Images can run on Midjourney (own account, via a sign-in window) or fal (own API key), chosen from the model selector's Select Provider submenu. Jobs finish into the library. The Midjourney credential manager and the router prompt helper move into shared crates used by both desktop apps.
Create Audio (PromptBoxAudio) with waveform playback, in-app video playback, animated feed previews, and @Character mentions with the Characters dialog.
## What
The native app now draws its own window chrome, laid out like the Claude
desktop app.
- **Custom title bar** (40 px) replaces the native frame:
- Left: the ArtCraft mark (goes Home) and the sidebar toggle.
- Right: credits, the account menu or Sign in, then minimize,
maximize/restore and close.
- Dragging the empty space moves the window; a double-click maximizes.
- On macOS the traffic lights stay, with room left for them.
- **Sidebar** is flush with the window's left edge, on the darker
chrome, with no floating card.
- **Content panel** is inset 8 px from the window edges, with rounded
corners and a hairline border. Its header holds the breadcrumbs and the
select and grid/list toggles.
- **Borderless window**: the edges and corners resize it, and a hairline
outlines it (hidden when maximized).
## Notes
- The window chrome helpers (`ui/window.rs`) are ported from the
ArtCraft Launcher, which uses the same egui 0.36.
- The mark is the in-repo `services/artcraft.svg`, tinted brand blue.
The old wordmark loader is removed.
- Toasts are moved down to sit below the new header.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p artcraft_native`: 29 tests pass.
- `cargo clippy -p artcraft_native --all-targets --no-deps` is clean.
- Screenshot-verified against a live account.
- Not tested by hand: dragging, resizing and the caption buttons.

## What
A new workspace member, `artcraft-native/`. It is the ArtCraft desktop
app in pure Rust: an egui UI with no Tauri, no webview and no
JavaScript. It covers the two main product pages, **Create Image** and
**Create Video**, and reuses the Tauri-free API crates
(`artcraft_client`, `artcraft_api_defs`, `tokens`, `enums`).
It also adds:
- a Home page and a Library page
- a lightbox
- sign-in and settings dialogs
- a sidebar and top bar in the style of the brutalist
**artcraft-webapp**
Tools that aren't ported yet show a "coming soon" page that links to the
web app.
```bash
cargo run -p artcraft_native --release
```
## Why
To get a native, webview-free desktop app. Generation goes through
**OmniGen** (`/v1/omni_gen/{models,cost,generate}`), the same API as the
webapp. Model capabilities come from the server, so the pickers stay
current without app updates.
## Prompt box
Recreated feature for feature from `PromptBoxImage` / `PromptBoxVideo`:
- **Editor:** auto-grow, focus mode, resize grip, length counter with
the model's limit, Enter-to-generate setting, and `@Image1` / `@Video1`
/ `@Audio1` mentions with highlighting and autocomplete.
- **References:** the fanned reference deck (hover-expand, reorder, add
menus with limits) and the first/last keyframe slots with swap. Files
can be uploaded, picked from the library, dragged and dropped, or pasted
as images.
- **Model selector:** families with a flyout, maker logos and capability
badges.
- **Pickers:** aspect ratio, resolution, quality, count, bitrate, output
format, duration slider, sound and input mode (Keyframe / Omni
Reference).
- **Generate:** a live credit cost estimate, validation (starting frame,
text-only models, limits, uploads in progress), and clear-all with
confirmation.
The feed shows running jobs (with progress and time left), failures
(dismissable), finished results and the paginated library, in a masonry
grid or a list. It supports Recreate, Make Video, Share and Download,
plus select mode for batch downloads.
## Reviewer notes
- **Sign-in.** On first launch the app reuses an existing desktop login
by reading the session cookie from the Tauri app's jar, and keeps its
own copy in `~/Artcraft/credentials/native_session.json`. Browser
(device-code) and password sign-in are also available.
- **Decoding.**
- Generate and cost requests are sent as JSON maps, like the Tauri app's
omni path.
- Jobs, library, batch and prompt responses use lenient structs
(`backend/wire.rs`), so new server enum values can't break decoding.
- **Renderer.** It uses eframe's **glow** renderer. `wgpu-hal` fails to
build against the `windows` crate versions this workspace pins for
Tauri.
- **Model names and logos.** Known families use curated names: "Flux 1
Dev" rather than the server's "FLUX.1 [dev]". When the server reports
`artcraft` as a model's maker, the logo comes from the id prefix instead
(Nano Banana → Google), matching the webapp.
- **Fonts and assets.** Inter, Archivo and Geist Mono are bundled under
the OFL and listed in `NOTICE`. The wordmark, icon and maker logos are
the existing in-repo assets.
- **Diagnostics.** `ARTCRAFT_SCREENSHOT=<png>` (optionally with
`ARTCRAFT_PAGE` and `ARTCRAFT_SCREENSHOT_EXIT=1`) saves a screenshot
once the window has settled.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p artcraft_native`: 29 tests pass. Unit tests cover the
catalog, feed store, wire decoding and backend helpers. Headless
`egui_kittest` tests drive the prompt box: generate gating,
Enter-to-generate, pickers, `@` mentions and clear-all.
- `cargo clippy -p artcraft_native --all-targets --no-deps` is clean.
- Run against a real account: the session import, model lists, cost
estimates, job polling, library paging and thumbnails all worked.
- **Not exercised: a real paid generation and real uploads.** I held
back to avoid spending credits, so they need a manual check.
## Not done yet
- `@Character` mentions for Seedance 2.0
- Provider choice (Midjourney direct, fal); everything runs through
ArtCraft
- In-app video and audio playback; these open in the system player
- Animated previews in the feed
- The remaining tools (Audio, 3D, editors)
