ComfyUI-ComfySidebar

A compact and powerful layout overhaul for ComfyUI that makes generation results easier to browse, preview, compare, and manage.

✨ Features

• Compact, information-dense layout with visual previews that let you see what is happening at a glance. Optional UI elements and sidebar tabs can be hidden when you don't need them.

  

• Left or right side: Choose which side the sidebar appears on in ComfyUI settings.

• Simplified mouse-friendly workflow with drag-and-drop support and convenient actions for moving results back into the workflow, opening files, and managing outputs. Hold Ctrl for extra actions such as opening an image's location or deleting it directly from your device.

  

• Built-in comparison tool for quickly comparing two generated results side by side.

  

• [NEW] Output Gallery sidebar: Browse files and subfolders directly from your ComfyUI output directory without leaving the interface. Features dedicated cards for images, videos, audio, and 3D assets (.glb/.gltf), breadcrumb navigation, prompt metadata search across subfolders, and persistent sorting.

• Runtime preview mode combined with workflow overview makes ComfyUI practical for running and monitoring workflows in a more streamlined, queue-oriented way.
