macOS Desktop App
From script to screen.
Characters that stay in character.
A desktop AI filmmaking studio with a built-in consistency engine. One app from script to final export — with characters, locations, and style that hold from the first frame to the last.
The problem
AI can generate beautiful shots.
It just can't make a film.
You write in ChatGPT, generate in Midjourney, create clips in Runway, and edit in DaVinci. You paste the same character description into every prompt and hope the face matches. It never does.
Five apps. Zero continuity.
ChatGPT for scripts. Midjourney for images. Runway for video. CapCut for editing. Topaz for upscaling. Each one is a separate subscription, a separate context, a separate set of prompts to maintain.
Shot 1 and shot 47 are strangers.
Your character's face changes between frames. Lighting drifts. Style wanders. You re-roll and cherry-pick for hours, and the final cut still looks like a collage, not a film.
Six stages. One app. Zero browser tabs.

Stop paying for five subscriptions and switching between five tabs. One app replaces your entire fragmented toolchain — from world building to final export.
Consistency Engine
Your characters actually look like the same person.
AI tools produce stunning one-off images, but nothing stays consistent. Your main character looks like a different person in every shot. Skia validates every generation across five dimensions — character identity, scene coherence, visual continuity, style consistency, and narrative logic — then tracks drift so you catch problems before they compound.
- Face identity checked against your character reference portraits
- Scene, lighting, and style scored against locations and moodboards
- Visual continuity and drift alerts across entire sequences
Skia Assistant
Direct your AI. In plain English.
The Skia Assistant knows your characters, locations, and style guides. Tell it what you want — it composes prompts from your world bible, generates images and video, and writes screenplay scenes. No prompt engineering. No copy-pasting descriptions between tools.
- Knows your characters, locations, and style — no re-explaining between sessions
- Composes prompts and triggers generations directly from conversation
- Tunable per project — set a system prompt to match your creative direction
Post-Production — Built In
Three fewer apps. Three fewer subscriptions.
Most AI filmmakers open Photoshop to fix a hand, pay for Topaz just to upscale, and use a separate tool for captions. In Skia, all three run locally on your GPU — for free.
Inpainting
Paint a region, describe the fix. Hands, props, backgrounds — correct details without regenerating the whole frame.
Upscaling
2x or 4x to production resolution. Two quality modes — fast (~2s) or quality (~8s). Fully local.
Captions
One-click transcription with word-level timing. Six professional style presets. Burn-in export.
Models
Every major model. One interface.
Generate with Veo, Sora, Kling, FLUX, or run models locally on your Mac. Switch providers any time — your characters, prompts, and timeline stay the same.
Three categories. Only one does it all.
AI video generators make clips. Video editors cut footage. Skia makes films.

Your machine. Your data. No cloud required.
Native Performance
Built with Tauri 2.x and Metal GPU acceleration. Not Electron. Not a web app. Editing, playback, and export run at native speed.
Everything Local
No cloud sync. No telemetry. No account required. All project files and credentials stay on your machine, encrypted.
Works Offline
Write, storyboard, edit, and export without internet. Local model generation works offline too. Cloud is optional.
