ComfyUI Simple Variables
A lightweight custom node pack for ComfyUI that provides Set/Get variable nodes for storing and retrieving any data by name across your workflow.
Installation
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/jessesep/ComfyUI-SimpleVariables.git
Restart ComfyUI and search for "variable" in the node menu.
Nodes
| Node | Description | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Set Variable | Store any data with a custom name | variables |
| Get Variable | Retrieve stored data by name | variables |
| List Variables | Show all stored variables | variables |
Usage
Basic Example
[Load Image] → [Set Variable] (name: "reference")
↓
(passes through)
... elsewhere in workflow ...
[Get Variable] (name: "reference") → [Any Node]
How It Works
- Set Variable stores any input data with your chosen variable name
- Data passes through, so you can continue your workflow normally
- Get Variable retrieves stored data anywhere by name
- Works with ALL ComfyUI data types: Image, Mask, Latent, Model, CLIP, VAE, Conditioning, String, Int, Float, and custom types
Tips
- Use descriptive names like
"upscaled_image"or"final_mask" - List Variables helps debug what's currently stored
- Variables persist for the ComfyUI session (cleared on restart)
- If a variable doesn't exist, you'll see available variable names in the error
Why Use This?
- Reduce wire clutter - "Wireless" data transfer across your workflow
- Reuse outputs - Store once, use multiple times
- Simplify complex workflows - No more spaghetti connections
- Universal - One node handles all data types
Deprecated Nodes
Type-specific nodes (Set Image Variable, Set Mask Variable, etc.) are available under variables/deprecated for backward compatibility, but Set/Get Variable handles all types so they're no longer needed.
