browse saved results by date, preview them, and quickly reload a saved prompt back into the editor or use a past result as a reference image for a new edit. The built-in prompt tools let you clean up a prompt, translate between Chinese and English, and reverse-generate a prompt from a reference image. The result browser includes pagination and lets you delete images you no longer need. Configuration is stored in the Tauri application data folder on your machine and is never sent to any remote server. The project is released under the AGPL-3.0 license, which means you must make the source code available if you modify and distribute it or run it as a network service.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
My chatgpt2api server is at localhost:3000. Walk me through filling in the service URL, API key, and local output directory in Phantom G2 so I can start generating images.
Prompt 2
I have 10 prompts I want to run as a batch in Phantom G2. How do I format them in the prompt editor so they split correctly into separate tasks?
Prompt 3
I want to set up Tauri 2 on macOS and build the Phantom G2 desktop app from source. What prerequisites do I need and what commands do I run?
Prompt 4
Show me how to use a previously generated image as a reference in Phantom G2 and submit a new image-to-image edit task.
Prompt 5
I need to cross-compile Phantom G2 for Windows on my Mac. Walk me through using build_tauri_windows.command and where the output files go.
