How It Works
Comfy Desktop separates the launcher from the workflow editor. Each installation runs its own ComfyUI backend with its own Python environment, custom nodes, and settings. When you launch one, it opens in its own window with the full ComfyUI editor. Comfy Desktop runs on Windows 10+, macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon), and Debian-based Linux. 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.Get Started
