The project follows a structured release process for each minor version, consisting of three distinct phases:
-
Development Phase - 1 week
- Active development of new features
- Code changes merged to the development branch
-
Feature Freeze - 1 week
- No new features accepted
- Only bug fixes are cherry-picked to the release branch
- Testing and stabilization of the codebase
-
Publication
- Release is published at the end of the freeze period
- Version is finalized and made available to all users
Nightly releases are published daily at https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/releases.
To use the latest nightly release, add the following command line argument to your ComfyUI launch script:
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@latestThe development of successive minor versions overlaps. For example, while version 1.1 is in feature freeze, development for version 1.2 begins simultaneously.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mar 1-7 | Development | - | - | - |
| 2 | Mar 8-14 | Feature Freeze | Development | - | 1.1.0 through 1.1.6 (daily) |
| 3 | Mar 15-21 | Released | Feature Freeze | Development | 1.1.7 through 1.1.13 (daily) 1.2.0 through 1.2.6 (daily) |
| 4 | Mar 22-28 | - | Released | Feature Freeze | 1.2.7 through 1.2.13 (daily) 1.3.0 through 1.3.6 (daily) |
v1.5: Native translation (i18n)
ComfyUI now includes built-in translation support, replacing the need for third-party translation extensions. Select your language
in Comfy > Locale > Language to translate the interface into English, Chinese (Simplified), Russian, Japanese, or Korean. This native
implementation offers better performance, reliability, and maintainability compared to previous solutions.

-
Required Software:
- Node.js (v16 or later) and npm
- Git for version control
- A running ComfyUI backend instance
-
Tech Stack:
- Vue 3 with TypeScript
- Pinia for state management
- PrimeVue with TailwindCSS for UI
- litegraph.js for node editor
- zod for schema validation
- vue-i18n for internationalization
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend.git cd ComfyUI_frontend -
Install dependencies:
npm install
-
Configure environment (optional): Create a
.envfile in the project root based on the provided .env.example file.Note about ports: By default, the dev server expects the ComfyUI backend at
localhost:8188. If your ComfyUI instance runs on a different port, update this in your.envfile.
To launch ComfyUI and have it connect to your development server:
python main.py --port 8188Run npm run prepare to install Git pre-commit hooks. Currently, the pre-commit
hook is used to auto-format code on commit.
Note: The dev server will NOT load any extension from the ComfyUI server. Only core extensions will be loaded.
- Start local ComfyUI backend at
localhost:8188 - Run
npm run devto start the dev server - Run
npm run dev:electronto start the dev server with electron API mocked
Enable remote access to the dev server by setting VITE_REMOTE_DEV in .env to true.
After you start the dev server, you should see following logs:
> [email protected] dev
> vite
VITE v5.4.6 ready in 488 ms
➜ Local: http://localhost:5173/
➜ Network: http://172.21.80.1:5173/
➜ Network: http://192.168.2.20:5173/
➜ press h + enter to show help
Make sure your desktop machine and touch device are on the same network. On your touch device,
navigate to http://<server_ip>:5173 (e.g. http://192.168.2.20:5173 here), to access the ComfyUI frontend.
This project includes .vscode/launch.json.default and .vscode/settings.json.default files with recommended launch and workspace settings for editors that use the .vscode directory (e.g., VS Code, Cursor, etc.).
We've also included a list of recommended extensions in .vscode/extensions.json. Your editor should detect this file and show a human friendly list in the Extensions panel, linking each entry to its marketplace page.
The Playwright MCP server enables LLM coding assistants (like Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) to control and inspect web browsers programmatically. This allows assistants to navigate websites, take screenshots, and interact with web pages on your behalf.
For ComfyUI_frontend development, you can ask coding assistants to use Playwright screenshots to continuously verify that your code changes produce the expected visual results.
After installing dependencies with npm i, the Playwright MCP server will be automatically available when you start Claude Code locally.
Here's how Claude Code can use the Playwright MCP server to inspect the interface of the local development server (assuming you're running the dev server at localhost:5173):
> navigate to localhost:5173 and take a screenshot.

screenshot to see the menubar items.

⎿ Read image (94.3KB)
● Based on the screenshot, I can see the menubar at
the top of the ComfyUI interface contains the
following items:
Main Menubar Items:
- Workflow - Menu for workflow-related actions
- Edit - Menu for editing operations
- Help - Menu for help and documentation
Additional UI Elements:
- ComfyUI Logo - On the far left
- Workflow Tab - Shows "Unsaved Workflow" with a
dropdown and close button
- Layout Controls - On the far right (grid view
and hamburger menu icons)
The interface shows a typical ComfyUI workflow
graph with nodes like "Load Checkpoint", "CLIP
Text Encode (Prompt)", "KSampler", and "Empty
Latent Image" connected with colored cables.

This repo is using litegraph package hosted on https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js. Any changes to litegraph should be submitted in that repo instead.
- Run
npm linkin the local litegraph repo. - Run
npm link @comfyorg/litegraphin this repo.
This will replace the litegraph package in this repo with the local litegraph repo.
