ComfyUI Manager
Extension manager for ComfyUI to install and manage custom nodes.
About
ComfyUI Manager adds package management to ComfyUI, the node-based interface for Stable Diffusion and other generative models. From a graphical panel, users install, update, disable, and remove custom nodes drawn from a hub of hundreds of community node packs, and when a shared workflow references nodes that are missing, the manager identifies and fetches them. It also downloads models, shares workflows to platforms such as OpenArt and YouML, and provides snapshot functionality that captures the state of an installation so a working setup can be backed up and restored after a bad update. Installation is git based with support for pip and uv dependency handling, configurable security policy levels guard against untrusted node sources, and the cm-cli command line tool covers automation and headless servers. Written by ltdrdata and released under the GPL-3.0 license, it is commonly installed alongside ComfyUI by anyone who relies on custom nodes.
Should you use ComfyUI Manager?
Pick it when
Install it on any ComfyUI setup that relies on custom nodes: it resolves the missing nodes in a shared workflow, snapshots a working install before you update, and cm-cli scripts the same jobs on headless servers.
Look elsewhere when
Skip relying on it when a workflow must rebuild identically on another machine, since snapshots capture one install without model hashes, where comfy-pack fits. It also manages only ComfyUI, not the other UIs Stability Matrix handles.
Alternatives to ComfyUI Manager
- comfy-pack
Pins exact node revisions, Python packages, and model hashes into a portable artifact for another machine, but does not browse or update nodes day to day.
- Stability Matrix
Installs and updates ComfyUI itself among more than 20 UI and trainer packages with one shared checkpoint folder, but works at the package level, not per custom node.
- Pinokio
Gets ComfyUI installed in one click for beginners, but it is an app launcher, not a manager for the custom nodes inside a ComfyUI install.
