Comfy Desktop Overview

Comfy Desktop overview: a desktop app that installs, manages, and launches multiple instances of ComfyUI, the node-based engine for generative AI.

Comfy Desktop is a desktop application that lets you install, manage, and launch multiple ComfyUI instances from a single launcher.

To put it simply: Comfy Desktop is the app that manages and launches ComfyUI, the node-based engine for generative AI. You don’t install ComfyUI separately — Comfy Desktop handles the installation, Python environment, and dependencies for you. Each ComfyUI instance runs independently with its own version, custom nodes, and settings.

Comfy Desktop runs on Windows 10+ and macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon). Linux has no official installer yet; you can build it from source. Each standalone installation requires at least 4.85 GB of disk space and 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended). Check the platform-specific pages for full details.
