## Description

ArtGen is a no-AI, on-device character idea generator designed for artists, writers, and creatives. Pick themed packs to tailor your word pool, hit generate, and you’ll get a randomized character concept in seconds. You can reroll attributes or manually adjust until it feels right, then save your character and attach your finished artwork.

No accounts, no data collection - your ideas stay on your device or sync privately via your iCloud. Your creativity belongs to you.

## Review summary

ArtGen offers strong value for quickly generating and organizing character ideas, with a rich set of attributes and editable details. However, users repeatedly cite missing delete functionality, stability issues, limited customization (random traits only), and weak organization features (no folders or advanced sorting/view options). Addressing deletion, reliability, and workflow enhancements could unlock broader adoption among writers and artists.

### Pros

- Extensive options for character attributes and quick idea generation.
- Keeps all characters organized in one place, useful for writers and world-building.
- Helpful for brainstorming character concepts quickly.
- Editability after creation (descriptions and images) to refine details.

### Cons

- Inability to delete characters / no delete option.
- Occasional crashes and stability issues (crashes when editing, scrolling, or loading; some reports of a black screen).
- Limited customization: attributes are mostly random and typing own values isn't supported.
- Poor organization features: lacks folders, sorting by keyword/location, or multiple viewing modes (grid vs line view).
