Just House Paint

Everything it does

The whole list, each part with its page in the docs. Every screenshot below is the app itself, on houses from Wikimedia Commons.

Your houses

  • Add a photo of the house (JPEG, PNG or WebP); the app keeps the original and paints on a copy.
  • Rename and delete; each house keeps its parts, designs and AI photos in its own folder.

Finding the parts

  • Meta's SAM 3 vision model, on your computer, finds the body, trim, front door, garage door, shutters, columns, railings, gutters, soffits and fascia, window trim, the chimney and wall decorations.
  • It also finds what isn't painted — the roof, windows, stone, brick and lamps — and leaves a neighbor's house, a parked car and a garden statue alone.
  • Every pixel belongs to one part: where two overlap, the more specific one keeps it.
  • Fix what it missed with a Brush, an Eraser, or a Box it outlines for you; Undo and Redo.

Painting

  • Each part painted at once with a brand's paint, keeping the photo's shadows, texture and lap lines.
  • ΔE for each part: how close the painted wall comes to the paint chip.
  • On it now: tell the app the paint a part has today, and new colors show in the light that paint reveals.
  • Light and Texture sliders; outlines of one part, all of them, or none.
  • Daylight: the whole photo in morning or evening sun, midday sun, or shade — a preview of how the paints move with the day.
  • Compare with the photo as taken or another design, across a line or side by side.
  • A finish for each part (flat to gloss), named on the color list and the color card for the store.
  • Save image at full size, copy the color list, save a color card; keep several designs per house, and use one on your other photos of the house.

Paint colors

  • Sherwin-Williams, Behr, Benjamin Moore, Valspar, PPG / Glidden, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams and Dutch Boy, loaded by themselves and kept on your computer.
  • Import a brand's palette file: Adobe swatches (.ase, .aco), Excel or CSV.
  • Find a color by name or number or by color family; exterior colors only, or all; discontinued colors hidden unless you ask.
  • The same color in other brands: each one's nearest color, with how close it is.

Color schemes

  • Harmony schemes built around the body's color.
  • The brand's own coordinating colors.
  • Schemes from an AI model that suit what stays — the roof, the stone, the windows — and the words you add.
  • Every color snapped to the brand's nearest real paint; Apply puts body, trim and accent on the house.

The AI photo

  • FLUX.2 [klein] 4B, on your computer, redraws only the parts you painted; your photo is put back everywhere else, and what the model repainted is locked to your paints.
  • About 20 seconds a picture on Windows with an 8 GB NVIDIA card. Every AI photo is kept with the house.
  • Installed when you want it, with its progress and Cancel; the app checks the drive has room first.

AI on your terms

  • A local model on the built-in llama.cpp engine, free; Quick Setup picks one that fits the computer.
  • Or your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral or any OpenAI-compatible service.
  • Each AI feature on its own model and settings; the graphics card shared between them by themselves.
  • Usage counts the calls and their cost; the AI tasks panel shows what runs, with Cancel.

Around the app

  • Backups: everything as one file, and restore it; Reset to start over.
  • Storage: what takes the space, and moving the data folder to another drive.
  • Run the server on its own and use the app from a browser on your network, with access tokens.
  • Several windows stay in step; light or dark and an accent color; updates by themselves (Windows and Linux; on a Mac from the release page); logs for when something goes wrong.
