Requires an existing ComfyUI installation, installed as a custom node via git clone or the Manager.

So what is it?

ComfyUI-AppBuilder is a custom node extension for ComfyUI, a visual tool people use to build AI image and video generation workflows by connecting boxes on a canvas. This extension lets you take any workflow you have built in ComfyUI and turn it into a simple WebApp interface, without needing to enable ComfyUI's Node2.0 feature. In practice this means someone who is not comfortable navigating a full node graph can still use a workflow you have created. Instead of seeing all the connected nodes and technical settings, they get a plain web page with just the inputs and controls needed to run it. Installation is done by cloning the project into ComfyUI's custom_nodes folder, or by installing it through ComfyUI's built in Manager, which is the standard way ComfyUI extensions are added. The README itself is quite short. It includes a preview video showing the tool in action and credits the original ComfyUI project it depends on, but does not go into detail about specific features, configuration options, or how the resulting WebApp differs from other app-building tools in the ComfyUI ecosystem. A Chinese language version of the README is also provided.
