## FAQ

- Which Macs can run these models? ZImageApp requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M-series, arm64) running macOS 15 or later. Intel Macs are not supported. Available unified memory limits the resolution and computation mode you can use.
- Do I need Python, ComfyUI or the terminal? No. ZImageApp is a native Swift / MLX Mac app. Install the DMG, choose a model, download or select a compatible MLX package and generate — no Python environment, ComfyUI workflow or command line setup.
- Is ZImageApp free? Yes. ZImageApp is a free download for Apple Silicon Macs. The installer is Developer ID signed and Apple notarized.
- Are my prompts and images uploaded? No. Generation runs locally on your Mac. A network connection is only needed to download the app and model files.
