An offline version is not yet available. For most users, edge devices most likely won’t be able to handle the computational resources. We’ll work hard towards an offline desktop app, thank you!!

Well, now you've made me look like an idiot with the original post.

What 'computational resources' are needed here, a 2nd-gen GPU? I think this kind of object removal would be awesome if it were implemented as a Gimp plugin, and even if you needed to wait for a few seconds for the changes to apply. Gimp allows scripting in Python, which seems to be what most DL projects are using these days:

I am just skeptical of any website/backend-locked software that asks for my data these days -- for which we have Big Tech to thank for -- and this is not the first website-only project shared on HN.

That's a really great suggestion using Gimp. I agree, backend-locked is not ideal. I really appreciate the feedback, thank you!
